Title: New Developments in Differential Geometry
Description: This volume contains thirty-six research articles presented at the Colloquium on Differential Geometry, which was held in Debrecen, Hungary, July 26-30, 1994. The conference was a continuation in the series of the Colloquia of the János Bolyai Society. The range covered reflects current activity in differential geometry. The main topics are Riemannian geometry, Finsler geometry, submanifold theory and applications to theoretical physics. Includes several interesting results by leading researchers in these fields: e.g. on non-commutative geometry, spin bordism groups, Cosserat continuum, field theories, second order differential equations, sprays, natural operators, higher order frame bundles, Sasakian and Kähler manifolds. Audience: This book will be valuable for researchers and postgraduate students whose work involves differential geometry, global analysis, analysis on manifolds, relativity and gravitation and electromagnetic theory.
Subjects: Global differential geometry, Mathematics, Global analysis, Geometry, differential, Differential Geometry, Global Analysis and Analysis on Manifolds, Mathematical and Computational Physics Theoretical
