The volume contains a selection of papers presented at the 7th Symposium on differential geometry and differential equations (DD7) held at the Nankai Institute of Mathematics, Tianjin, China, in 1986.
The general theory of relativity, as formulated by Albert Einstein in 1915, provided an astoundingly original perspective on the physical nature of gr- itation, showing that it could be understood as a feature of a curvature in the four-dimensional continuum of space-time.
The NLAGA's Biennial International Research Symposium (NLAGA-BIRS) is intended to gather African expertises in Nonlinear Analysis, Geometry and their Applications with their international partners in a four days conference where new mathematical results are presented and discussed.
Elementary Differential Geometry presents the main results in the differential geometry of curves and surfaces suitable for a first course on the subject.
Aimed at advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students, this book provides a first taste of the theory of Lie groups as an appetiser for a more substantial further course.

In this book, the optimal transportation problem (OT) is described as a variational problem for absolutely continuous stochastic processes with fixed initial and terminal distributions.
This book, Differential Geometry: Riemannian Geometry and Isometric Immersions (Book I-B), is the second in a captivating series of four books presenting a choice of topics, among fundamental and more advanced in differential geometry (DG).
This textbook provides a concise introduction to the differential geometry of curves and surfaces in three-dimensional space, tailored for undergraduate students with a solid foundation in mathematical analysis and linear algebra.
Several important problems arising in Physics, Differential Geometry and other topics lead to consider semilinear variational equations of strongly indefinite type and a great deal of work has been devoted to their study.
Provides the first systematic study of geometry and topology of locally symmetric rank one manifolds and dynamics of discrete action of their fundamental groups.
Provides the first systematic study of geometry and topology of locally symmetric rank one manifolds and dynamics of discrete action of their fundamental groups.
This textbook offers a concise introduction to symplectic and contact geometry, with a focus on the relationships between these subjects and other topics such as Lie theory and classical mechanics.
