Global theory of connections and holonomy groups
Author: Andre Lichnerowicz

Category : Mathematics

Book Description
This work was conceived as an introduction to global differ ential geometry. It assumes known only the elements of classical differential geometry and Lie groupst. Some theorems are admit ted without proof, but in the majority of cases detailed proofs are given. If this book allows researchers to initiate them selves in contemporary works on the global theory of connections, it will have achieved its goal. The Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche has done me the great honour of including my book in its fine collection. I would wish it to find here an expression of my profound gratitude. Monsieur Dalla Volta has graciously provided a skilful and invaluable cooperation with the material cares of publication, which has been a great help to me. Without a doubt this book would never have seen the light of day without the illuminating advice of Monsieur Enrico Bompiani; it was conceived during the course of some weeks spent in 1955 at the University of Rome in the unforgettable atmosphere of the Istituto di Matematica. A. LICHNEROWICZ t The notations used for linear groups are those of Chevalley (Lie Groups) .

Book Description
This ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF MATHEMATICS aims to be a reference work for all parts of mathe matics. It is a translation with updates and editorial comments of the Soviet Mathematical Encyclopaedia published by 'Soviet Encyclopaedia Publishing House' in five volumes in 1977-1985. The annotated translation consists of ten volumes including a special index volume. There are three kinds of articles in this ENCYCLOPAEDIA. First of all there are survey-type articles dealing with the various main directions in mathematics (where a rather fine subdivi sion has been used). The main requirement for these articles has been that they should give a reasonably complete up-to-date account of the current state of affairs in these areas and that they should be maximally accessible. On the whole, these articles should be understandable to mathematics students in their first specialization years, to graduates from other mathematical areas and, depending on the specific subject, to specialists in other domains of science, en gineers and teachers of mathematics. These articles treat their material at a fairly general level and aim to give an idea of the kind of problems, techniques and concepts involved in the area in question. They also contain background and motivation rather than precise statements of precise theorems with detailed definitions and technical details on how to carry out proofs and constructions. The second kind of article, of medium length, contains more detailed concrete problems, results and techniques.

Lectures on the Geometry of Poisson Manifolds
Author: Izu Vaisman
Publisher: Birkhäuser
ISBN: 3034884958
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
This book is addressed to graduate students and researchers in the fields of mathematics and physics who are interested in mathematical and theoretical physics, differential geometry, mechanics, quantization theories and quantum physics, quantum groups etc., and who are familiar with differentiable and symplectic manifolds. The aim of the book is to provide the reader with a monograph that enables him to study systematically basic and advanced material on the recently developed theory of Poisson manifolds, and that also offers ready access to bibliographical references for the continuation of his study. Until now, most of this material was dispersed in research papers published in many journals and languages. The main subjects treated are the Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket; the generalized Frobenius theorem; the basics of Poisson manifolds; Poisson calculus and cohomology; quantization; Poisson morphisms and reduction; realizations of Poisson manifolds by symplectic manifolds and by symplectic groupoids and Poisson-Lie groups. The book unifies terminology and notation. It also reports on some original developments stemming from the author's work, including new results on Poisson cohomology and geometric quantization, cofoliations and biinvariant Poisson structures on Lie groups.
