Geometry of Crystallographic Groups
Author: Andrzej SzczepaĆski
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814412252
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Crystallographic groups are groups which act in a nice way and via isometries on some n-dimensional Euclidean space. This book gives an example of the torsion free crystallographic group with a trivial center and a trivial outer automorphism group.

Differential Geometry, Lie Groups, and Symmetric Spaces
Author: Sigurdur Helgason
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0080873960
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 647
Book Description
The present book is intended as a textbook and reference work on three topics in the title. Together with a volume in progress on "Groups and Geometric Analysis" it supersedes my "Differential Geometry and Symmetric Spaces," published in 1962. Since that time several branches of the subject, particularly the function theory on symmetric spaces, have developed substantially. I felt that an expanded treatment might now be useful.

Lie Groups, Differential Equations, and Geometry
Author: Giovanni Falcone
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319621815
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
This book collects a series of contributions addressing the various contexts in which the theory of Lie groups is applied. A preliminary chapter serves the reader both as a basic reference source and as an ongoing thread that runs through the subsequent chapters. From representation theory and Gerstenhaber algebras to control theory, from differential equations to Finsler geometry and Lepage manifolds, the book introduces young researchers in Mathematics to a wealth of different topics, encouraging a multidisciplinary approach to research. As such, it is suitable for students in doctoral courses, and will also benefit researchers who want to expand their field of interest.

Symmetries And Curvature Structure In General Relativity
Author: Graham S Hall
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814505315
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 443
Book Description
This is a text on classical general relativity from a geometrical viewpoint. Introductory chapters are provided on algebra, topology and manifold theory, together with a chapter on the basic ideas of space-time manifolds and Einstein's theory. There is a detailed account of algebraic structures and tensor classification in general relativity and also of the relationships between the metric, connection and curvature structures on space-times. The latter includes chapters on holonomy and sectional curvature. An extensive study is presented of symmetries in general relativity, including isometries, homotheties, conformal symmetries and affine, projective and curvature collineations. Several general properties of such symmetries are studied and a preparatory section on transformation groups and on the properties of Lie algebras of vector fields on manifolds is provided.

Dynamics of Foliations, Groups and Pseudogroups
Author: Pawel Walczak
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783764370916
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
This book deals with the dynamics of general systems such as foliations, groups and pseudogroups, systems which are closely related via the notion of holonomy. It concentrates on notions and results related to different ways of measuring complexity of systems under consideration. More precisely, it deals with different types of growth, entropies and dimensions of limiting objects. Problems related to the topics covered are provided throughout the book.
