Initiation to Global Finslerian Geometry
H. Akbar-Zadeh
Hardcover - $294.95
After a brief description of the evolution of thinking on Finslerian geometry starting from Riemann, Finsler, Berwald and Elie Cartan, the book gives a clear and precise treatment of this geometry. The first three chapters develop the basic notions a ...
Finsler and Lagrange Geometries
M. Anastasiei
Hardcover - $306.95
This text gives the most recent results in Finsler and related geometries from the Miron school. Both pure and applied topics are covered. For example Higher-Order geometry, Hamilton and Cartan spaces, Legendre transformations, self-duality in Gauge ...
The Theory of Sprays and Finsler Spaces with Applications in Physics and Biology
Peter L. Antonelli
Hardcover - $544.95
This volume presents the principles and methods of sprays (path spaces) and Finsler spaces with many applications in the physical and life sciences. The book has six chapters and an extensive reference section. Beginning from the classical theory of ...
Harmonic Morphisms Between Riemannian Manifolds
Paul Baird
Hardcover - $645.95
This is the first account in book form of the theory of harmonic morphisms between Riemannian manifolds. Harmonic morphisms are maps which preserve Laplace's equation. They can be characterized as harmonic maps which satisfy an additional first order ...
An Introduction to Riemann-Finsler Geometry
David Dai-Wai Bao
Hardcover - $149.95
In Riemannian geometry, measurements are made with both yardsticks and protractors. These tools are represented by a family of inner-products. In Riemann-Finsler geometry (or Finsler geometry for short), one is in principle equipped with only a famil ...
Global Lorentzian Geometry, Second Edition
John K. Beem
Hardcover - $506.95
Bridging the gap between modern differential geometry and the mathematical physics of general relativity, this text, in its second edition, includes new and expanded material on topics such as the instability of both geodesic completeness and geodesi ...
Riemannian Geometry of Contact and Symplectic Manifolds
David E. Blair
Hardcover - $149.95
This monograph deals with the Riemannian geometry of both symplectic and contact manifolds, with particular emphasis on the latter. The text is carefully presented. Topics unfold systematically from Chapter 1, which examines the general theory of sym ...
Plane Analytic Geometry : With Introductory Chapters on the Differential Calculus
Maxime Bocher
Hardcover - $65.95
