| Summary |
Pseudo-Riemannian geometry is an active research field not only in differential geometry but also in mathematical physics where the higher signature geometries play a role in brane theory. An essential reference tool for research mathematicians and physicists, this book also serves as a useful introduction to students entering this active and rapidly growing field. The author presents a comprehensive treatment of several aspects of pseudo-Riemannian geometry, including the spectral geometry of the curvature tensor, curvature homogeneity, and Stanilov?Tsankov?Videv theory. |
| Contents |
The geometry of the Riemann curvature tensor -- Curvature homogeneous generalized plane wave manifolds -- Other pseudo-Riemannian manifolds -- The curvature tensor -- Complex Osserman algebraic curvature tensors -- Stanilov-Tsankov theory. |
