Description
In the series of volumes which together will constitute the "Handbook of Differential Geometry" we try to give a rather complete survey
of the field of differential geometry. The different chapters will both deal with the basic material of differential geometry and with
research results (old and recent).
All chapters are written by experts in the area and contain a large bibliography. In this second
volume a wide range of areas in the very broad field of differential geometry is discussed, as there are Riemannian geometry, Lorentzian
geometry, Finsler geometry, symplectic geometry, contact geometry, complex geometry, Lagrange geometry and the geometry of foliations.
Although this does not cover the whole of differential geometry, the reader will be provided with an overview of some its most important
areas.
Audience
Researchers, doctoral students and libraries in the field of Differential geometry, Geometry and Global Analysis - Analysis on manifolds
