Titre : Metric Structures in Differential Geometry Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Gerard Walschap ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editeur : Berlin ; Heidelberg (DEU) ; New York ; Bâle (CHE) : Springer Année de publication : 2004 Collection : Graduate Texts in Mathematics, ISSN 0072-5285 num. 224 Importance : VIII, 229 p. 7 illus Présentation : online resource ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-387-21826-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Mathematics Global analysis Manifolds Differential geometry Complex manifolds Differential Geometry Global Analysis and Analysis on Manifolds Résumé : This text is an introduction to the theory of differentiable manifolds and fiber bundles. The only requisites are a solid background in calculus and linear algebra, together with some basic point-set topology. The first chapter provides a comprehensive overview of differentiable manifolds. The following two chapters are devoted to fiber bundles and homotopy theory of fibrations. Vector bundles have been emphasized, although principal bundles are also discussed in detail. The last three chapters study bundles from the point of view of metric differential geometry: Euclidean bundles, Riemannian connections, curvature, and Chern-Weil theory are discussed, including the Pontrjagin, Euler, and Chern characteristic classes of a vector bundle. These concepts are illustrated in detail for bundles over spheres. Chapter 5, with its focus on the tangent bundle, also serves as a basic introduction to Riemannian geometry in the large. This book can be used for a one-semester course on manifolds or bundles, or a two-semester course in differential geometry.
