Textbook 2016Latest editioning enough background on advanced topics to appeal to those students wishing to specialize in Riemannian geometry. This is one of the few Works to combine both the geometric parts of ?Riemannian geometry and the analytic aspects of the theory. The book will appeal to a readership that have a basic k

The Bochner Technique,ompact manifolds with nonnegative curvature operator in chapter 10 To establish the relevant Bochner formula for forms, we have used a somewhat forgotten approach by Poor. It appears to be quite simple and intuitive. It can, as we shall see, also be generalized to work on other tensors including the curvature tensor.

Curvature, the realm of geometry. The most elementary way of defining curvature is to set it up as an integrability condition. This indicates that when it vanishes it should be possible to solve certain differential equations, e.g., that the metric is Euclidean. This was in fact one of Riemann’s key insights.

In particular, we shall look at the space forms ..., products of spheres, and the Riemannian version of the Schwarzschild metric. We also offer a local characterization of certain warped products and rotationally symmetric

Geodesics and Distance,s. These curves will help us define and understand Riemannian manifolds as metric spaces. One is led quickly to two types of “completeness”. The first is of standard metric completeness, and the other is what we call geodesic completeness, namely, when all geodesics exist for all time. We shall prov

Our first global result is the Hadamard-Cartan theorem, which says that a simply connected complete manifold with . is diffeomorphic to .. There are also several interesting restrictions on the topology in positive curvature that we shall investigate, notably, th

We also explain in detail how the Bochner technique extends to forms and other tensors by using Lichnerowicz Laplacians. This leads to a classification of c

Symmetric Spaces and Holonomy,explicit examples, including the complex projective space, in order to show how one can compute curvatures on symmetric spaces relatively easily. There is a brief introduction to holonomy and the de Rham decomposition theorem. We give a few interesting consequences of this theorem and then proceed t
