Grading Grades will be based on weekly homework assignments.
Ma 157a, Introduction to Riemannian Geometry
This is called Comparison Geometry, and I sometimes find this point of view more appealing and geometric than the traditional one.
Initially, I’ll start by covering some basic facts about smooth manifolds: The weekly homework will be due in class on Fridays, at the beginning of class. This is not a textbook which carefully covers foundations of the field, but an page attempt to survey all of modern Riemannian rienannian. The exercises are spread throughout the text.
Curvature and growth of the fundamental group. Due Friday, Feb 2.
Beyond this, late homework will not be accepted, except in certain extreme circumstances, in which case you must ask me for an extension prior to the due date. Prices are subject to change without notice.
It can be ordered online and is expected to ship in days. Our stock data is updated overnight, and availability may change throughout the day for in-demand items. Prerequisites A background in the basic topology of smooth manifolds e. The behavior of length and energy in the neighborhood of a geodesic.
Greene : Review: S. Gallot, D. Hulin and J. Lafontaine, Riemannian geometry
For this third edition, some topics The course will begin with an overview of Riemannian manifolds including such basics as geodesics, curvature, and the exponential map. This book addresses both the graduate student wanting tolearn Riemannian geometry, and also the professionalmathematician from gwometry neighbouring field who needsinformation about ideas and techniques which are nowpervading lqfontaine parts of mathematics.
Though they are often enumerated abc they are distinct problems and are counted as such toward your total of 4 problems. Due Friday, March 2. It contains numerous exercises with full solutions and a series of detailed examples which are picked up repeatedly to illustrate each …mehr.
Sloan Office Phone: First and second variation. There is another point of view one can julin on Riemannian geometry which deemphasizes the role of differentiability and focuses on more intrinsically metric-space notions.
If you won’t be in class on Friday, turn your homework into my box outside the math department office at least 15 minutes prior to the start of class; late-but-not-too-late HW can be put in the same place. H Partitions of unity. Application to Riemannian submersions. Here “beginning of class” will be interpreted generously, say up to 10 minutes after I start, hulon no need to rush if your running a bit late.
Riemannian Geometry
Borzellino, Mathematical Reviews, “This book based on graduate course on Riemannian geometry This will not be a typical assignment; in future sets I will follow the usual path of assigning particular problems but give the diversity of the classes backgrounds this seems the best thing to do for this assignment. For this third edition, some topics about the geodesic flow and Lorentzian geometry have been added and worked out in the same spirit.
Classical results on the relations between curvature andtopology are treated in detail.
Ma a or Ma a. However, your lowest homework grade ladontaine be dropped. Due Friday, March 9. In particular, there will be no exams in this course.
