Description

Book Synopsis
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.

Table of 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.
