Description

Book Synopsis
Presents the study of Riemannian manifolds through specializing the theory of connections on principle bundles and affine connections. This work emphasizes the geometry of Riemannian manifolds, so that the theorems of Hopf-Rinow, Hadamard-Cartan, and Cartan's local isometry theorem are included, but no elliptic operator theory.

Table of Contents
Manifolds Lie groups Fibre bundles Differential forms Connexions Affine connexions Riemannian manifolds Geodesics and complete Riemannian manifolds Riemannian curvature Immersions and the second fundamental form Second variation of arc length Theorems on differential equations Bibliography Subject index.
