Affine differential geometry: geometry of affine immersions
Publication date:
280 p. · 15.1x22.8 cm · Paperback
This is a self-contained and systematic account of affine differential geometry from a contemporary view, not only covering the classical theory, but also introducing more modern developments. In order both to cover as much as possible and to keep the text of a reasonable size, the authors have concentrated on the significant features of the subject and their relationship and application to such areas as Riemannian, Euclidean, Lorentzian and projective differential geometry. In so doing, they also provide a modern introduction to the last. Some of the important geometric surfaces considered are illustrated by computer graphics, making this a physically and mathematically attractive book for all researchers in differential geometry, and for mathematical physicists seeking a quick entry to the subject.
1. Affine geometry and affine connections; 2. Geometry of affine immersions: the basic theory; 3. Models with remarkable properties; 4. Affine-geometric structures.
