Variational Problems in Differential Geometry (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series, Vol. 394)

The sector of geometric variational difficulties is fast-moving and influential. those difficulties engage with many different components of arithmetic and feature robust relevance to the examine of integrable platforms, mathematical physics and PDEs. The workshop 'Variational difficulties in Differential Geometry' held in 2009 on the collage of Leeds introduced jointly the world over revered researchers from many various parts of the sphere.

Lie Algebras, Geometry, and Toda-Type Systems (Cambridge Lecture Notes in Physics)

Dedicated to a massive and well known department of contemporary theoretical and mathematical physics, this ebook introduces using Lie algebra and differential geometry the way to learn nonlinear integrable structures of Toda kind. Many demanding difficulties in theoretical physics are with regards to the answer of nonlinear structures of partial differential equations.

Contact Geometry and Nonlinear Differential Equations (Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications)

Tools from touch and symplectic geometry can be utilized to resolve hugely non-trivial nonlinear partial and usual differential equations with out resorting to approximate numerical equipment or algebraic computing software program. This ebook explains how it really is performed. It combines the readability and accessibility of a complicated textbook with the completeness of an encyclopedia.

Topology of Fibre Bundles

Fibre bundles, now an essential component of differential geometry, also are of significant value in glossy physics--such as in gauge concept. This ebook, a succinct creation to the topic by way of renown mathematician Norman Steenrod, was once the 1st to provide the topic systematically. It starts with a basic advent to bundles, together with such subject matters as differentiable manifolds and protecting areas.
