Submanifolds and Holonomy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This second edition explores recent progress in the submanifold geometry of space forms, including new methods based on the holonomy of the normal connection. It contains five new chapters on the normal holonomy of complex submanifolds, the Berger-Simons holonomy theorem, the skew-torsion holonomy theorem, and polar actions on symmetric spaces of compact type and noncompact type. It also includes several new sections on orbits for isometric actions, geodesic submanifolds, and symmetric spaces.
