MATH 402: Differential Geometry, Spring 2004 Description: Differential geometry is the study of geometric figures using the methods of calculus. The principal object is a differentiable manifold , which is roughly a space similar enough to ordinary Euclidean space R n to carry various structures and operations from differential calculus. This may occur as a submanifold of some R N , which is simply a subset described locally, after a rotation of R N N-n valued function f on R n . Whitney showed how an arbitrary n dimensional manifold may be identified smoothly with a submanifold of R . However, there are other useful structures for differential manifolds that are not always compatible with this viewpoint. Especially important is the notion of a Riemannian metric which provides concepts of length, angle, volume, and many notions of curvature . There have been many applications. For example, in general relativity one considers 4 dimensional space-times that may not be globally R or, when accounting for distances, even locally like a region in R

University Webmail Research Topology Algebraic Geometry Algebra Differential Geometry and Relativity ... Edit Differential Geometry and Relativity The General Relativity group is led by Professor Graham Hall and there are normally several visiting relativists during the session. This group has had a sequence of outstandingly able research students and several postdoctoral fellows in recent years. At present two PhD students are part of the group. A Scottish Universities Summer School in General Relativity was organised by this research group in 1995. Professor Graham Hall, in several invited addresses and lecture series in Europe, North and South America, Russia and elsewhere in the 1990s, detailed a research programme for a systematic study of 'symmetry' in general relativity. This was extended in several directions and the detailed theory was presented in Hall's book "Symmetry and Curvature structure in General Relativity" (World Scientific 2004). The essential meaning of symmetry here lies in the existence of families of local diffeomorphisms defined for each point of a space-time, generally arising from a vector field, and preserving some geometric or physical structure. The prototype is metric symmetry, but the study extends to homotheties, affine collineations, conformal and projective symmetries and Ricci, matter and curvature collineations. The most important new tools used are the systematic application of holonomy groups and fixed point theory together with a more detailed mathematical analysis of the associated orbit sructure. The latter ideas were presented in several invited talks including one at GR17 in Dublin in 2004.

Homework 1 Macro mac.tex Macro mathmac.tex A Word of Advice : Expect to be held to high standards, and conversely! In addition to transparencies, I will distribute lecture notes. Please, read the course notes regularly, and start working early on the problems sets. They will be hard! Take pride in your work. Be clear, rigorous, neat, and concise. Preferably, use a good text processor, such as LATEX, to write up your solutions. You are allowed to work in small teams of at most three. We will have special problems sessions, roughly every two weeks, during which we will solve the problems together. Be prepared to present your solutions at the blackboard. I am hard to convince, especially if your use blatantly ``handwaving'' arguments. Brief description: The course should be of interest to anyone who likes geometry.

EDGE-Madrid Portuguese and Spanish node of the European Research Training Network European Differential Geometry Endeavour First meeting RTGF Miraflores de la Sierra, Madrid, 24-28 November 2003 Organizing committee: Main themes. The first meeting of the RTGF will focus on the interplay between gauge theory, algebraic geometry and string theory. Invited speakers: Nigel Hitchin (Oxford), Ruben Minasian (Ecole Polytechnique, Paris), Peter Newstead (Liverpool and CSIC-Madrid), Christoph Schweigert (Hamburg), Richard Thomas (Imperial College, London). The meeting will take place at a conference and residence hall called "La Cristalera", at 2 Km. from Miraflores de la Sierra, a small village located 50 Km. north of Madrid. All the participants will be accommodated in this residence. La Cristalera will open on Monday 24th at noon. and will close on Friday 28 after lunch. This means that accommodation at this residence will not be possible outside these dates. There will be lunch served at 13.30 on Monday 24th and Friday 28th. Details on how to get to "La Cristalera" will be given later. Programme.
