 Advanced Studies in Pure Mathematics 1993; 505 pp; hardcover Volume: 22 ISBN-10: 4-314-10105-9 ISBN-13: 978-4-314-10105-9 Order Code: ASPM/22 This volume brings together twenty-five research papers and two survey articles on differential geometry and global analysis, areas in which Japanese differential geometers have recently made great progress. Urakawa's paper is a deep and comprehensive survey on recent results and open problems in differential geometry, including Green functions and Liouville type theorems. Yamaguchi's survey deals with the Lie algebra of all infinitesimal automorphisms of a differential system on a manifold and presents basic material on the geometry of differential systems and simple graded Lie algebras over the real or complex numbers. The research articles cover such topics as minimal surfaces, submanifold theory, analysis on manifolds, $$L^2$$-cohomology theory, and Riemannian geometry. This book will appeal to mathematicians interested in modern differential geometry, as well as to graduate students who are looking for a good overview of some of the main trends in this field. Volumes in this series are freely available electronically 5 years post-publication. Published for the Mathematical Society of Japan by Kinokuniya, Tokyo, and distributed worldwide, except in Japan, by the AMS. Readership Graduate students studying differential geometry and analysis, and mathematicians interested in modern differential geometry. Table of Contents K.
