Beschreibung
This established reference work continues to provide its readers with a gateway to some of the most interesting developments in contemporary geometry. It offers insight into a wide range of topics, including fundamental concepts of Riemannian geometry, such as geodesics, connections and curvature; the basic models and tools of geometric analysis, such as harmonic functions, forms, mappings, eigenvalues, the Dirac operator and the heat flow method; as well as the most important variational principles of theoretical physics, such as Yang-Mills, Ginzburg-Landau or the nonlinear sigma model of quantum field theory. The present volume connects all these topics in a systematic geometric framework. At the same time, it equips the reader with the working tools of the field and enables her or him to delve into geometric research.
The 7th edition has been systematically reorganized and updated. Almost no page has been left unchanged. It also includes newmaterial, for instance on symplectic geometry, as well as the Bishop-Gromov volume growth theorem which elucidates the geometric role of Ricci curvature.
From the reviews:
"This book provides a very readable introduction to Riemannian geometry and geometric analysis... With the vast development of the mathematical subject of geometric analysis, the present textbook is most welcome." Mathematical Reviews
"For readers familiar with the basics of differential geometry and some acquaintance with modern analysis, the book is reasonably self-contained. The book succeeds very well in laying out the foundations of modern Riemannian geometry and geometric analysis. It introduces a number of key techniques and provides a representative overview of the field." Monatshefte für Mathematik

Über den Autor
Jürgen Jost studierte von 1975 bis 1980 Mathematik, Physik, Volkswirtschaftslehre und Philosophie an der Universität Bonn. Er promovierte 1980 in der Mathematik und wurde nach verschiedenen internationalen Forschungsaufenthalten 1984 als Professor für Mathematik an die Ruhruniversität Bochum und 1996 als Direktor an das neu zu gründende Max-Planck-Institut für Mathematik in den Naturwissenschaften in Leipzig berufen. Er ist auch Honorarprofessor an der Universität Leipzig und externes Fakultätsmitglied des Santa Fe Institute for the Sciences of Complexity in den USA. 1993 erhielt er den Gottfried-Wilhelm-Leibniz-Preis der DFG und 2010 einen Advanced Grant des European Research Council. Er ist Autor von mehr als 20 Forschungsmonographien und Lehrbüchern und von über 400 wissenschaftlichen Fachpublikationen. In seinen Forschungen verbindet er eine Vielzahl von mathematischen Disziplinen und Methoden mit einer allgemeinen Theorie komplexer Systeme und vielfältigen Anwendungen in der mathematischen und theoretischen Biologie und Neurobiologie.
