Jonny Evans (University of Lancaster)

Lectures on Lagrangian Torus Fibrations

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explains how to use simple 2-dimensional pictures to understand the geometry and topology of 4-dimensional spaces. These spaces are of relevance in Hamiltonian dynamics, in algebraic geometry, and in mathematical string theory. It is suitable for graduate students and researchers in geometry and topology.
