CONTEMPORARY GEOMETRY AND RELATED TOPICS
Proceedings of the Workshop
Belgrade, Yugoslavia 15 - 21 May 2002

edited by Neda Bokan, Mirjana Djoric, Zoran Rakic (University of Belgrade, Yugoslavia), Anatoly T Fomenko (Moscow State University, Russia) & Julius Wess (Universität Munchen, Germany)

This volume covers a broad range of subjects in modern geometry and related branches of mathematics, physics and computer science. Most of the papers show new, interesting results in Riemannian geometry, homotopy theory, theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras, topological analysis, integrable systems, quantum groups, and noncommutative geometry. There are also papers giving overviews of the recent achievements in some special topics, such as the Willmore conjecture, geodesic mappings, Weyl's tube formula, and integrable geodesic flows. This book provides a great chance for interchanging new results and ideas in multidisciplinary studies.

The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:

  • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings)
  • CC Proceedings — Engineering & Physical Sciences

  • Invariant Structures Generated by Lie Group Automorphisms on Homogenous Spaces (V V Balashchenko)
