Geometry, Lie Theory and Applications

Download or read book Geometry, Lie Theory and Applications written by Sigbjørn Hervik and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-02-07 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book consists of contributions from the participants of the Abel Symposium 2019 held in Ålesund, Norway. It was centered about applications of the ideas of symmetry and invariance, including equivalence and deformation theory of geometric structures, classification of differential invariants and invariant differential operators, integrability analysis of equations of mathematical physics, progress in parabolic geometry and mathematical aspects of general relativity. The chapters are written by leading international researchers, and consist of both survey and research articles. The book gives the reader an insight into the current research in differential geometry and Lie theory, as well as applications of these topics, in particular to general relativity and string theory.
