چکیده
This is an electronic edition of the 1980 notes distributed by Princeton University. The text was typed in T E X by Sheila Newbery, who also scanned the figures. Typos have been corrected (and probably others introduced), but otherwise no attempt has been made to update the contents. Genevieve Walsh compiled the index. Numbers on the right margin correspond to the original edition's page numbers. is a considerable expansion of the first few chapters of these notes. Later chapters have not yet appeared in book form. Please send corrections to Silvio Levy at [email protected].

A Geometry Preserving Kernel over Riemannian Manifolds
Abstract- Kernel trick and projection to tangent spaces are two choices for linearizing the data points lying on Riemannian manifolds. These approaches are used to provide the prerequisites for applying standard machine learning methods on Riemannian manifolds. Classical kernels implicitly project data to high dimensional feature space without considering the intrinsic geometry of data points. ...
متن کاملRelative volume comparison theorems in Finsler geometry and their applications
We establish some relative volume comparison theorems for extremal volume forms of Finsler manifolds under suitable curvature bounds. As their applications, we obtain some results on curvature and topology of Finsler manifolds. Our results remove the usual assumption on S-curvature that is needed in the literature.
متن کاملOn some generalized recurrent manifolds
The object of the present paper is to introduce and study a type of non-flat semi-Riemannian manifolds, called, super generalized recurrent manifolds which generalizes both the notion of hyper generalized recurrent manifolds [A.A. Shaikh and A. Patra, On a generalized class of recurrent manifolds, Arch. Math. (Brno) 46 (2010) 71--78.] and weakly generalized recurrent manifolds ...
متن کاملOn the k-nullity foliations in Finsler geometry
Here, a Finsler manifold $(M,F)$ is considered with corresponding curvature tensor, regarded as $2$-forms on the bundle of non-zero tangent vectors. Certain subspaces of the tangent spaces of $M$ determined by the curvature are introduced and called $k$-nullity foliations of the curvature operator. It is shown that if the dimension of foliation is constant, then the distribution is involutive...
متن کاملHolomorphic Triangle Invariants and the Topology of Symplectic Four-manifolds
This article analyzes the interplay between symplectic geometry in dimension four and the invariants for smooth four-manifolds constructed using holomorphic triangles introduced in [18]. Specifically, we establish a non-vanishing result for the invariants of symplectic four-manifolds, which leads to new proofs of the indecomposability theorem for symplectic four-manifolds and the symplectic Tho...
متن کاملApplications of minimal surfaces to the topology of three-manifolds
In this paper, I will mention some applications of minimal surfaces to the geometry and topology of three-manifolds that I discussed in my lecture at the Current Developments in Mathematics Conference for 2004. The first important application of minimal surfaces to the geometry of three-manifolds was given by Schoen and Yau [22] in their study of Riemannian three-manifolds of positive scalar cu...
