Product Description
Different Faces of Geometry - edited by the world renowned geometers S. Donaldson, Ya. Eliashberg, and M. Gromov - presents the current state, new results, original ideas and open questions from the following important topics in modern geometry: - Amoebas and Tropical Geometry;
- Convex Geometry and Asymptotic Geometric Analysis;
- Differential Topology of 4-Manifolds;
- 3-Dimensional Contact Geometry;
- Floer Homology and Low-Dimensional Topology;
- Kähler Geometry;
- Lagrangian and Special Lagrangian Submanifolds;
- Refined Seiberg-Witten Invariants.
These apparently diverse topics have a common feature in that they are all areas of exciting current activity.
