Description: As an annual supplement to the Journal of Differential Geometry, the Surveys in Differential Geometry volume is received with anticipation each year as it summarizes many of the recent discoveries in the field. This year's volume is dedicated to the founders of index theory: M. Atiyah, R. Bott, F. Hirzebruch, and I.M. Singer, containing many contributions by their students and colleagues, and reflects the significant work in the field by these great mathematicians. The volume is suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in geometry and topology. Contents: The geometry of classical particles M.
