Description:

As an annual supplement to the Journal of Differential Geometry, Surveys in Differential Geometry focuses on specific topics of current interest. Survey articles review the current state of knowledge relating to particular questions and present new integrative results. Surveys in Differential Geometry provides both a large number of insightful and informative articles and an indispensable tool for keeping up with the wide variety of researches in Differential Geometry.

This volume includes lectures on geometry and topology related to the works of the late and venerated S.S. Chern. From the 2005 JDG conference at Harvard University. Larger-format 2008 re-issue with corrected table of contents.
