Differential Geometry and Mathematical Physics

Part I. Manifolds, Lie Groups and Hamiltonian Systems

Ranked #95 in Differential Geometry

Starting from undergraduate level, this book systematically develops the basics of - Analysis on manifolds, Lie groups and G-manifolds (including equivariant dynamics) - Symplectic algebra and geometry, Hamiltonian systems, symmetries and reduction, - Integrable systems, Hamilton-Jacobi theory (including Morse families, the Maslov class and caustics). The first item is relevant for virtually all areas of mathematical physics, while the second item provides the basis of Hamiltonian mechanics. The last item introduces to important special areas. Necessary background knowledge on topology is... more
