The role of Lie groups in differential geometry, which is often somewhat ambiguous in other introductory texts, is emphasized. Following the philosophy that geometry is determined by the symmetries we are interested in, Ca
Cartan geometries were the first examples of connections on a principal bundle. They seem to be almost unknown these days, in spite of the great beauty and conceptual power they confer on geometry. The aim of the present book is to fill the gap in the literature on differential geometry by the missing notion of Cartan connections. Although the author had in mind a book accessible to graduate students, potential readers would also include working differential geometers wh...
You can specify the type of files you want, for your device.Differential Geometry: Cartan's Generalization of Klein's Erlangen Program (Graduate Texts in Mathematics, Vol. 166) | R.W. Sharpe. I have read it a couple of times and even shared with my family members. Really good. Couldnt put it down.
