From Ricci flow to GIT, physics to curvature bounds, Sasaki geometry to almost formality. This is differential geometry at large.

Recenzje

'The volume includes important additions to the literature including new results, new proofs of previous results, and simplified expositions, and also an excellent collection of surveys on recent activity. It is well written and offers a generous overview and invitation to a variety of modern, active topics in differential geometry.' Christopher Seaton, MAA Reviews
