自從愛因斯坦提出廣義相對(duì)論以來,微分幾何就與廣義相對(duì)論密不可分。微分幾何和幾何分析為學(xué)習(xí)廣義相對(duì)論提供方法以及正確的框架,而廣義相對(duì)論激發(fā)富有挑戰(zhàn)性的各種問題。本書包含23篇幾何分析和廣義相對(duì)論各領(lǐng)域的綜述性文章,作者均為該領(lǐng)域的知名專家。幾何分析方面的內(nèi)容包括:Yamabe問題、平均曲率流、極小曲面、調(diào)和映照、Ricci流、膠合與分裂結(jié)構(gòu)、函數(shù)論、流形的塌陷、Kahler-Einstein度量、完備流形的漸近幾何以及Teichmuller空間幾何等。廣義相對(duì)論方面的內(nèi)容包括:正質(zhì)量定理、Penrose不等式、標(biāo)量曲率及Einstein約束方程、準(zhǔn)局域質(zhì)量泛函、高維黑洞拓?fù)、漸近雙曲流形的正質(zhì)量定理等。本書可供幾何分析或相對(duì)論領(lǐng)域的研究人員和研究生參考。
