@article{1444609, note = {Includes index.}, author = {Papadopoulos, Athanase,}, url = {http://library.usi.edu/record/1444609}, title = {Surveys in geometry., I /}, abstract = {The volume consists of a set of surveys on geometry in the broad sense. The goal is to present a certain number of research topics in a non-technical and appealing manner. The topics surveyed include spherical geometry, the geometry of finite-dimensional normed spaces, metric geometry (Bishop-Gromov type inequalities in Gromov-hyperbolic spaces), convexity theory and inequalities involving volumes and mixed volumes of convex bodies, 4-dimensional topology, Teichmüller spaces and mapping class groups actions, translation surfaces and their dynamics, and complex higher-dimensional geometry. Several chapters are based on lectures given by their authors to middle-advanced level students and young researchers. The whole book is intended to be an introduction to current research trends in geometry.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-86695-2}, recid = {1444609}, pages = {1 online resource :}, }
