Differential Geometry II
In the lecture, basic topics in Riemannian Geometry are treated from a theoretical point of view and illustrated with several examples.
Content: A digest of the following topics will be presented:
- exponential map and Hopf-Rinow theorem
- Riemannian manifolds and metrics, Riemannian curvature tensor
- Levi-Civita connection
- connections between curvature und topology (e.g. Myers theorem, Hadamard-Cartan theorem, Klingenberg theorem, rigidity theorems)
- closed geodesics
- Stokes theorem, cohomology
- spaces of constant curvature, Lie groups, symmetric and homogeneous spaces
- discretization and numerical application
