Semi-Riemannian Geometry With Applications to Relativity (Volume 103) (Pure and Applied Mathematics (Volume 103)) (1st Edition) by Barrett O'neill, Los Angeles, U.S.A.) Hardcover, 468 Pages, Published 1983 ISBN-10: 0-12-526740-1 / 0125267401 ISBN-13: 978-0-12-526740-3 / 9780125267403 This book is an exposition of "semi-Riemannian geometry" (also called "pseudo-Riemannian geometry")--the study of a smooth manifold furnished with a metric tensor of arbitrary signature. The principal special cases are Riemannian geometry, where the metric is positive definite, and Lorentz geometry. |
