Geometries on Surfaces by Burkard Polster and Gunter Steinke Published by Cambridge University Press (2001) |
Book description
One century after Hilbert constructed the first example of a non-classical affine plane, this book aims
to summarize all the major results about geometries on surfaces. Acting both as a reference and a
monograph, the authors have included detailed sections on what is known as well as outlining
problems that remain to be solved. There are sections on classical geometries, methods for
constructing non-classical geometries and classifications and characterizations of geometries. This
work is related to a host of other fields including approximation, convexity, differential geometry
topology and many more. This book will appeal to students, researchers and lecturers working in
geometry or any one of the many associated areas outlined above.
