Einstein Metrics and Yang-Mills Connections: Proceedings of the 27th Taniguchi International Symposium (Lecture notes in pure and applied mathematics ; v. 145)

This volume contains papers presented at the 27th Taniguchi International Symposium, held in Sanda, Japan - focusing on the study of moduli spaces of various geometric objects such as Einstein metrics, conformal structures, and Yang-Mills connections from algebraic and analytic points of view.;Written by over 15 authorities from around the world, Einstein Metrics and Yang-Mills Connections...: discusses current topics in Kaehler geometry, including Kaehler-Einstein metrics, Hermitian-Einstein connections and a new Kaehler version of Kawamata-Viehweg's vanishing theorem; explores algebraic geometric treatments of holomorphic vector bundles on curves and surfaces; addresses nonlinear problems related to Mong-Ampere and Yamabe-type equations as well as nonlinear equations in mathematical physics; and covers interdisciplinary topics such as twistor theory, magnetic monopoles, KP-equations, Einstein and Gibbons-Hawking metrics, and supercommutative algebras of superdifferential operators.;Providing a wide array of original research articles not published elsewhere Einstein Metrics and Yang-Mills Connections is for research mathematicians, including topologists and differential and algebraic geometers, theoretical physicists, and graudate-level students in these disciplines. Booknews Proceedings of the 27th Taniguchi International Symposium held in Sanda, Japan, in December 1990. Topics include proof of the Yamabe conjecture, stability of vector bundles on surfaces and curves, magnetic monopoles and topology, and Morse theory and Thom-Gysin exact sequence. Papers focus on the study of moduli spaces of various geometric objects such as Einstein metrics, conformal structures, and Yang-Mills connections from algebraic and analytic points of view. Current topics in Kahler geometry and a new Kahler version of Kawamata-Viehweg's vanishing theorem are also discussed. Annotation c.
