Advances in Differential Geometry and General Relativity: The Beemfest, Advances in Differential Geometry and General Relativity on the Occasion of Professor John Beem's Retirement, May 10-11, 2003, University of Missouri-Columbia FROM THE PUBLISHER "This volume addresses the problems in differential geometry in general and in particular, global Lorentzian geometry, Finsler geometry, causal boundaries, Penrose's cosmic censorship hypothesis, the geometry of differential operators with variable coefficients in manifolds, and asymptotically de Sitter spacetimes satisfying Einstein's equations with positive cosmological constant." The book is suitable for graduate students and research mathematicians interested in differential geometry.
SYNOPSIS In these papers presented at the Beemfest (the May 2003 conference held at the U. of Missouri in honor of Professor John Beem), contributors include a Beemian sampler for the years 1966-2002. Other topics include the geometry of bi-characteristics, non-linear connections, the cosmic censorship hypothesis, the boundaries of space-time, and general relativity and signature change.
