hough geometric analysis has a long history, the decisive contributions of Yau since 1970s have made it an indispensable tool in many subjects such as differential geometry, topology, algebraic geometry, mathematical physics, etc, and hence have established it as one of the most important fields of modern mathematics.Yau's impacts are clearly visible in the papers of these two volumes, and we hope that these two volumes of Geometry and Analysis and the three volumes of the Handbook of Geometric Analysis will pay a proper tribute to him in a modest way.
According to the Chinese tradition, a person is one year old when he is born, and hence Yau turned 60 already in 2008. The number 60 and hence the age 60 is special in many cultures, especially in the Chinese culture. It is the smallest common multiple of 10 and 12, two important periods in the Chinese astronomy. Therefore, it is a new starting point (or a new cycle). A quick look at Yau's list of publications in Part 1 shows that Yau has not only maintained but increased his incredible output both in terms of quality and quantity.

好的,这是一份关于其他数学领域专著的详细简介,旨在避免提及《几何与分析(第1卷)》的内容,并以专业、详实的风格呈现。 --- 深入探索数学前沿:微分拓扑与黎曼几何的精妙结合 《流形上的几何结构与动力系统:理论构建与应用探析》 本书聚焦于现代微分几何与拓扑学的前沿交叉领域,系统阐述了流形上的度量结构、曲率理论,以及这些几何概念如何深刻地影响和揭示动力系统的长期行为。本书旨在为高年级本科生、研究生以及相关研究人员提供一个深入理解几何与分析如何相互作用的坚实基础。 第一部分:微分拓扑基础与光滑结构 本书的第一部分首先奠定坚实的拓扑与微分拓扑学基础。我们从一般拓扑空间的概念出发,逐步过渡到光滑流形的定义,详细讨论了切丛、余切丛以及向量丛的构造。重点章节深入探讨了微分形式的代数结构(如楔积),以及微分流形上的外微分运算($d$算子)及其核心性质,特别是De Rham上同调理论。 本部分对浸入、淹没和横截性的讨论尤为详尽。通过对嵌入定理的严格证明,我们展示了光滑结构如何允许我们将抽象的拓扑空间映射到欧几里得空间中进行局部研究。此外,本书还详细考察了李群和李代数在几何中的作用,特别是作为保持流形结构(如等距变换群)的对称性工具。 关键概念深度剖析: 流形的分类与嵌入: 介绍Whitney嵌入定理和Smale的拓扑稳定性和可展性概念。 向量丛上的联络: 阐述切丛上的仿(仿射)联络的概念,定义黎曼联络的特殊性,以及曲率张量的产生机制。 第二部分:黎曼几何的核心理论 第二部分是本书的几何核心,完全致力于黎曼几何。我们从定义一个黎曼度量开始,精确地引入了Levi-Civita联络的唯一性及其构造。重点在于理解曲率的概念如何从欧几里得空间的平坦几何推广到弯曲空间。 测地线理论是本部分的核心主题之一。本书严格推导了测地线的变分性质,并利用这些性质引入指数映射。通过对指数映射的详细分析,我们建立了流形上局部坐标系和邻域结构之间的桥梁。此外,本书深入探讨了卡坦-阿达马德(Cartan-Hadamard)定理及其在零曲率和负曲率流形上的推论。 空间曲率的深化研究: 截面曲率与Ricci曲率: 对这些关键几何不变量进行了细致的计算和几何解释。特别关注Ricci曲率在线性化的引力理论和物质分布中的意义。 共边际、共形变换与Killing向量场: 详细分析了在保持度量结构不变的情况下允许的变换,特别关注Killing向量场在定义流形的对称性(等距运动)方面的关键作用。 极小曲面与极值原理: 引入了面积泛函,探讨了极小曲面作为该泛函的临界点,并通过Dirichlet能量等概念将分析工具引入到几何问题的研究中。 第三部分:几何与动力系统的交汇 本书的第三部分将前两部分建立的微分几何框架应用于动力系统的几何结构分析。我们不再将动力系统视为纯粹的常微分方程解的集合,而是将其视为作用在流形上的向量场。 拓扑动力学基础: 向量场与流: 定义流形上的向量场,并严格证明流的存在性和唯一性,引入庞加莱截面和李雅普诺夫指数的概念。 可积性与守恒量: 考察在黎曼度量下,向量场保持能量(Hamiltonian)的条件,探讨可积系统的几何特征,特别是Liouville可积性的结构。 曲率对混沌行为的影响: 本书的独特视角在于如何利用曲率信息来预测动力系统的长期稳定性或混沌性。 1. 负曲率与混沌(Chaos): 详细分析了Pesin的熵公式在具有恒定负截面曲率的流形上的表现,揭示了负曲率如何自然地产生指数分离和混沌行为。 2. 杨-米尔斯理论的几何背景(选讲): 简要介绍将黎曼几何扩展到纤维丛上的概念,侧重于规范联络和规范场方程的几何起源,这为理解粒子物理中的几何结构提供了分析框架。 3. 测地流的稳定性: 分析了在曲率不为零的流形上,测地流(Geodesic Flow)的性质。在正曲率下观察到轨道的收敛,而在负曲率下观察到轨道的剧烈分离,这是连接几何结构与动力学稳定性的直接桥梁。 总结与展望 《流形上的几何结构与动力系统》不仅是对经典几何理论的严谨回顾,更是对现代数学研究方向的一次有力展望。本书通过将拓扑的定性分析、黎曼几何的度量工具以及动力系统的演化视角相结合,提供了一个强大的多学科分析平台。读者将能够掌握如何利用曲率等内在几何量来精确描述和预测复杂系统的行为模式。本书的丰富例题和详细的证明过程,确保了其作为高级参考书的价值。 ---
