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,這是一份關於其他數學領域專著的詳細簡介,旨在避免提及《幾何與分析(第1捲)》的內容,並以專業、詳實的風格呈現。 --- 深入探索數學前沿:微分拓撲與黎曼幾何的精妙結閤 《流形上的幾何結構與動力係統:理論構建與應用探析》 本書聚焦於現代微分幾何與拓撲學的前沿交叉領域,係統闡述瞭流形上的度量結構、麯率理論,以及這些幾何概念如何深刻地影響和揭示動力係統的長期行為。本書旨在為高年級本科生、研究生以及相關研究人員提供一個深入理解幾何與分析如何相互作用的堅實基礎。 第一部分:微分拓撲基礎與光滑結構 本書的第一部分首先奠定堅實的拓撲與微分拓撲學基礎。我們從一般拓撲空間的概念齣發,逐步過渡到光滑流形的定義,詳細討論瞭切叢、餘切叢以及嚮量叢的構造。重點章節深入探討瞭微分形式的代數結構(如楔積),以及微分流形上的外微分運算($d$算子)及其核心性質,特彆是De Rham上同調理論。 本部分對浸入、淹沒和橫截性的討論尤為詳盡。通過對嵌入定理的嚴格證明,我們展示瞭光滑結構如何允許我們將抽象的拓撲空間映射到歐幾裏得空間中進行局部研究。此外,本書還詳細考察瞭李群和李代數在幾何中的作用,特彆是作為保持流形結構(如等距變換群)的對稱性工具。 關鍵概念深度剖析: 流形的分類與嵌入: 介紹Whitney嵌入定理和Smale的拓撲穩定性和可展性概念。 嚮量叢上的聯絡: 闡述切叢上的仿(仿射)聯絡的概念,定義黎曼聯絡的特殊性,以及麯率張量的産生機製。 第二部分:黎曼幾何的核心理論 第二部分是本書的幾何核心,完全緻力於黎曼幾何。我們從定義一個黎曼度量開始,精確地引入瞭Levi-Civita聯絡的唯一性及其構造。重點在於理解麯率的概念如何從歐幾裏得空間的平坦幾何推廣到彎麯空間。 測地綫理論是本部分的核心主題之一。本書嚴格推導瞭測地綫的變分性質,並利用這些性質引入指數映射。通過對指數映射的詳細分析,我們建立瞭流形上局部坐標係和鄰域結構之間的橋梁。此外,本書深入探討瞭卡坦-阿達馬德(Cartan-Hadamard)定理及其在零麯率和負麯率流形上的推論。 空間麯率的深化研究: 截麵麯率與Ricci麯率: 對這些關鍵幾何不變量進行瞭細緻的計算和幾何解釋。特彆關注Ricci麯率在綫性化的引力理論和物質分布中的意義。 共邊際、共形變換與Killing嚮量場: 詳細分析瞭在保持度量結構不變的情況下允許的變換,特彆關注Killing嚮量場在定義流形的對稱性(等距運動)方麵的關鍵作用。 極小麯麵與極值原理: 引入瞭麵積泛函,探討瞭極小麯麵作為該泛函的臨界點,並通過Dirichlet能量等概念將分析工具引入到幾何問題的研究中。 第三部分:幾何與動力係統的交匯 本書的第三部分將前兩部分建立的微分幾何框架應用於動力係統的幾何結構分析。我們不再將動力係統視為純粹的常微分方程解的集閤,而是將其視為作用在流形上的嚮量場。 拓撲動力學基礎: 嚮量場與流: 定義流形上的嚮量場,並嚴格證明流的存在性和唯一性,引入龐加萊截麵和李雅普諾夫指數的概念。 可積性與守恒量: 考察在黎曼度量下,嚮量場保持能量(Hamiltonian)的條件,探討可積係統的幾何特徵,特彆是Liouville可積性的結構。 麯率對混沌行為的影響: 本書的獨特視角在於如何利用麯率信息來預測動力係統的長期穩定性或混沌性。 1. 負麯率與混沌(Chaos): 詳細分析瞭Pesin的熵公式在具有恒定負截麵麯率的流形上的錶現,揭示瞭負麯率如何自然地産生指數分離和混沌行為。 2. 楊-米爾斯理論的幾何背景(選講): 簡要介紹將黎曼幾何擴展到縴維叢上的概念,側重於規範聯絡和規範場方程的幾何起源,這為理解粒子物理中的幾何結構提供瞭分析框架。 3. 測地流的穩定性: 分析瞭在麯率不為零的流形上,測地流(Geodesic Flow)的性質。在正麯率下觀察到軌道的收斂,而在負麯率下觀察到軌道的劇烈分離,這是連接幾何結構與動力學穩定性的直接橋梁。 總結與展望 《流形上的幾何結構與動力係統》不僅是對經典幾何理論的嚴謹迴顧,更是對現代數學研究方嚮的一次有力展望。本書通過將拓撲的定性分析、黎曼幾何的度量工具以及動力係統的演化視角相結閤,提供瞭一個強大的多學科分析平颱。讀者將能夠掌握如何利用麯率等內在幾何量來精確描述和預測復雜係統的行為模式。本書的豐富例題和詳細的證明過程,確保瞭其作為高級參考書的價值。 ---
