Summary
Unveiling the Secrets of Compact Manifolds with Special Holonomy
The journey begins with a comprehensive exploration of connections and holonomy groups, navigating the landscapes of Riemannian, complex, and Kähler geometry. We then embark on a proof of the Calabi conjecture, wielding its power to unveil the existence of compact manifolds adorned with SU(m) (Calabi-Yau manifolds) and Sp(m) (hyperkähler manifolds) holonomy. These structures are meticulously constructed and examined th…

What They're Saying
Critics Review
The book is written in a very clear and understandable way, with careful explanation of the main ideas and many remarks and comments, and it includes systematic suggestions for further reading … It can be warmly recommended to mathematicians (in geometry and global analysis, in particular) as well as to physicists interested in string theory. EMS The first part is a very effective introduction to basic notions and results of modern differential geometry … This book is highly recommended for people who are interested in the very recent developments of differential geometry and its relationships with present research in theoretical physics.
