An Introduction to Riemannian Geometry
by Sigmundur Gudmundsson
Publisher: Lund University 2010
Number of pages: 106
Description:
The main purpose of these lecture notes is to introduce the beautiful theory of Riemannian Geometry, a still very active area of mathematical research. This is a subject with no lack of interesting examples. They are indeed the key to a good understanding of it and will therefore play a major role throughout this work. Of special interest are the classical Lie groups allowing concrete calculations of many of the abstract notions on the menu.

Medians and Means in Riemannian Geometry: Existence, Uniqueness and Computationby M. Arnaudon, F. Barbaresco, L. Yang - arXiv
This paper is a short summary of our recent work on the medians and means of probability measures in Riemannian manifolds. The existence and uniqueness results of local medians are given. We propose a subgradient algorithm and prove its convergence.

Riemannian Geometryby Richard L. Bishop - arXiv
These notes on Riemannian geometry use the bases bundle and frame bundle, as in Geometry of Manifolds, to express the geometric structures. It starts with the definition of Riemannian and semi-Riemannian structures on manifolds.
