Holonomy Groups in Riemannian Geometry
by Andrew Clarke, Bianca Santoro
Publisher: arXiv 2012
Number of pages: 124
Description:
The holonomy group is one of the fundamental analytical objects that one can define on a Riemannian manfold. These notes provide a first introduction to the main general ideas on the study of the holonomy groups of a Riemannian manifold.
