Book cover: Riemannian GeometryRiemannian Geometry
by - 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.

Book cover: Holonomy Groups in Riemannian GeometryHolonomy Groups in Riemannian Geometry
by - arXiv ,
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.

Book cover: Lectures on Geodesics in Riemannian GeometryLectures on Geodesics in Riemannian Geometry
by - Tata Institute of Fundamental Research ,
The main topic of these notes is geodesics. Our aim is to give a fairly complete treatment of the foundations of Riemannian geometry and to give global results for Riemannian manifolds which are subject to geometric conditions of various types.

Book cover: Medians and Means in Riemannian Geometry: Existence, Uniqueness and ComputationMedians and Means in Riemannian Geometry: Existence, Uniqueness and Computation
by - 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.
