編輯手記
本書是一部英文版的學術專著,中文書名可譯為《拉格朗日幾何和哈密頓幾何:力學的應用》。本書的一個研究對像是拉杜·米龍首創的,如果說相近的,可能是Kahler流形。在當代數學的研究中,復流形的幾何變得越來越重要了,特別是Kahler流形,所謂的Kahler流形是一個具有在典型復結構的作用下不變的黎曼度量的復流形,同時它的典型復結構在相應的黎曼聯絡下又是平行的。因此,Kahler流形是一類特殊的黎曼流形,具有更加豐富的幾何結構,從而具有更加豐富多彩的幾何性質。當然,Kahler流形可以從代數幾何的角度進行研究,而且它是代數幾何的主角,但是從微分幾何的角度來了解它的幾何結構和特征是十分重要的,也是研究Kahler流形的基礎。
