Projective differential geometry old and new from Schwarzian derivative to cohomology of diffeomorphism groups

Projective differential geometry old and new from Schwarzian derivative to cohomology of diffeomorphism groups

Projective differential geometry old and new from Schwarzian derivative to cohomology of diffeomorphism groups

This book is addressed to the reader who wishes to cover a greater distance in a short time and arrive at the front line of contemporary research. This book can serve as a basis for graduate topics courses. Exercises play a prominent role while historical and cultural comments relate the subject to a broader mathematical context.
