The Ambient Metric (AM-178) /

Afficher d'autres versions (1)

This book develops and applies a theory of the ambient metric in conformal geometry. This is a Lorentz metric in n+2 dimensions that encodes a conformal class of metrics in n dimensions. The ambient metric has an alternate incarnation as the Poincare metric, a metric in n+1 dimensions having the con...
