Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This invaluable book contains selected papers of Prof Chuan-Chih Hsiung, renowned mathematician in differential geometry and founder and editor-in-chief of a unique international journal in this field, the Journal of Differential Geometry . During the period of 1935OCo1943, Prof Hsiung was in China working on projective differential geometry under Prof Buchin Su. In 1946, he went to the United States, where he gradually shifted to global problems. Altogether Prof Hsiung has published about 100 research papers, from which he has selected 64 (in chronological order) for this volume. Contents: Projective Differential Geometry of a Pair of Plane Curves; A Projective Invariant of a Certain Pair of Surfaces; Affine Invariants of a Pair of Hypersurfaces; A Theorem on Surfaces with a Closed Boundary; Some Uniqueness Theorem on Riemannian Manifolds with Boundary; On the Group of Conformal Transformations of a Compact Riemannian Manifold; Minimal Immersions in Riemannian Spheres; A Remark on Pinched Manifolds with Boundary; Nonexistence of a Complex Structure on the Six-Sphere; Some Conditions for a Complex Structure; and other papers. Readership: Researchers in differential geometry."
