Differential Geometry
Differential geometry is a mathematical discipline that studies the geometry of smooth shapes and smooth spaces, otherwise known as smooth manifolds. It uses the techniques of differential calculus, integral calculus, linear algebra and multilinear algebra. The field has its origins in the study of spherical geometry as far back as antiquity. It also relates to astronomy, the geodesy of the Earth, and later the study of hyperbolic geometry by Lobachevsky. The simplest examples of smooth spaces are the plane and space curves and surfaces in the three-dimensional Euclidean space, and the study of these shapes formed the basis for development of modern differential geometry during the 18th and 19th centuries. Since the late 19th century, differential geometry has grown into a field concerned more generally with geometric structures on differentiable manifolds. A geometric structure is one which defines some notion of size, distance, shape, volume, or other rigidifying st ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

University Of Belgrade
The University of Belgrade ( sr, / ) is a public university in Serbia. It is the oldest and largest modern university in Serbia. Founded in 1808 as the Belgrade Higher School in revolutionary Serbia, by 1838 it merged with the Kragujevac-based departments into a single university. The university has around 97,700 enrolled students and over 4,800 academic staff members. Since its founding, the university has educated more than 378,000 bachelors, around 25,100 magisters, 29,000 specialists and 14,670 doctors. The university comprises 31 faculties, 12 research institutes, the university library, and 9 university centres. The faculties are organized into four groups: social sciences and humanities; medical sciences; natural sciences and mathematics; and technological sciences. On the prestigious ''Shanghai Ranking'' (ARWU), the University of Belgrade ranks between 401st and 500th place, according to the most recent (2018) global ranking. In 2014, it ranked 151–200, specifi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Transformation Group
In mathematics, the automorphism group of an object ''X'' is the group consisting of automorphisms of ''X'' under composition of morphisms. For example, if ''X'' is a finite-dimensional vector space, then the automorphism group of ''X'' is the group of invertible linear transformations from ''X'' to itself (the general linear group of ''X''). If instead ''X'' is a group, then its automorphism group \operatorname(X) is the group consisting of all group automorphisms of ''X''. Especially in geometric contexts, an automorphism group is also called a symmetry group. A subgroup of an automorphism group is sometimes called a transformation group. Automorphism groups are studied in a general way in the field of category theory. Examples If ''X'' is a set with no additional structure, then any bijection from ''X'' to itself is an automorphism, and hence the automorphism group of ''X'' in this case is precisely the symmetric group of ''X''. If the set ''X'' has additional structure ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Almost-contact Manifold
In the mathematical field of differential geometry, an almost-contact structure is a certain kind of geometric structure on a smooth manifold. Such structures were introduced by Shigeo Sasaki in 1960. Precisely, given a smooth manifold M, an almost-contact structure consists of a hyperplane distribution Q, an almost-complex structure J on Q,and a vector field \xi which is transverse to Q. That is, for each point p of M, one selects a codimension-one linear subspace Q_p of the tangent space T_p M, a linear map J_p : Q_p \to Q_p such that J_p \circ J_p = - \operatorname_, and an element \xi_p of T_p M which is not contained in Q_p. Given such data, one can define, for each p in M, a linear map \eta_p : T_p M \to \R and a linear map \varphi_p : T_p M \to T_p M by \begin \eta_p(u)&=0\textu\in Q_p\\ \eta_p(\xi_p)&=1\\ \varphi_p(u)&=J_p(u)\textu\in Q_p\\ \varphi_p(\xi)&=0. \end This defines a one-form \eta and (1,1)-tensor field \varphi on M, and one can check directly, by decompos ...

Mileva Prvanović
Mileva Prvanović (born July 16, 1929 - 2016) was a Serbian differential geometer. She is a retired professor of mathematics at the University of Novi Sad and a member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. Education and career Prvanović was born in Knjaževac on July 16, 1929, the daughter of mathematics professor Stanko Prvanović (1904–1982). After studying at the University of Belgrade, she earned a doctorate in 1955 from the University of Zagreb under the supervision of Danilo Blanuša, with a dissertation concerning differential geometry. In doing so, she became the first student in Serbia to earn a doctorate in geometry. While completing her doctorate, she worked as a teaching assistant at the Serbian Academy of Sciences. Then, she joined the mathematics department at Novi Sad as an assistant professor. She was promoted to docent in 1957, associate professor in 1962, and full professor in 1967. She retired in 1993. As well as her professorial duties, she also served ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
