Nine Lectures on Exterior Differential Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Informal notes for a series of lectures delivered 12–23 July 1999 at the Graduate Summer Workshop on Exterior Differential Systems at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, CA. N.B.: This version of the notes has incorporated various minor corrections kindly pointed out to me by students and others up to the date of March 16, 2013. It is still incomplete, since I have not (yet) written up the end of Lecture 8 (nor Lecture 9 at all).

Lectures in Discrete Differential Geometry 1 – Plane Curves
The classic theory of differential geometry concerns itself with smooth curves and surfaces. In practice, however, our experiments can only measure a finite amount of data, and our simulations can only resolve a finite amount of detail. Discrete differential geometry (DDG) studies discrete counterparts of classical differential geometry that are applicable in this discrete setting, and converge...
متن کاملNotes on Exterior Differential Systems
These are notes for a very rapid introduction to the basics of exterior differential systems and their connection with what is now known as Lie theory, together with some typical and not-so-typical applications to illustrate their use.
متن کاملExterior Differential Systems with Symmetry
We use the theory of reduction of exterior differential systems with symmetry to study the problem of using a symmetry group of a differential equation to find non-invariant solutions.
متن کاملEvolutionary Forms: the Generation of Differential-geometrical Structures. (symmetries and Conservation Laws.)
Evolutionary forms, as well as exterior forms, are skew-symmetric differential forms. But in contrast to the exterior forms, the basis of evolutionary forms is deforming manifolds (manifolds with unclosed metric forms). Such forms possess a peculiarity, namely, the closed inexact exterior forms are obtained from that. The closure conditions of inexact exterior form (vanishing the differentials ...
متن کاملQualitative investigation of Hamiltonian systems by application of skew-symmetric differential forms
A great number of works is devoted to qualitative investigation of Hamiltonian systems. One of tools of such investigation is the method of skew-symmetric differential forms [1-3]. In present work, under investigation Hamiltonian systems in addition to skew-symmetric exterior differential forms, skew-symmetric differential forms, which differ in their properties from exterior forms, are used. T...
