Klappentext zu „An Alternative Approach to Lie Groups and Geometric Structures “
This book presents a new and innovative approach to Lie groups and differential geometry. Rather than compiling and reviewing the existing material on this classical subject, Professor Ortaçgil instead questions the foundations of the subject, and proposes a new direction. Aimed at the curious and courageous mathematician, this book aims to provoke further debate and inspire further development of this original research.

Autoren-Porträt von Ercüment Ortaçgil
Professor Ercüment Ortaçgil received his PhD from Johns Hopkins University in 1985, and then returned home to Turkey to join the mathematics department at Bogazici University, Istanbul. He retired in 2011, and set his mind to the writing this book to inspire further research on the seemingly elementary problems that have enamoured him throughout his career. Bibliographische Angaben

Pressezitat
In this very nice and unusual book, the author proposes an alternative approach to the theory of Lie groups, together with some applications and generalization of it. The approach proposed is inspired by the geometric theory of partial differential equations (PDEs) and Lie pseudogroups. In this respect, it is much closer in spirit to the original works of Lie and Klein than the current modern theory...The book is suitable for students at a master's level. Luca Vitagliano, American Mathematical Society
