Differential Geometry and Related Topics

The International Conference on Modern Mathematics and the International Symposium on Differential Geometry, held in honour of Professor Su Buchin on the centenary of his birth, were held in September 2001 at Fudan University, Shanghai, China. Around 100 mathematicians from China, France, Japan, Singapore and the United States participated. This volume of proceedings covers a broad spectrum of advanced topics in mathematics, especially in differential geometry, such as some problems of common interest in harmonic maps, submanifolds, the Yang-Mills field and the geometric theory of solitons.
