Four-Dimensional Manifolds and Projective Structure

Four-Dimensional Manifolds and Projective Structure may be considered first as an introduction to differential geometry and, in particular, to 4−dimensional manifolds, and secondly as an introduction to the study of projective structure and projective relatedness in manifolds. The initial chapters mainly cover the elementary aspects of set theory, linear algebra, topology, Euclidean geometry, manifold theory and differential geometry, including the idea of a metric and a connection on a manifold a
