Geometry and Spectra of Compact Riemann Surfaces

Download or read book Geometry and Spectra of Compact Riemann Surfaces written by Peter Buser and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-29 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is a self-contained introduction to the geometry of Riemann Surfaces of constant curvature –1 and their length and eigenvalue spectra. It focuses on two subjects: the geometric theory of compact Riemann surfaces of genus greater than one, and the relationship of the Laplace operator with the geometry of such surfaces. Research workers and graduate students interested in compact Riemann surfaces will find here a number of useful tools and insights to apply to their investigations.
