Progress in mathematics is based on a thorough understanding of the mathematical objects under consideration. This book offers a collection of examples. It covers: Riemannian, symplectic, K*adahler, hyperK*adahler, as well as complex and quaternionic.
Progress in mathematics is based on a thorough understanding of the mathematical objects under consideration, and yet many textbooks and monographs proceed to discuss general statements and assume that the reader can and will provide the mathematical infrastructure of examples and counterexamples. This book makes a deliberate effort to correct this situation: it is a collection of examples. The following table of contents describes its breadth and reveals the underlying motivation--differential geometry--in its many facets: Riemannian, symplectic, K*adahler, hyperK*adahler, as well as complex and quaternionic.
