Riemannian Geometry of Contact and Symplectic Manifolds
David E. Blair
<p>This second edition, divided into fourteen chapters, presents a comprehensive treatment of contact and symplectic manifolds from the Riemannian point of view. The monograph examines the basic ideas in detail and provides many illustrative examples for the reader.</p><p><i>Riemannian Geometry of Contact and Symplectic Manifolds, Second Edition</i> provides new material in most chapters, but a particular emphasis remains on contact manifolds. Researchers, mathematicians, and graduate students in contact and symplectic manifold theory and in Riemannian geometry will benefit from this work. A basic course in Riemannian geometry is a prerequisite.</p>
