A Perspective on Canonical Riemannian Metrics
This book focuses on a selection of special topics, with emphasis on past and present research of the authors on “canonical” Riemannian metrics on smooth manifolds. On the backdrop of the fundamental contributions given by many experts in the field, the volume offers a self-contained view of the wide class of “Curvature Conditions” and “Critical Metrics” of suitable Riemannian functionals. The authors describe the classical examples and the relevant generalizations. This monograph is the winner of the 2020 Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer Prize, a prestigious award for books of expository nature presenting the latest developments in an active area of research in mathematics.
Suprematism in Harmonic Analysis
This award-winning monograph explores advanced topics in harmonic analysis, addressing both classical and contemporary problems. Several connections to number theory, crystallography or atomic theory are also surveyed. The term “suprematism” refers to a certain geometric point of view underlying proofs and arguments. The opening of the book is dedicated to a few results, with short statements and proofs, that could be called “mathematical haikus”. Then, in the first part of the book, singular integrals beyond the classical Calderón-Zygmund theory, such as Vitali-type covering lemmas and estimates for the corresponding maximal operators, are explored. The exponential overlapping of parallelepipeds, the strong maximal function, and Zygmund's conjecture about monotonic bases are also covered. The core of this part is devoted to the Kakeya maximal function and its relation to the spherical summation of Fourier series and integrals. The two-dimensional case is well understood, but the case of higher dimensions still presents many open problems and conjectures. The chapters in the second part of the book treat questions at the interface of harmonic analysis and number theory, including applications of the Poisson summation formula to crystallography and arithmetic, estimates of the Minkowski dimension of Riemann graphs, random lattice point problems, and the role of Weyl sums in atomic energy oscillations. With a focus on rigorous research insights for graduate students and researchers in mathematics, this book provides a comprehensive journey through the hidden landscapes of harmonic analysis.
A Panoramic View of Riemannian Geometry

Release Date: 2012-12-06
Riemannian geometry has today become a vast and important subject. This new book of Marcel Berger sets out to introduce readers to most of the living topics of the field and convey them quickly to the main results known to date. These results are stated without detailed proofs but the main ideas involved are described and motivated. This enables the reader to obtain a sweeping panoramic view of almost the entirety of the field. However, since a Riemannian manifold is, even initially, a subtle object, appealing to highly non-natural concepts, the first three chapters devote themselves to introducing the various concepts and tools of Riemannian geometry in the most natural and motivating way, following in particular Gauss and Riemann.
