book is about symmetries in Riemannian manifolds and, in particular, the space-time of Einstein's general relativity theory. Chapter 1 involves some algebraic preliminaries including the algebra of Minkowski space and its subspaces whilst Chapter 2 deals with manifolds and their attendant structures and also Lorentzian geometry. To prepare for the work on symmetries Chapter 3 deals with the Lie derivative and symmetry groups. Chapter 4 introduces general relativity theory and discusses the energy-momentum tensor, cosmological models, plane waves and other details of space-times. In Chapter 5 the book turns to a more detailed discussion of symmetries and, in particular, to Killing and affine vector fields whilst Chapter 6 deals with homothetic symmetry and the difficult topic of conformal vector fields and symmetry. In Chapter 7 projective symmetry (projective collineations) and the symmetry of the curvature tensor (curvature collineations) are covered together with Ricci collineations, whilst Chapter 8 treats a topic that the authors call ``symmetry inheritance''. The final Chapter 9 involves further symmetries arising from other geometrical structures on a manifold. There is a short appendix on the Petrov classification and an extensive bibliography. The reviewer's overall opinion of this book is that it is poor. Although quite a lot of material is covered, there is little positive he can say about it. It lacks structure and logical clarity and contains many errors. It is confused in many places and the lack of precision makes it difficult to understand. For example, in Chapter 3 the derivation of the Lie derivative and Killing's equations using approximations is old fashioned and misleading, Palais' theorem is discussed but largely ignored in the text, the definition of a static space-time is confused (pp. 46 and 73) and further confusion arises on pp. 48 and 49 (points A, B and C) one of which (B) seems to suggest that if 3 independent symmetry vector fields are admitted the orbits are necessarily 3-dimensional! In Chapter 4 (p. 77) it says that pp-waves are a special case of plane waves whereas the opposite is true. In Chapter 5 there is more confusion with affine symmetry (and in the last line of case (c) p. 96 given there ``two'' should be ``three''). In Chapter 7 (p. 146) the definition of ``class D'' is puzzling and on p. 152 result (1) is wrong as earlier examples in the book show. Theorem 7.34 on p. 155 has been misquoted. In Chapter 8 (in the section on sectional curvature) the crucial open submanifold (p. 170) of non-null 2-spaces at \\(p\\) is not defined. Finally the appendix on the Petrov classification is inadequate since it is frequently useful in discussing symmetries in general relativity and contains several mistakes. This list of mistakes is not complete -- there are more! In summary, and whilst the reviewer appreciates the difficulty of collecting together large quantites of scattered research material, he can only say that he was not impressed by the book. Apart from the points raised above, several important developments in the area of symmetries were ommitted and, in his opinion, other less important topics included. In particular, the material on ``symmetry inheritance'' seems to the reviewer to be of limited importance (and not much to do with things being inherited!) Yet fixed point theory and orbit theory were not dealt with in any significant way.","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q4699466$C04D4599-E810-411A-AE53-39EFDE3186A5","rank":"normal"}]},"sitelinks":{"mardi":{"site":"mardi","title":"Symmetries of spacetimes and Riemannian manifolds","badges":[],"url":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/wiki/Symmetries_of_spacetimes_and_Riemannian_manifolds"}}}}}
