The geometry of Walker manifolds

This book, which focuses on the study of curvature, is an introduction to various aspects of pseudo- Riemannian geometry. We shall use Walker manifolds (pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which admit a non-trivial parallel null plane field) to exemplify some of the main differences between the geometry of...
