Submanifolds and Holonomy

Jürgen Berndt is a professor of mathematics at King’s College London. He is the author of two research monographs and more than 50 research articles. His research interests encompass geometrical problems with algebraic, analytic, or topological aspects, particularly the geometry of submanifolds, curvature of Riemannian manifolds, geometry of homogeneous manifolds, and Lie group actions on manifolds. He earned a PhD from the University of Cologne. Sergio Console (1965–2013) was a researcher in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Turin. He was the author or coauthor of more than 30 publications. His research focused on differential geometry and algebraic topology. Carlos Enrique Olmos is a professor of mathematics at the National University of Cordoba and principal researcher at the Argentine Research Council (CONICET). He is the author of more than 35 research articles. His research interests include Riemannian geometry, geometry of submanifolds, submanifolds, and holonomy. He earned a PhD from the National University of Cordoba.
