![Book cover: Holonomy Groups in Riemannian Geometry](images/8248.jpg)
by Andrew Clarke, Bianca Santoro - arXiv , 2012
The holonomy group is one of the fundamental analytical objects that one can define on a Riemannian manfold. These notes provide a first introduction to the main general ideas on the study of the holonomy groups of a Riemannian manifold.

![Book cover: Lectures on Geodesics in Riemannian Geometry](images/6950.jpg)
by M. Berger - Tata Institute of Fundamental Research , 1965
The main topic of these notes is geodesics. Our aim is to give a fairly complete treatment of the foundations of Riemannian geometry and to give global results for Riemannian manifolds which are subject to geometric conditions of various types.

![Book cover: Medians and Means in Riemannian Geometry: Existence, Uniqueness and Computation](images/blank.gif)
by M. Arnaudon, F. Barbaresco, L. Yang - arXiv , 2011
This paper is a short summary of our recent work on the medians and means of probability measures in Riemannian manifolds. The existence and uniqueness results of local medians are given. We propose a subgradient algorithm and prove its convergence.

![Book cover: A Sampler of Riemann-Finsler Geometry](images/3558.jpg)
by D. Bao, R. Bryant, S. Chern, Z. Shen - Cambridge University Press , 2004
Finsler geometry generalizes Riemannian geometry in the same sense that Banach spaces generalize Hilbert spaces. The contributors consider issues related to volume, geodesics, curvature, complex differential geometry, and parametrized jet bundles.
