Well-known examples of such operators are the Yamabe-, the Paneitz-, the Dirac- and the twistor operator. The aim of the seminar was to present the basic ideas and some of the recent developments around Q-curvature and conformal holonomy. The part on Q-curvature discusses its origin, its relevance in geometry, spectral theory and physics. Here the influence of ideas which have their origin in the AdS\/CFT-correspondence becomes visible. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe part on conformal holonomy describes recent classification results, its relation to Einstein metrics and to conformal Killing spinors, and related special geometries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Birkhäuser\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-01-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783764399085\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-7643-9909-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x170cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 152\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Birkhäuser Basel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47381107376268,"sku":"9783764399085","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783764399085.jpg?v=1775743420","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783764399085","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
