Differential Geometry and Relativity A Volume in Honour of André Lichnerowicz on His 60th Birthday
On the occasion of the sixtieth birthday of Andre Lichnerowicz a number of his friends, many of whom have been his students or coworkers, decided to celebrate this event by preparing a jubilee volume of contributed articles in the two main fields of research marked by Lichnerowicz's work, namel...
