Introduction to Möbius Differential Geometry

by Udo Hertrich-Jeromin

This book introduces the reader to the geometry of surfaces and submanifolds in the conformal n-sphere. Various models for M?bius geometry are presented: the classical projective model, the quaternionic approach, and an approach that uses the Clifford algebra of the space of homogeneous coordinates of the classical model; the use of 2-by-2 matrices in this context is elaborated. For each model in turn applications are discussed. Topics comprise conformally...
