Publisher's Synopsis
This volume presents a collection of papers on geometric structures in the context of Hurwitz-type structures and applications to surface physics. The first part concentrates on the analysis of geometric structures. Topics covered are: Clifford structures, Hurwitz pair structures, Riemannian or Hermitian manifolds, Dirac and Breit operators, Penrose-type and Kaluza-Klein-type structures.;The second part contains a study of surface physics structures, in particular boundary conditions, broken symmetry and surface decorations, as well as nonlinear solutions and dynamical properties: a near surface region.;The work should be useful for mathematicians and mathematical physicists interested in the applications of mathematical structures.
