Geometry and Analysis on Manifolds: Proceedings of the 21st International Taniguchi Symposium held at Katata, Japan, Aug. 23-29 and the Conference held at Kyoto, Aug. 31 – Sep. 2, 1987

The Taniguchi Symposium on global analysis on manifolds focused mainly on the relationships between some geometric structures of manifolds and analysis, especially spectral analysis on noncompact manifolds. Included in the present volume are expanded versions of most of the invited lectures. In these original research articles, the reader will find up-to date accounts of the subject.
