Over the last three decades, the improvement in human nutrition and health in Asia has largely been attributable to a relatively stable and affordable rice supply. The challenge to produce enough rice for the future, however, remains daunting, as the current rate of population growth outpaces that of increases in rice production. Science has a central role to play in raising rice productivity and this book highlights areas of plant science that are particularly relevant to solving the major constraints on rice production.

Kaplan, and Damek-Ricci harmonic spaces are particularly nice Lie groups with a vast spectrum of properties and applications. These harmonic spaces are homogeneous Hadamard manifolds containing the H-type groups as horospheres. These notes contain a thorough study of their Riemannian geometry by means of a detailed treatment of their Jacobi vector fields and Jacobi operators. Some problems are included and will hopefully stimulate further research on these spaces. The book is written for students and researchers, assuming only basic knowledge of Riemannian geometry, and it contains a brief survey of the background material needed to follow the entire treatment.Lecture Notes in Mathematics,0075-8434 ;1598Riemannian manifoldsGlobal differential geometryGeometry, RiemannianRiemannian manifolds.Global differential geometry.Geometry, Riemannian.51053C25msc22E25mscBerndt Jürgen1959-350863Vanhecke L.Tricerri F(Franco),1947-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996466374603316Generalized Heisenberg groups and Damek-Ricci harmonic spaces375535UNISA
