WHAT IS GEOMETRY?
It is intended to collect here short expository articles on geometry, directed towards advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students, in order to provide information on current research topics.
In each case the author owns the copyright to the article. Articles may be downloaded for personal use, but further distribution should not be undertaken without the permission of the author.
Articles will be maintained as an informal collection, and modifications/withdrawals will be permitted at any time. See below for submission instructions.
