Differential geometry and relativity : a volume in honour of André Lichnerowicz on his 60th birthday /
On the sixtieth birthday of Andre Lichnerowicz a number of his friends, students, and coworkers decided to celebrate this event by preparing a jubilee volume of contributed articles in the two main fields of research marked by Lichnerowicz's work: differential geometry and mathematical physics....
