This book is meant to be a
monograph on Osserman manifolds and brings together a large number of results published by the author in this topic. In order for as many readers as possible to follow these results, the book also contains a
detailed introduction to
smooth manifolds, as well as the basics of
Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian geometry, and can be used as a
textbook for the course in differential geometry. The book can be divided into three imaginary parts:
Part I Smooth manifolds, consisting of chapters 1–4,
Part II Pseudo-Riemannian geometry, consisting of chapters 5–8, and
Part III Osserman manifolds, consisting of chapters 9–11.
