Immersions in Warped Product Spaces

This book offers a detailed exploration of the intrinsic geometrical properties of warped product spaces through the lens of mathematical analysis and global differential geometry. It touches upon key topics such as uniqueness results, height estimates, Riemannian immersions, and the geometrical behavior of submanifolds, while addressing complex phenomena that challenge traditional Euclidean assumptions. Divided into five comprehensive parts, the text provides clear refinements of recent findings, with connections to General Relativity and semi-Riemannian geometry.

Accessible yet thorough, this monograph is ideal for post-graduate students, researchers, and specialists across mathematics, geometry, and theoretical physics.

Focuses on Warped Product Spaces and their applications in Semi-Riemannian Geometry Explores connections to General Relativity, making the book relevant for in recent advances in physics and geometry Adopts a pedagogical approach by including background information and prioritizing clarity
