The various contributions in this volume cover a broad range of topics in metric and differential geometry, including metric spaces, Ricci flow, Einstein manifolds, Khler geometry, index theory, and hypoelliptic Laplacian and analytic torsion. The book includes papers on the most recent advances as well as survey articles on new developments. Contributors: M.T. Anderson J.-M. Bismut X. Chen X. Dai R. Harvey P. Koskela B. Lawson X. Ma R.
