This volume presents advanced research in differential geometry and global analysis, focusing on the interplay between these two fields. The proceedings collect papers delivered at a colloquium held in Berlin in 1979, featuring contributions from leading mathematicians. The topics explored include geometric structures, topological properties of manifolds, and analytical methods applied to geometric problems, reflecting the state of the art in these specialized areas of mathematics.

This collection of papers is aimed at researchers and advanced students in mathematics, specifically those specializing in differential geometry and global analysis. The technical nature of the contributions suggests a readership familiar with advanced mathematical concepts. The inclusion of papers in both English and German indicates an international scope for the colloquium and its published proceedings.
