“2000, Boris N. Apanasov, Conformal Geometry of Discrete Groups and Manifolds, Walther de Gruyter, page vii, Generally, conformal geometries naturally appear at infinity for negatively curved Riemannian geometries. Moreover, due to M. Gromov's [5, 6] geometric approach to infinite groups, conformal geometry invents new fruitful methods in combinatorial group theory.”

“The lectures concerned the study of some non-linear partial differential equations related to curvature invariants in conformal geometry.”

“This chapter gives a brief introduction of the basic theoretic foundations and profound and beautiful structures of conformal geometry.”
