Title: Space forms Author: Marián Poppr Institute: Mathematical Institute of Charles University Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Svatopluk Krýsl, Ph.D., Mathematical Institute of Char- les University Abstract: In the presented thesis, we focus on foundations of Riemannian geome- try. We are concerned with the problematics of the existence and uniqueness of metrics and connections on smooth manifolds. We explore the exponential map as a tool for a study of space forms - complete manifolds with constant secti- onal curvature. Using Jacobi fields we are going to prove the local case of the Killing-Hopf theorem, which describes isometries between space forms. Keywords: Riemannian manifolds, sectional curvature, Jacobi field, Killing-Hopf theorem. 1
