VIII International Colloquium on Differential Geometry
Santiago de Compostela, 7-11 July 2008
Third Colloquium

Held from 18 to 21 of October, 1972, this third Colloquium represents a great leap forward with respect to its conception and their participants. There were 43 participants, coming from 5 different countries (France, Great Britain, Italy, Spain and United States).

For the first time there were 9 plenary lectures by invitation, and the invited lecturers were R. Bott (USA), C. Godbillon (France), A. Lichnerowicz (France), R. Lutz (France), G. Reeb (France), B. L.Reinhart (USA), D.C. Spencer (USA), R. Thom (France) and T.J. Willmore (Great Britain).

The proceedings of this Colloquium were published in the Springer-Verlag series “Lecture Notes in Mathematics”, this being the first time that this series published the proceedings of an event like this celebrated in Spain. A total of 22 conferences and/or communications are collected in this proceedings. The reference of this publication is the following:
