    AMS/IP Studies in Advanced Mathematics
    Volume: 51997; 342 pp
    MSC: Primary 14; 16; 32; 53; 57; 58

    This book represents the proceedings of the joint U.S.-China Seminar on Singularity and Complex Geometry held at the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy, Beijing, in June 1994. This was the first gathering of Chinese and American mathematicians working in these fields (several Japanese mathematicians also took part). The volume covers a wide range of problems in areas such as CR-manifolds, value distribution theory of holomorphic curves, topology of the complements of algebraic plane curves with singularities and arrangements, topology of non-isolated singularities, gauge theory on resolutions of simple singularities, and residues of foliations. The articles give accounts of research in these fast developing areas. Much of the material appears here for the first time in print.

    Titles in this series are co-published with International Press of Boston, Inc., Cambridge, MA.
