Book DetailsContemporary MathematicsVolume: 49; 1986; 184 ppMSC: Primary 58; Secondary 32; 53
This collection of survey articles and research papers focuses on some of the most fruitful methods and ideas in the recently very active field of complex differential geometry and nonlinear differential equations. The topics found in this 1984 Summer Research Conference Proceedings include the local embedding of Cauchy-Riemann structures, minimal varieties, harmonic maps, Chern number inequalities for singular Kähler surfaces, the spectrum of the Laplacian for Kähler manifolds, foliations, vanishing theorems, and complex Finsler metrics.
Papers of particular note include Mok's survey on foliation techniques and vanishing theorems, a succinct account of one of the most important methods in several complex variables which has recently produced some very good results, and the research articles by Cheng-Yau and Sampson, which contain highly significant new results.
Both researchers and graduate students in the fields of several complex variables, differential geometry, and partial differential equations will find this material especially useful.
