A publication of the Mathematical Society of Japan
The 1998–1999 program year of the Japan-U.S. Mathematics
Institute at the Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD) was devoted
to minimal surfaces, geometric analysis, and symplectic geometry. The
program culminated in a week-long workshop and conference to discuss
recent developments.
This volume is a collection of articles written by the speakers. It presents
extended or modified versions of the lectures delivered at the meeting. Each
article provides a vivid account of current research. The information given
ranges from introductory-level to the most recent results. Of special interest
is a long survey article by K. Fukaya on applications of Floer homology to
mirror symmetry. Also discussed are new developments on the geometry of
constant mean curvature one surfaces in hyperbolic 3-spaces of finite total
curvature.
The range of topics covered in the volume provides direction for
further research in these rapidly developing areas. The book is
suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in
differential and symplectic geometry.
Published for the Mathematical Society of Japan by Kinokuniya, Tokyo, and distributed worldwide, except in Japan, by the AMS.
Volumes in this series are freely available electronically 5 years post-publication.
