Analysis, Complex Geometry, and Mathematical Physics: In Honor of Duong H. Phong

This volume contains the proceedings of the Conference on Analysis,
Complex Geometry and Mathematical Physics: In Honor of Duong H. Phong,
which was held from May 7–11, 2013, at Columbia University, New
York. The conference featured thirty speakers who spoke on a range of
topics reflecting the breadth and depth of the research interests of
Duong H. Phong on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. A common
thread, familiar from Phong's own work, was the focus on the interplay
between the deep tools of analysis and the rich structures of geometry
and physics.
Papers included in this volume cover topics such as the complex
Monge-Ampère equation, pluripotential theory, geometric partial
differential equations, theories of integral operators, integrable
systems and perturbative superstring theory.
Readership
Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in partial differential equations, complex analysis, and mathematical physics.
