D’ Angelo, Robert E. Greene, and Steven G. Krantz, Editors (Proceedings of Symposia in Pure Mathematics, Volume 52) This three-volume set contains the proceedings of the Summer Research Institute on Several Complex Variables andComplex Geometry, held at the University of California at Santa Cruz in July 1989. The institute explored recent developments in the geometry and function theory of several complex variables. An attempt was made to stimulate interactions among the different methodologies in the subject, such as differential geometry, algebraic geometry. partial differential equations, harmonic analysis, and classical methods. The topics covered include function theory, complex geometry, partial differential equations, functional analysis, and analysis in manifolds. With contributions by some of the world’s top experts in several complex variables and complex geometry, this book provides readers with insight into the current state of this field. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: 32 (Part 1), 32, 53 (Part 2), 32, 35, 53 (Part 3) ISBN (Set) 0-8218-1488-5; ISBN (Part 1) 0-8218-1489-3; ISBN (Part 2) 0-8218-1490-7; ISBN (Part 3) 0-8218-1491-5, LC 91-11227, ISSN 0082-0717; 262 pages (Part 1); 625 pages (Part 2); 368 pages (Part 3), (hardcover), July 1991 Set: Individual member $131, List price $219, Institutional member $175 Part 1: Individual member $35, List price $58, Institutional member $46 Part 2: Individual member $66, List price $110, Institutional member $88 Part 3: Individual member $43, List price $72, Institutional member $58 To order please specify PSPUM/S2NA (Set) PSPUM/S2.1NA (Part 1), PSPUM/52.2NA (Part 2), PSPUM/52.3NA (Part 3) All prices subject to change.
