Several Complex Variables

Expository articles on Several Complex Variables and its interactions with PDEs, algebraic geometry, number theory, and differential geometry. Several Complex Variables is a central area of mathematics with strong interactions with partial differential equations, algebraic geometry, number theory, and differential geometry. The 1995–1996 MSRI program on Several Complex Variables emphasized these interactions and concentrated on developments and problems of interest that capitalize on this interplay of ideas and techniques. This collection, first published in 2000, provides a remarkably clear and complete picture of the status of research in these overlapping areas and will provide a basis for significant continued contributions from researchers. Several of the articles are expository or have extensive expository sections, making this an excellent introduction for students to the use of techniques from these other areas in several complex variables. Thanks to its distinguished list of contributors this volume provides a representative sample of the work done in Several Complex Variables.
