"This volume is an outgrowth of the 40th Taniguchi Symposium "Analysis and Geometry in Several Complex Variables" held in Katata, Japan. Highlighted are the most recent developments in complex analysis related to PDE techniques and differential geometry. CR structures and the Bergman kernel are discussed in several articles. Some authors pursue the implications of these and other topics in diverse fields, ranging from algebraic geometry to theoretical physics." "This work will serve as resource for both researchers and graduate students interested in new trends in analysis and the geometry of several complex variables."--Jacket.
