Inhaltsangabe

This volume of the Encyclopaedia is the second in its subseries on the theory of several complex variables. It contains four parts which deal with topics related to algebraic geometry, potential theory, function theory in the unit ball and twistor geometry. Researchers and graduate students in complex analysis and in mathematical physics will use this book as a reference and as a guide to exciting areas of research.

Plurisubharmonic functions playa major role in the theory of functions of several complex variables. The extensiveness of plurisubharmonic functions, the simplicity of their definition together with the richness of their properties and. most importantly, their close connection with holomorphic functions have assured plurisubharmonic functions a lasting place in multidimensional complex analysis. (Pluri)subharmonic functions first made their appearance in the works of Hartogs at the beginning of the century. They figure in an essential way, for example, in the proof of the famous theorem of Hartogs (1906) on joint holomorphicity. Defined at first on the complex plane IC, the class of subharmonic functions became thereafter one of the most fundamental tools in the investigation of analytic functions of one or several variables. The theory of subharmonic functions was developed and generalized in various directions: subharmonic functions in Euclidean space IRn, plurisubharmonic functions in complex space en and others. Subharmonic functions and the foundations ofthe associated classical poten­ tial theory are sufficiently well exposed in the literature, and so we introduce here only a few fundamental results which we require. More detailed expositions can be found in the monographs of Privalov (1937), Brelot (1961), and Landkof (1966). See also Brelot (1972), where a history of the development of the theory of subharmonic functions is given.

Reseña del editor

This volume of the Encyclopaedia contains four parts each of which being an informative survey of a topic in the field of several complex variables. Thefirst deals with residue theory and its applications to integrals depending on parameters, combinatorial sums and systems of algebraic equations. The second part contains recent results in complex potential theory and the third part treats function theory in the unit ball covering research of the last twenty years. The latter part includes an up-to-date account of research related to a list of problems, which was published by Rudin in 1980. The last part of the book treats complex analysis in the futuretube. The future tube is an important concept in mathematical physics, especially in axiomatic quantum field theory, and it is related to Penrose'swork on "the complex geometry of the real world". Researchers and graduate students in complex analysis and mathematical physics will use thisbook as a reference and as a guide to exciting areas of research.
