Beschreibung

Hardcover. Complex hyperbolic geometry is a particularly rich area of study, enhanced by the confluence of several areas of research including Riemannian geometry, complex analysis, symplectic and contact geometry, Lie group theory, and harmonic analysis. The boundary of complex hyperbolic geometry, known as spherical CR or Heisenberg geometry, is equally rich, and although there exist accounts of analysis in such spaces there is currently no account of their geometry. Thisbook redresses the balance and provides an overview of the geometry of both the complex hyperbolic space and its boundary. Motivated by applications of the theory to geometric structures, moduli spacesand discrete groups, it is designed to provide an introduction to this fascinating and important area and invite further research and development. The geometry of complex hyperbolic space has not, so far, been given a comprehensive treatment in the literature. This book seeks to address this by providing an overview of this particularly rich area of research, and is largely motivated by the wide applications in other areas of mathematics and physics. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780198537939
