Perspectives in Analysis, Geometry, and Topology: On the Occasion of the 60th Birthday of Oleg Viro

Consolidating in a single volume a major portion of the recent, impressive encounters among the fields of analysis, geometry, and topology would be too ambitious. The collection of papers in this work still should give some sense of the development of the fields and their interactions. The topics presented by leading experts in their respective fields include: algebraic geometry, in particular, real algebraic geometry, differential geometry, symplectic and contact geometry, complex analysis, three- and four-dimensional manifolds, and invariants of links.

Also included in the book is the opening speech of the Symposium by Lennart Carleson on the Unity of Mathematics.
