The Geometry of Complex Domains
Rreth këtij libri elektronik
The text begins with an introductory chapter on the concept of an automorphism group in which the theory in one complex variable is presented, emphasizing the classical ideas of Schwarz, Jobe, and others. Also examined is the theory of planar domains of multiple but finite connectivity, principally develped by Heins in the 1940s and 1950s. The authors treatment progresses to the theory in several complex variables with the so-called "classical domains" of E. Cartan, the Siegel domains of type I, II, and III, and the more modern theory of automorphism groups of smoothly bounded domains.
