Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - A number of important topics in complex analysis and geometry arecovered in this excellent introductory text. Written by experts inthe subject, each chapter unfolds from the basics to the more complex.The exposition is rapid-paced and efficient, without compromisingproofs and examples that enable the reader to grasp the essentials.The most basic type of domain examined is the bounded symmetricdomain, originally described and classified by Cartan and Harish-Chandra. Two of the five parts of the text deal with these domains:one introduces the subject through the theory of semisimple Liealgebras (Koranyi), and the other through Jordan algebras and triplesystems (Roos). Larger classes of domains and spaces are furnished bythe pseudo-Hermitian symmetric spaces and related R-spaces. Theseclasses are covered via a study of their geometry and a presentationand classification of their Lie algebraic theory (Kaneyuki).In the fourth part of the book, the heat kernels of the symmetricspaces belonging to the classical Lie groups are determined (Lu).Explicit computations are made for each case, giving precise resultsand complementing the more abstract and general methods presented.Also explored are recent developments in the field, in particular, thestudy of complex semigroups which generalize complex tube domains andfunction spaces on them (Faraut).This volume will be useful as a graduate text for students of Liegroup theory with connections to complex analysis, or as a self-studyresource for newcomers to the field. Readers will reach the frontiersof the subject in a considerably shorter time than with existingtexts.

Riassunto

[see attached] This excellent introductory text covers a number of important areas in complex analysis and geometry. Written by experts in their respective fields, each of the five chapters unfolds from the basics to the more complex. Unlike other more laborious introductory texts, the exposition here is rapid-paced and efficient, without compromising proofs and examples that enable the reader to grasp the essentials. Topics covered include: function spaces on complex semigroups * graded Lie algebras, related geometric structures, and pseudo- Hermitian symmetric spaces * function spaces on bounded symmetric

Recensione

"The book is clearly an important contribution to the literature on the subject. A number of results presented here is not accessible in book form elsewhere. Both research students and professional mathematicians will find this valuable volume an extremely useful guide and reference work."

--Publicationes Mathematicae

"This book, which is a useful text for advanced graduate students and researchers...gives a comprehensive account of the field of homogeneous complex domains...The exposition is rapidly paced and efficient, without compromising proofs. Moreover, plenty of examples are given, enabling the reader to understand the essential ideas behind the notions and the theorems."

--ZAA

"This book has been written by five outstanding experts with the intention of surveying the most important goals and viewpoints of the field...It is a pleasant reading, details of proofs are supplied or omitted in a very well chosen manner...Many new top results are described and it contains the most important references after each part. I recommend it first of all since, using this book, one can reach the research level with considerably less effort than by the aid of other means of the recent literature."
