Complex geometry has been extensively studied and developed since the 19th century. This volume examines the subject from a global, historical perspective.
It begins with an essay on the historical development of complex geometry, with extensive quotations of experts past and present, followed by a discussion of Calabi?Yau manifolds, and a look at Shing-Tung Yau as a writer and mathematician. Next, it presents a series of selected papers, beginning with Bernhard Riemannfs thesis on the foundation of complex analysis, and his masterpiece on the foundations of geometry, followed by numerous seminal papers of modern practitioners: Atiyah, Bott, Chern, Calabi, Chow, Donaldson, Hirzebruch, Kahler, Kodaira, Siu, Uhlenbeck, and Yau.
The volume concludes with a set of commentaries written by Yau, from his personal perspective, on the broad subject of complex geometry and its applications; and finally with an extensive list of papers on complex geometry from the 20th and 21st centuries, categorized by topic.
This volume is part of the Advanced Lectures in Mathematics book series.

Groups and group actions are probably the most central objects in mathematics.
Comprising volumes 31, 32, 40 and 41 of the ALM series, the Handbook of Group Actions presents survey articles on the topic of group actions and how they appear in several mathematical contexts. The general subject matter is organized under the following sections: geometry, mapping class groups, knot groups, topology, representation theory, deformation theory, and discrete groups.
The various articles deal with both classical material and modern developments. They are written by specialists in their respective subject areas, and addressed to graduate students who want to learn the theory, as well as to specialists as a reference.
This is the third volume of the Handbook of Group Actions.
This volume is sold both independently and as part of a volume set.
This volume is part of the Advanced Lectures in Mathematics book series.

Quanta Magazine's stories of mathematical explorations show that ginspiration strikes willy-nilly,h revealing surprising solutions and exciting discoveries.
Mathematics has rarely seemed as vibrant and alive?and as thrilling?as it does in these pages. When the best writers explain the best mathematics, it's a wonder to behold. These are stories of drama, passion, longing and inspiration. They're also a lot of fun to read.

Quanta Magazine's stories of mathematical explorations show that ginspiration strikes willy-nilly,h revealing surprising solutions and exciting discoveries.
These stories from Quanta Magazine map the routes of mathematical exploration, showing readers how cutting-edge research is done, while illuminating the productive tension between conjecture and proof, theory and intuition. The stories show that, as James Gleick puts it in the foreword, ginspiration strikes willy-nilly.h One researcher thinks of quantum chaotic systems at a bus stop; another suddenly realizes a path to proving a theorem of number theory while in a friend's backyard; a statistician has a gbathroom sink epiphanyh and discovers the key to solving the Gaussian correlation inequality. Readers of The Prime Number Conspiracy, says Quanta editor-in-chief Thomas Lin, are headed on gbreathtaking intellectual journeys to the bleeding edge of discovery strapped to the narrative rocket of humanity's never-ending pursuit of knowledge.h Quanta is the only popular publication that offers in-depth coverage of the latest breakthroughs in understanding our mathematical universe. It communicates mathematics by taking it seriously, wrestling with difficult concepts and clearly explaining them in a way that speaks to our innate curiosity about our world and ourselves. Readers of this volume will learn that prime numbers have decided preferences about the final digits of the primes that immediately follow them (the gconspiracyh of the title); consider whether math is the universal language of nature (allowing for ga unified theory of randomnessh); discover surprising solutions (including a pentagon tiling proof that solves a century-old math problem); ponder the limits of computation; measure infinity; and explore the eternal question gIs mathematics good for you?h
