From Holomorphic Functions to Complex Manifolds, Hardback Book

From Holomorphic Functions to Complex Manifolds Hardback

Part of the Graduate Texts in Mathematics series

Hardback

Description

The aim of this book is to give an understandable introduction to the the­ ory of complex manifolds.

With very few exceptions we give complete proofs. Many examples and figures along with quite a few exercises are included.

Our intent is to familiarize the reader with the most important branches and methods in complex analysis of several variables and to do this as simply as possible.

Therefore, the abstract concepts involved with sheaves, coherence, and higher-dimensional cohomology are avoided.

Only elementary methods such as power series, holomorphic vector bundles, and one-dimensional co­ cycles are used.

Nevertheless, deep results can be proved, for example the Remmert-Stein theorem for analytic sets, finiteness theorems for spaces of cross sections in holomorphic vector bundles, and the solution of the Levi problem.

The first chapter deals with holomorphic functions defined in open sub­ sets of the space en.

Many of the well-known properties of holomorphic functions of one variable, such as the Cauchy integral formula or the maxi­ mum principle, can be applied directly to obtain corresponding properties of holomorphic functions of several variables.

Furthermore, certain properties of differentiable functions of several variables, such as the implicit and inverse function theorems, extend easily to holomorphic functions.
