Product Description: This volume contains a unique, systematic presentation of the general theory of differential equations on complex manifolds. The six chapters deal with questions concerning qualitative (asymptotic) theory of partial differential equations as well as questions about the existence of solutions in spaces of ramifying functions...read more

Product Description: This monograph studies the problem of characterizing canonical metrics on Hermitian locally symmetric manifolds X of non-compact/compact types in terms of curvature conditions. The proofs of these metric rigidity theorems are applied to the study of holomorphic mappings between manifolds X of the same type...read more
