Preface
The American Mathematical Society held its thirty-seventh annual Summer Research Institute at the University of California at Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, California, from July 10 to July 30, 1989. The focus of this institute was several complex variables and complex geometry. The members of the AMS Committee on Summer Institutes that selected this program were Eric Friedlander, Steven L. Kleiman, Paul H. Rabinowitz, Thomas C. Spencer, Robert B. Warfield, Jr., and John Wermer (chair). The institute was supported in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation. The Organizing committee for the institute consisted of Eric Bedford, John D'Angelo, Robert E. Greene, and Steven G. Krantz (chair). All of the organizers edited these proceedings.
The institute explored recent developments in the geometry and function theory of several complex variables. An attempt was made to create a dialogue among the different methodologies in the subject: differential geometry, algebraic geometry, partial differential equations, harmonic analysis, and classical methods. Each week there were two series of several connected lectures (called the Principal Lectures) representing important directions in the field of emphasis for that week. These were intermixed with single hour lectures. Both the connected series of talks and the hour lectures were presented in the mornings and early afternoons. The last three hours of every day consisted of two parallel sessions of briefer seminar lectures.

The purpose of the papers in these volumes is to exhibit and describe the current state of the field. The papers are organized according to the week in which the corresponding lectures were presented, and are given in alphabetical order. The first week was devoted to function theory, the second to complex geometry, and the third to analysis and partial differential equations.
PREFACE xv
The University of California at Santa Cruz provided pleasant facilities and a beautiful environment in which to conduct our sessions. Wayne Drady of the American Mathematical Society made the entire event run both smoothly and harmoniously. The American Mathematical Society was a great help at every stage of the planning.
We dedicate these volumes to the memory of Jean Martinet.
