Complex Manifolds and Hyperbolic Geometry: II Iberoamerican Congress on Geometry, January 4-9, 2001, Cimat, Guanajuato, Mexico

Material from a January 2001 conference presents new methods, recent results, and interconnections between different research groups working in complex manifolds and hyperbolic geometry. Included here are discussions revolving around questions of geometry related to functions of a complex variable, with contributions on Riemann surfaces, hyperbolic geometry, Teichmnller spaces, and quasiconformal maps. Some specific paper topics include dihedral groups acting on Jacobians, Barycentric extension and the Bers embedding for asymptotic Teichmnller space, symmetric rigidity for real polynomials with real critical points, and words sequences and intersection numbers. There is no subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
