In the Tradition of Ahlfors and Bers: Proceedings of the First Ahlfors-Bers Colloquium, Ahlfors-Bers Colloquium, November 6-8, 1998, State University ... at Stony Brook

The 23 contributions in this volume consist both of original contributions and surveys of various aspects of the field, including complex analysis, Riemann surfaces, Teichmnller theory, and hyperbolic manifolds. A number of the contributions focus on the contributions to the field by mathematicians Lipman Bers and Lars Ahlfors. A selection of topics addressed includes variation of moduli under holomorphic motions, local boundary dilatation, complexity of a Turing machine discreteness algorithm, and automorphic coefficient sums and the quantum ergodicity question.
