Geometric Analysis of PDE and Several Complex Variables: Dedicated to Francois Treves

This international collection presents a variety of recent results in partial differential equations and functions of several complex variables. Several of the papers are expanded versions of lectures given during an August 2003 workshop held in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The two longest papers study Gevrey hypo-ellipticity for sums of squares of vector fields, and maps from a two-dimensional manifold ê with values into S1. Other topics of the 25 papers include cusp-type singularities of real analytic curves in the complex plane, the multinomial distribution and some Bergman kernels, acyclic sheaves in Banach spaces, and a Liouville type theorem for some conformally invariant fully nonlinear equations.
