The story of separately holomorphic functions began about 100 years ago. During the second half of the 19th century, it became known that a separately continuous function is not necessarily continuous as a function of all variables. At the beginning of the 20th century, the study of separately holomorphic functions started due to the fundamental work of Osgood and Hartogs. This book provides the first self-contained and complete presentation of the study of separately holomorphic functions, from its beginnings to current research. Most of the results presented have never been published before in book form. The text is divided into two parts. The first part deals with separately holomorphic functions, ``without singularities''. The second part addresses the situation of existing singularities. A discussion of the classical results related to separately holomorphic functions leads to the most fundamental result, the classical cross theorem as well as various extensions and generalizations, to more complicated ``crosses''. Additionally, several applications for other classes of ``separately regular'' functions are given. A solid background in basic complex analysis is a prerequisite. To make the book self contained, all the results are collected in special introductory chapters and referred to at the beginning of each section. This book is addressed to students and researchers in several complex variables as well as mathematicians and theoretical physicists interested in this area of mathematics.

Most of the results presented have never been published before in book form. The text is divided into two parts. A more elementary one deals with separately holomorphic functions "without singularities", another addresses the situation of existing singularities.

Additionally, several applications for other classes of "separately regular" functions are given. A solid background in basic complex analysis is a prerequisite.

The subject of real analytic functions is one of the oldest in mathe matical analysis. Today it is encountered early in ones mathematical training: the first taste usually comes in calculus. While most work ing mathematicians use real analytic functions from time to time in their work, the vast lore of real analytic functions remains obscure and buried in the literature. It is remarkable that the most accessible treatment of Puiseux's theorem is in Lefschetz's quite old Algebraic Geometry, that the clearest discussion of resolution of singularities for real analytic manifolds is in a book review by Michael Atiyah, that there is no comprehensive discussion in print of the embedding prob lem for real analytic manifolds. We have had occasion in our collaborative research to become ac quainted with both the history and the scope of the theory of real analytic functions. It seems both appropriate and timely for us to gather together this information in a single volume. The material presented here is of three kinds. The elementary topics, covered in Chapter 1, are presented in great detail. Even results like a real ana lytic inverse function theorem are difficult to find in the literature, and we take pains here to present such topics carefully. Topics of middling difficulty, such as separate real analyticity, Puiseux series, the FBI transform, and related ideas (Chapters 2-4), are covered thoroughly but rather more briskly.

This volume is a collection of research-and-survey articles by eminent and active workers around the world on the various areas of current research in the theory of analytic functions.Many of these articles emerged essentially from the proceedings of, and various deliberations at, three recent conferences in Japan and Korea: An International Seminar on Current Topics in Univalent Functions and Their Applications which was held in August 1990, in conjunction with the International Congress of Mathematicians at Kyoto, at Kinki University in Osaka; An International Seminar on Univalent Functions, Fractional Calculus, and Their Applications which was held in October 1990 at Fukuoka University; and also the Japan-Korea Symposium on Univalent Functions which was held in January 1991 at Gyeongsang National University in Chinju.

The present monograph on analytic functions coincides to a lar[extent with the presentation of the modern theory of single-value analytic functions given in my earlier works "Le theoreme de Picarc Borel et la theorie des fonctions meromorphes" (Paris: Gauthier-Villar 1929) and "Eindeutige analytische Funktionen" (Die Grundlehren dt mathematischen Wissenschaften in Einzeldarstellungen, VoL 46, 1: edition Berlin: Springer 1936, 2nd edition Berlin-Gottingen-Heidelberg Springer 1953). In these presentations I have strived to make the individual result and their proofs readily understandable and to treat them in the ligh of certain guiding principles in a unified way. A decisive step in thi direction within the theory of entire and meromorphic functions consiste- in replacing the classical representation of these functions through ca nonical products with more general tools from the potential theor (Green's formula and especially the Poisson-Jensen formula). On thi foundation it was possible to introduce the quantities (the characteristic the proximity and the counting functions) which are definitive for th

Analytic Extension is a mysteriously beautiful property of analytic functions. With this point of view in mind the related survey papers were gathered from various fields in analysis such as integral transforms, reproducing kernels, operator inequalities, Cauchy transform, partial differential equations, inverse problems, Riemann surfaces, Euler-Maclaurin summation formulas, several complex variables, scattering theory, sampling theory, and analytic number theory, to name a few. Audience: Researchers and graduate students in complex analysis, partial differential equations, analytic number theory, operator theory and inverse problems.

This book is an account of the theory of Hardy spaces in one dimension, with emphasis on some of the exciting developments of the past two decades or so. The last seven of the ten chapters are devoted in the main to these recent developments. The motif of the theory of Hardy spaces is the interplay between real, complex, and abstract analysis. While paying proper attention to each of the three aspects, the author has underscored the effectiveness of the methods coming from real analysis, many of them developed as part of a program to extend the theory to Euclidean spaces, where the complex methods are not available.

Basic treatment includes existence theorem for solutions of differential systems where data is analytic, holomorphic functions, Cauchy's integral, Taylor and Laurent expansions, more. Exercises. 1973 edition.

This volume contains the Proceedings of the International Workshop "Complex Analysis", which was held from February 12-16, 1990, in Wuppertal (Germany) in honour of H. Grauert, one of the most creative mathematicians in Complex Analysis of this century. In complete accordance with the width of the work of Grauert the book contains research notes and longer articles of many important mathematicians from all areas of Complex Analysis (Altogether there a re 49 articles in the volume). Some of the main subjects are: Cau chy-Riemann Equations with estimates, q-convexity, CR structures, deformation theory, envelopes of holomorphy, function algebras, complex group actions, Hodge theory, instantons, Kähler geometry, Lefschetz theorems, holomorphic mappings, Nevanlinna theory, com plex singularities, twistor theory, uniformization.
