He shows how it can be developed in a natural way from the invariant geometry of the complex disc. He also introduces the Bergman kernal and metric and provides profound applications, some of them never having appeared before in print. In general, the new edition represents a considerable polishing and re-thinking of the original successful volume. This is the first and only book to describe the context, the background, the details, and the applications of Ahlfors's celebrated ideas about curvature, the Schwarz lemma, and applications in complex analysis. Beginning from scratch, and requiring only a minimal background in complex variable theory, this book takes the reader up to ideas that are currently active areas of study. Such areas include a) the Caratheodory and Kobayashi metrics, b) the Bergman kernel and metric, c) boundary continuation of conformal maps. There is also an introduction to the theory of several complex variables. Poincare?'s celebrated theorem about the biholomorphic inequivalence of the ball and polydisc is discussed and proved. 410 0$aCarus mathematical monographs ;$vno. 23. 606 $aFunctions of complex variables 606 $aGeometry, Differential 615 0$aFunctions of complex variables. 615 0$aGeometry, Differential. 676 $a515/.9 700 $aKrantz$b Steven G$g(Steven George),$f1951-$055961 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822594503321 996 $aComplex analysis$979508 997 $aUNINA
