    Featuring contributions from a group of outstanding mathematicians, this book covers the most recent advances in the geometric theory of singular phenomena of partial differential equations occurring in real and complex differential geometry. Gathering together papers from a workshop held in Cortona, Italy, this volume will be of great interest to all those whose research interests lie in real and complex differential geometry, partial differential equations, and gauge theory.

    • Up to date
    • Excellent contributors
    • Of interest to a wide spread of mathematicians
