About this title

From the Back Cover:

The Current Developments in Mathematics (CDM) conference is an annual seminar, jointly hosted by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and devoted to surveying the most recent developments in mathematics. In choosing speakers, the hosts take a broad look at the field of geometry, and select geometers who transcend classical perceptions within their field. All speakers are prominent specialists in the fields of algebraic geometry, mathematical physics, and other areas. International Press is pleased to bring the full contents of these proceedings to you in their Current Developments in Mathematics book series.
