Synopsis

The 1998-1999 programme year of the Japan-U.S. Mathematics Institute at the Johns Hopkins University, USA was devoted to minimal surfaces, geometric analysis, and symplectic geometry. The programme culminated in a week-long workshop and conference to discuss developments. This volume is a collection of articles written by the speakers. It presents extended or modified versions of the lectures delivered at the meeting. Each article provides a vivid account of contemporary research, with the information given ranging from introductory level to the most up-to-date results. Of special interest is a long survey article by K. Fukaya on applications of Floer homology to mirror symmetry. Also discussed are developments on the geometry of constant mean curvature one surfaces in hyperbolic 3-spaces of finite total curvature. The range of topics covered in the volume provides direction for further research in these rapidly developing areas. The book should be suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in differential and symplectic geometry.
