Authored by a ranking authority in harmonic analysis of several complex variables, this book embodies a state-of-the-art entrée at the intersection of two important fields of research: complex analysis and harmonic analysis. Written with the graduate student in mind, it is assumed that the reader has familiarity with the basics of complex analysis of one and several complex variables as well as with real and functional analysis. The monograph is largely self-contained and develops the harmonic analysis of several complex variables from the first principles. The text includes copious examples, explanations, an exhaustive bibliography for further reading, and figures that illustrate the geometric nature of the subject. Each chapter ends with an exercise set. Additionally, each chapter begins with a prologue, introducing the reader to the subject matter that follows; capsules presented in each section give perspective and a spirited launch to the segment;preludes help put ideas into context. Mathematicians and researchers in several applied disciplines will find the breadth and depth of the treatment of the subject highly useful.

Autorentext
Peter V. Dovbush is an Associate Professor and Leading Researcher at the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science of Moldova State University, Moldova. His research interests lie on the geometric theory of functions of several complex variables. Steven G. Krantz earned his B.A. from the University of California at Santa Cruz (1971) and his PhD from Princeton University, USA (1974). With teaching periods at UCLA, Princeton, Penn State, and Washington University in St. Louis, he chaired the latter's mathematics department for five years. Dr. Krantz has authored or co-authored over 160 books and 350 scholarly papers, and he has edited numerous journals. His contributions to mathematics have earned him awards such as the Chauvenet Prize, the Beckenbach Book Award, and the Kemper Prize.
