Integral Geometry, Radon Transforms and Complex Analysis e-bog

This book contains the notes of five short courses delivered at the "e;Centro Internazionale Matematico Estivo"e; session "e;Integral Geometry, Radon Transforms and Complex Analysis"e; held in Venice (Italy) in June 1996: three of them deal with various aspects of integral geometry, with a common emphasis on several kinds of Radon transforms, their properties and applications, the other two share a stress on CR manifolds and related problems. All lectures are accessible to a wide audience, and provide self-contained introductions and short surveys on the subjects, as well as detailed expositions of selected results.
