Complex Singularity Theory and Cauchy-Riemann Geometry (Springer Monographs in Mathematics)

This book presents a rigorous, self-contained, and systematic study of Cauchy-Riemann (CR) manifolds and their deep connections to singularity theory.It synthesizes foundational contributions to CR geometry and complex singularity theory, including the solution of the complex Plateau problem and the Mather-Yau theorem, which links complex geometry with finite-dimensional commutative algebras and the Bergman function theory developed by Stephen S.-T.Yau. The discussion brings together techniques from differential geometry, several complex variables, and singularity theory within a unified framework.Complete proofs enhance the book’s value as an authoritative reference, while the concise exposition facilitates access to advanced material.Readers are expected to have a solid background in several complex variables and some familiarity with normal isolated singularities and covering spaces.The book will be of interest to a broad audience of graduate students and researchers working in the
