Complex, Contact and Symmetric Manifolds Summary

Complex, Contact and Symmetric Manifolds: In Honor of L. Vanhecke by Oldrich Kowalski

* Contains research and survey articles by well known and respected mathematicians on recent developments and research trends in differential geometry and topology * Dedicated in honor of Lieven Vanhecke, as a tribute to his many fruitful and inspiring contributions to these fields * Papers include all necessary introductory and contextual material to appeal to non-specialists, as well as researchers and differential geometers
