The aim of this book is to study various geometric properties and algebraic invariants of smooth projective varieties with infinite fundamental groups. This approach allows for much interplay between methods of algebraic geometry, complex analysis, the theory of harmonic maps, and topology. Making systematic use of Shafarevich maps, a concept previously introduced by the author, this work isolates those varieties where the fundamental group influences global properties of the canonical class. The book is primarily geared toward researchers and graduate students in algebraic geometry who are interested in the structure and classification theory of algebraic varieties. There are, however, ... Read more

Reviews for Shafarevich Maps and Automorphic Forms
"I believe Kollar has written a powerful book, and not coincidentally, a fairly demanding one. However, the explanations are clear, and I think that more than half of it would be accessible to anyone who has mastered the basics of complex algebraic geometry... There are a number of sections ... which could be read independently of the rest of the ... Read more
