Description for Complex Ball Quotients and Line Arrangements in the Projective Plane (MN-51)
Paperback. Series: Mathematical Notes. Num Pages: 232 pages, 2 line illus. 18 tables. BIC Classification: PBM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 229 x 152. .
This book introduces the theory of complex surfaces through a comprehensive look at finite covers of the projective plane branched along line arrangements. Paula Tretkoff emphasizes those finite covers that are free quotients of the complex two-dimensional ball. Tretkoff also includes background on the classical Gauss hypergeometric function of one variable, and a chapter on the Appell two-variable F1 hypergeometric function. The material in this book began as a set of lecture notes, taken by Tretkoff, of a course given by Friedrich Hirzebruch at ETH Zurich in 1996. The lecture notes were then considerably expanded by Hirzebruch and Tretkoff over ... Read more
