The geometry of real submanifolds in complex manifolds and the analysis
of their mappings belong to the most advanced streams of contemporary
Mathematics. In this area converge the techniques of various and
sophisticated mathematical fields such as P.D.E.s, boundary value
problems, induced equations, analytic discs in symplectic spaces,
complex dynamics. For the variety of themes and the surprisingly good
interplaying of different research tools, these problems attracted the
attention of some among the best mathematicians of these latest two
decades. They also entered as a refined content of an advanced
education. In this sense the five lectures of this volume provide an
excellent cultural background while giving very deep insights of current
research activity.
