Invariant Distances and Metrics in Complex Analysis

Abstract

As in the field of Invariant Distances and Metrics in Complex Analysis there was and is a continuous progress. This is the second extended edition of the corresponding monograph. This comprehensive book is about the study of invariant pseudodistances (non-negative functions on pairs of points) and pseudometrics (non-negative functions on the tangent bundle) in several complex variables. It is an overview over a highly active research area at the borderline between complex analysis, functional analysis and differential geometry. New chapters are covering the Wu, Bergman and several other metrics.
