International Symposium in Memory of Hua Loo Keng

Book excerpt: The international symposium on number theory and analysis in memory of the late famous Chinese mathematician Professor Hua Loo Keng took place in August 1988 at the Tsinghua University in Beijing. Excellent survey lectures and expositions of the most recent results in number theory and analysis were given by experts from all over the world. While Volume I focuses on number theory, Volume II deals mainly with several complex variables, differential geometry and classical complex analysis. Both volumes also include two fascinating accounts of Professor Hua Loo Keng's life and work by Professor S. Iyanaga and Professor Wang Yuan. Highlights in Volume I: D.A. Hejhal: Eigenvalues of the Laplacian for PSL (2 Z): Some new Results and Computational Techniques.- A.A. Karatsuba: On the Zeros of Riemann's Zeta-Function on the Critical Line.- H.E. Richert: Aspects of the Small Sieve.- W.M. Schmidt: On the Number of Good Simultaneous Approximations to Algebraic Numbers.- M.V. Subbarao, Wang Yuan: On a Generalized Waring's Problem in Algebraic Number Fields.- G. WA1/4stholz: From Baker to Mordell. Highlights in Volume II: F. Capocasa, F. Catanese: Periodic Meroporphic Functions and Lefschetz Type Theorems on Quasi-Abelian Varieties.- S.S. Chern: Families of Hypersurfaces Under Contact Transformations in Rn.- G. Dethloff, H. Grauert: On the Infinitesimal Deformation of Simply Connected Domains in One Complex Variable.- D. Drasin: Asymptotic Periods of Entire and Meromorphic Functions.- D. Gaier: On the Convergence of the Bieberbach Polynomials in Regions With Corners.- Gong Sheng, Zheng Xuena: Distortion Theorem for Biholomorphic Mappings in Transitive Domains (I).- C.O. Kiselman: Tangents of Plurisubharmonic Functions.- A. KorAnyi: Hua-Type Integrals, Hypergeometric Functions and Symmetric Polynomials.- J.
