Complex Algebraic Varieties

The Bayreuth meeting on "Complex Algebraic Varieties"focussed on the classification of algebraic varieties andtopics such as vector bundles, Hodge theory and hermitiandifferential geometry. Most of the articles in this volumeare closely related to talks given at the conference: allare original, fully refereed research articles.CONTENTS: A.
