What algebraic varieties over the complex numbers give rise to Stein manifolds? Affines clearly do, but they are not the only ones. In 1983 Ueda made a breakthrough on the problem by showing that for a special class of surfaces, there is a homological criterion for Stein non-aff…
This book is devoted to the interplay between complex and symplectic geometry in affine complex manifolds. Affine complex (a.k.a. Stein) manifolds have canonically built into them symplectic geometry which is responsible for many phenomena in complex geometry and analysis. The g…
