This book focuses on complex geometry and covers highly active topics centered around geometric problems in several complex variables and complex dynamics, written by some of the world's leading experts in their respective fields. This book features research and expository contributions from the 2013 Abel Symposium, held at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology Trondheim on July 2-5, 2013. The purpose of the symposium was to present the state of the art on the topics, and to discuss future research directions.

Pluripotential theory is a very powerful tool in geometry, complex analysis and dynamics. This volume brings together the lectures held at the 2011 CIME session on "pluripotential theory" in Cetraro, Italy. This CIME course focused on complex Monge-Ampere equations, applications of pluripotential theory to Kahler geometry and algebraic geometry and to holomorphic dynamics. The contributions provide an extensive description of the theory and its very recent developments, starting from basic introductory materials and concluding with open questions in current research.

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.

There was a special year devoted to the topic of several complex variables at the Mittag-Leffler Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, and this volume contains the resulting survey papers and research papers. The work covers a broad spectrum of developments in this field. The contributors include H. Alexander; F. Almgren; E. Almar; M. Andersson; E. Bedford; J. Belanger; S. Bell; B. Berndtsson; U. Cegrell; C.H. Chang and H.P. Lee; J. Chaumat and A.M. Chollet; J. D'Angelo; J. P. Demailley; P. Dolbeault; A. Dor; F. Forstneric; B. Gaveau, M. Okada, and T. Okada; R. Greene and S. Krantz; A. Iordan; C. Laurent-Thiebaut and J. Leiterer; L. Lempert; I. Lieb and M. Range; L. Qi-King; P. Manne; A. Noell; M. Passare; J. Riihentaus; J. P. Rosay and W. Rudin; R. Saerens and W. Zame; A.

The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These paperback editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

We shall study a notion of capacity for compact subsets of complex projective space. Our principal motivation for this comes from a theorem of Sibony and Wong [8], Let K be a compact circled subset of the unit sphere in C2.
