A set in complex Euclidean space is called C-convex if all its intersections with complex lines are contractible, and it is said to be linearly convex if its complement is a union of complex hyperplanes. These notions are intermediates between ordinary geometric convexity and pseudoconvexity. Their importance was first manifested in the pioneering work of Andre Martineau from about forty years ago. Since then a large number of new related results have been obtained by many different mathematicians. The present book puts the modern theory of complex linear convexity on a solid footing, and gives a thorough and up-to-date survey of its current status. Applications include the Fantappie transformation of analytic functionals, integral representation formulas, polynomial interpolation, and solutions to linear partial differential equations."

This book is dedicated to the memory of Mikael Passare, an outstanding Swedish mathematician who devoted his life to developing the theory of analytic functions in several complex variables and exploring geometric ideas first-hand. It includes several papers describing Mikael's life as well as his contributions to mathematics, written by friends of Mikael's who share his attitude and passion for science. A major section of the book presents original research articles that further develop Mikael's ideas and which were written by his former students and co-authors. All these mathematicians work at the interface of analysis and geometry, and Mikael's impact on their research cannot be underestimated. Most of the contributors were invited speakers at the conference organized at Stockholm University in his honor. This book is an attempt to express our gratitude towards this great mathematician, who left us full of energy and new creative mathematical ideas.

Jens Jonssonn directs the third instalment of this gritty Swedish crime thriller based on the novels by Jens Lapidus. Johan (Joel Kinnaman)'s exile does not last long as his determination to discover the fate of his missing sister takes him right to the heart of organised crime in Stockholm. Meanwhile, his friend Jorge (Matias Varela) is attempting the largest robbery in Swedish history which he says will also be his last. The third strand of the story follows Martin (Martin Wallström) as he goes undercover in the Serbian mafia to put its notorious boss behind bars. But with others after the crime boss and a recent failed assasination attempt will Martin be able to get to him first?

This book is an outgrowth of lectures given at several occasions at the University of Göteborg and Chalmers University of Technology during the last ten years. Contrary to most introductory texts on complex analysis, it preassumes knowledge of basic analysis. This makes it possible to move rather quickly through the most fundamental material and to reach within a one-semester course some classical highlights such as Fatou theorems and some Nevanlinna theory, as well as more recent topics, for example the corona theorem and the H1-BMO duality.
