In the Tradition of Ahlfors and Bers Proceedings of the First Ahlfors-Bers Colloquium, Ahlfors-Bers Colloquium, November 6-8, 1998, State University of New York at Stony Brook

The papers in this collection were presented at the First Ahlfors-Bers Colloquium - a conference held in the tradition of Lars Ahlfors and Lipman Bers. These conferences have been perpetuated to honour and carry on the work of Ahlfors and Bers, whose fundamental works in the field of complex analysis so influenced their students, colleagues, and a new generation of mathematicians. The papers cover complex analysis, Riemann surfaces, Teichmüller theory and hyperbolic manifolds. Most of the works include original contributions to the field, and others survey various aspects of the field, including papers by Lennart Carleson, Clifford Earle, and Dennis Hejhal on the contributions of Lars Ahlfors.Kra, I. is the author of 'In the Tradition of Ahlfors and Bers Proceedings of the First Ahlfors-Bers Colloquium, Ahlfors-Bers Colloquium, November 6-8, 1998, State University of New York at Stony Brook' with ISBN 9780821813713 and ISBN 0821813714.
