ICM-90 Satellite Conference Proceedings : Algebraic Geometry and Analytic Geometry (Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1991)

The International Conference "Algebraic Geometry and Analytic Geometry, Tokyo 1990" was held at Tokyo Metropolitan University and the Tokyo Training Center of Daihyaku Mutual Life Insurance Co., from August 13 through August 17, 1990, under the co-sponsorship of the Mathematical Society of Japan.

It was one of the satellite conferences of ICM90, Kyoto, and approximately 300 participants, including more than 100 from overseas, attended the conference.

The academic program was divided into two parts, the morning sessions and the afternoon sessions.

The morning sessions were held at Tokyo Metropolitan University, and two one-hour plenary lectures were delivered every day.

The afternoon sessions at the Tokyo Training Center, intended for a more specialized audience, consisted of four separate subsessions: Arithemetic Geometry, Algebraic Geometry, Analytic Geometry I and Analytic Geometry II.

This book contains papers which grew out of the talks at the conference.

The committee in charge of the organization and program consisted of A.

Fujiki, K. Kato, T. Katsura, Y. Kawamata, Y. Miyaoka, S. Mori, K. Saito, N. Sasakura, T. Suwa and K. Watanabe. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many mathematicians and students who cooperated to make the conference possible, especially Professors T.

Fukui, S. Ishii, Y. Kitaoka, M. Miyanishi, Y. Namikawa, T. Oda, F. Sakai and T. Shioda for their valuable advice and assistance in organizing this conference.

Financial support was mainly provided by personal contributions from Professors M.
