Complex Algebraic Varieties

The Bayreuth meeting on 'Complex Algebraic Varieties' focussed on the classification of algebraic varieties and topics such as vector bundles, Hodge theory and hermitian differential geometry. Most of the articles in this volume are closely related to talks given at the conference: all are original, fully refereed research articles. CONTENTS: A.
