Gauge Field Theory and Complex Geometry

From the reviews: "... focused mainly on complex differential geometry and holomorphic bundle theory. This is a powerful book, written by a very distinguished contributor to the field" (Contemporary Physics )"the book provides a large amount of background

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION

In the seven years since this book was published in English, the exciting interaction between complex geometry and theoretical physics continued to bring new results and ideas to both domains. For this edition, Prof. S. Merkulov has written an Addendum and compiled a list of additional references. Thanks to him, several dozens of misprints in the first edition were corrected as weIl. I would like to express my thanks to him for this help. Bonn, January 1997
