Book synopsis

This book provides a new, comprehensive, and self-contained account of Oka theory as an introduction to function theory of several complex variables, mainly concerned with the Three Big Problems that were solved by Kiyoshi Oka and form the basics of the theory.  The purpose of the volume is to serve as a textbook in  lecture courses right after complex function theory of one variable. The presentation aims to be readable and enjoyable both for those who are beginners in mathematics and for researchers interested in complex analysis in several variables and complex geometry.The nature of the present book is evinced by its approach following Oka's unpublished papers written in 1943 with his guiding methodological principle termed the "Joku-Iko Principle", where historically the Pseudoconvexity Problem (Hartogs, Levi) was first solved. The Three Big Problems, summarized by Behnke-Thullen in 1934, are (1) the Approximation Problem, (2) the Cousin Problem, and (3) the Pseudoconvexity Problem. The author's method is elementary, not relying on the cohomology theory of sheaves nor on the L2- -bar method, but yet reaches the core of the theory with the complete proofs.Two proofs for Levi's Problem are provided: One is Oka's original with the Fredholm integral equation of the second kind combined with the Joku-Iko Principle, and the other is Grauert's by the well-known "bumping-method" with L. Schwartz's Fredholm theorem, of which a self-contained, rather simple and short proof is given. The comparison of them should be interesting even for specialists.In addition to the Three Big Problems, other basic material is dealt with, such as Poincaré's non-biholomorphism between balls and polydisks, Cartan-Thullen's holomorph convexity, Hartogs' separate analyticity, Bochner's tube theorem, analytic interpolation, and others.It is valuable for students and researchers alike to look into the original works of Kiyoshi Oka, which are not easy to find in books or monographs.
