Gauge Field Theory and Complex Geometry

From the reviews: "e;... focused mainly on complex differential geometry and holomorphic bundle theory. This is a powerful book, written by a very distinguished contributor to the field"e; (Contemporary Physics )"e;the book provides a large amount of background for current research across a spectrum of field. ... requires effort to read but it is worthwhile and rewarding"e; (New Zealand Math. Soc. Newsletter) "e; The contents are highly technical and the pace of the exposition is quite fast. Manin is an outstanding mathematician, and writer as well, perfectly at ease in the most abstract and complex situation. With such a guide the reader will be generously rewarded!"e; (Physicalia) This new edition includes an Appendix on developments of the last 10 years, by S. Merkulov.
