The Third International Workshop on Complex Structures and Vector Fields was held to exchange information on current topics in complex analysis, differential geometry and mathematical physics, and to find new subjects in these fields.This volume contains many interesting and important articles in complex analysis (including quaternionic analysis), functional analysis, topology, differential geometry (hermitian geometry, surface theory), and mathematical physics (quantum mechanics, hamilton mechanics).

The present workshop is aiming at the higher achievement of the studies of current topics ranging over differential geometry, Complex analysis and mathematical physics their future developments and their numerous applications. The present volume provides useful and significant information to the specialists in differential geometry, complex analysis and mathematical physics. It will be interesting also to a much broader audience of scholars and scientists working or interested in classical and quantum mechanics, in cell membranes, integrability and soliton interactions etc. Its geometric part includes homogeneous structures on almost contact metric spaces, geometric structures in four-manifolds and almost hermitian structures, complex connections on conformal Kähler manifolds, existence of compact hypersurfaces with the second fundamental form of constant length, linear Weingarten surfaces in a hyperbolic three-space, pre-contrast functions and their geometric properties, and further, fibre bundle formulation of Lagrangian quantum field theory, curvature forms and interaction of fields concerning geometrical setting in mathematical physics. The part on integrability and vector fields is devoted to the study of multicomponent nonlinear Schrodinger (MNLS) equations which play important role for understanding hydro-dynamical processes, the phenomena of Bose-Einstein condensates, etc. The symmetries of these MNLS equations are also studied, as well as their reductions and Lie algebraic properties. The third part of these proceedings treats problems of contemporary mechanics and mathematical physics. The methods of differential geometry quite unexpectedly provide important tool for modeling and studying microinjections in cell membranes, the equilibrium.

This volume contains the contributions by the participants in the eight of a series workshops in complex analysis, differential geometry and mathematical physics and related areas. Active specialists in mathematical physics contribute to the volume, providing not only significant information for researchers in the area but also interesting mathematics for non-specialists and a broader audience. The contributions treat topics including differential geometry, partial differential equations, integrable systems and mathematical physics.

In commemoration and celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Institute of Mathematics at East China Normal University, an International Conference on complex geometry and related fields recently convened. This collection presents some of the conference highlights, dealing with various and significant topics of differential and algebraic geometry, while exploring their connections to number theory and mathematical physics. Information for our distributors: Titles in this series are co-published with International Press, Cambridge, MA.

This volume presents the cutting-edge contributions to the Seventh International Workshop on Complex Structures and Vector Fields, which was organized as a continuation of the high successful preceding workshops on similar research.The volume includes works treating ambitious topics in differential geometry, mathematical physics and technology such as Bézier curves in space forms, potential and catastrophy of a soap film, computer-assisted studies of logistic maps, and robotics.
