Pseudoconvexity — In mathematics, more precisely in the theory of functions of several complex variables, a pseudoconvex set is a special type of open set in the n dimensional complex space C n . Pseudoconvex sets are important, as they allow for classification of … Wikipedia
CR manifold — In mathematics, a CR manifold is a differentiable manifold together with a geometric structure modeled on that of a real hypersurface in a complex vector space, or more generally modeled on an edge of a wedge. Formally, a CR manifold is a… … Wikipedia
Stein manifold — In mathematics, a Stein manifold in the theory of several complex variables and complex manifolds is a complex submanifold of the vector space of n complex dimensions. The name is for Karl Stein. Definition A complex manifold X of complex… … Wikipedia
