Geometric Analysis of the Bergman Kernel and Metric

Steven G. Krantz is one of Springer’s and Birkhäuser’s most prolific and popular authors in the field of functional analysis, geometric analysis, and partial differential equations. Krantz is the series editor of Birkhäuser’s ‘ Cornerstones’ graduate text series and the founder and editor-in-chief of “The Journal of Geometric Analysis”, considered a society journal previously published by the AMS and often acts as an advisor to several senior editors at Springer/ Birkhäuser . He is also editor-in-chief of the “Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications”. Professor Krantz is currently the editor-in-chief of the AMS Notices and also edits for “The American Mathematical Monthly”, “Complex Analysis and Elliptical Equations”, and “The Bulletin of the American Mathematical Monthly”. Krantz is also known for his wide breadth of expertise in several areas of mathematics such as harmonica analysis, differential geometry, and Lie groups, to name a few. Notable awards include Chauvenet Prize (1992), Beckenbach Book Award (1994), Kemper Prize (1994), Outstanding Academic Book Award (1998), Washington University Faculty Mentor Award (2007).
