Title

Tangential Cauchy-Riemann Equations: Its Origins and Some More Recent Developments

Abstract

It is quite well known, and surely not surprising, that–in analogy to multivariable real calculus–classical complex analysis, and in particular the Cauchy-Riemann equations,generalize to several complex variables. One of the many new phenomena of the higher dimensional theory involves the restriction of the Cauchy-Riemann equations to lower dimensional submanifolds of complex Euclidean space and related abstract versions. We shall discuss the basic concepts, review some little known historical details, and describe some intriguing examples and fundamental problems and results.
