Focusing on the CR invariants, hyperbolic geometry, and various problems akin to the Laplacian, such as harmonic maps and Yamabe-type problems, 15 papers report on original research of interest to research mathematicians in differential geometry and complex analysis, theoretical physicists, and graduate students in those disciplines. Among the specific topics are the invariant theory of parabolic geometries, Pfaffian systems in finite monodromy, and homogeneous Einstein metrics on a principal circle bundle.
