The University of Notre Dame held a symposium on value distribution in several complex variables in 1990. Its purpose was to reflect the growth of this field from its beginning nearly 60 years ago as well as its connections to related areas. These proceedings present the lectures.
High points in the history of value distribution theory of several
complex variables, Wilhelm Stoll; the Nevanlinna error term for coverings,
generically surjective case, William Cherry; on Ahlfor's theory of covering
spaces, David Drasin; capacity and multidimensional moment problem, Gennadi
Henkin and A.A. Shananin; Nevanlinna theorems in push-foreward version,
Shanyu Ji; recent work on nevanlinna theory and diophantine approximation,
Paul Vojta; diophantine approximation and the theory of holomorphic curves,
Pit-Mann Wong; some recent results and problems in the theory of value
distribution, Lo Yang.
