This monograph is based on the work of the author on surface theory con nected with ball uniformizations and arithmetic ball lattices during several years appearing in a lot of special articles. The first four chapters present the heart of this work in a self-contained manner (up to well-known ba sic facts) increased by the new functorial concept of orbital heights living on orbital surfaces. It is extended in chapter 6 to an explicit HURWITZ theory for CHERN numbers of complex algebraic surfaces with the mildest singularities, which are necessary for general application and proofs. The...

As an interesting object of arithmetic, algebraic and analytic geometry the complex ball was born in a paper of the French Mathematician E. PICARD in 1883. In recent developments the ball finds great interest again in the framework of SHIMURA varieties but also in the theory of diophantine equations (asymptotic FERMAT Problem, see ch. VI). At first glance the original ideas and the advanced theories seem to be rather disconnected. With these lectures I try to build a bridge from the analytic origins to the actual research on effective problems of arithmetic algebraic geometry. The best...

This volume comprises lecture notes, survey and research articles originating from the CIMPA Summer School Arithmetic and Geometry around Hypergeometric Functions held at Galatasaray University, Istanbul, June 13-25, 2005. It covers a wide range of topics related to hypergeometric functions, thus giving a broad perspective of the state of the art in the field.
