The book ends with a very rich bibliography containing 310 titles of important papers relating to the subject. Taking into account the very rigorous and didactic presentation of the contents, as well as the importance of the subject, we consider this book to be a valuable contribution to present ma
We study the symplectic geometry of submanifolds of a manifold P equipped with a Kihler metric of non-positive curvature. We show that totally geodesic complex or isotropic submanifolds of P are standard.
