Foreword

The international conference “Complex Analysis and Related Topics 2018” (CART 2018) took place from April 23 to April 27, 2018, at the Euler International Mathematical Institute in Saint Petersburg. It was the second edition of the conference of the same name which took place in Saint Petersburg in 2014. The aim of the conference was to bring together leading experts from different branches of Complex Analysis and its applications. The scope of the conference encompassed the whole spectrum of problems in contemporary Complex Analysis as well as topics in Functional and Harmonic Analysis, Operator Theory, Geometry, Topology and Dynamical Systems inspired by or related to various Complex Analysis problems. Among the main themes of the conference one could mention the following: • Zero sets and interpolation in spaces of analytic functions; • Operators in spaces of analytic functions (such as shifts, Toeplitz and Hankel, truncated Toeplitz, etc.) and their spectral properties; • Approximation theory (including Padé) in the complex plane; and orthogonal polynomials for planar measures; • Functions of several complex variables and applications to complex geometry (including the problems of holomorphic immersion); • Applications to harmonic analysis and spectral theory of differential operators.
