We give a unified geometric approach to some theorems about primitive elements and palindromes in free groups of rank 2. The geometric treatment gives new proofs of the theorems. This paper is dedicated to Bill Harvey on the occasion of his 65th birthday.

The purpose of this article is to describe three recent structure theorems in the theory of several complex variables and to point out a few of the many applications of these three theorems. In the first section we discuss a characterization of those currents (defined on an open subset of C) which correspond to integration over complex subvarieties. The second section is concerned with the stru...

These are the Kent and Canterbury Hospital portrait, the King's Weston version, and the SurrendenDering portrait. Anyone venturing into the field of Harvey portraiture mu...
