The Bayreuth meeting on "Complex Algebraic Varieties"
focussed on the classification of algebraic varieties and
topics such as vector bundles, Hodge theory and hermitian
differential geometry. Most of the articles in this volume
are closely related to talks given at the conference: all
are original, fully refereed research articles.
