This is a survey of complex analytic implications of recent development in symplectic topology.
Keywords Stein manifolds • Weinstein manifolds • Polynomial convexity • Rational convexityThe interplay between symplectic geometry and complex analysis was explored in our book [10] and since then was further developed, e.g., in [13,42]. Meanwhile, the symplectic side of the story was greatly developed. This, in turn, yields new consequences for complex analysis which we discuss in this survey.To the memory of Gennadi Henkin Y.
