Abstract

This is an extended version of my notes of lectures delivered at Tohoku University in November 1999. Some parts of these notes have already appeared as a review article in the expository journal Suugaku published from the Japanese Mathematical Society. Because of the lack of space, I had to cut off some of the detailed arguments there, which I present in this paper.
