Abstract
Much, though not all, of the material in my chapter has already been published in journals that are likely to be as accessible as this book. There is a constant temptation to repeat oneself in print; with the aim of avoiding this temptation, I have kept most of my presentation to the bare bones, adding flesh in those places where the work is not already published or where new avenues of investigation seem to me to be ready for study. The emphasis here is on the mathematical development of the subject; various kind of applications are discussed in the light of available data elsewhere (and references are given to these works, without repeating the presentation here).
