abstract: The following will be covered in various level of detail. 1.Basic facts on compact complex homogeneous spaces $Z=GP$ of complex semi-simple groups $G$. 2.Complex geometry of orbits in $Z$ of real forms $G0$ of $G$. 3.Recently proved precise descriptions of cycle spaces of open $G0$-orbits. 4.Examples of (Andreotti-Norguet) transfer from the cohomology of $G0$-orbits to the function theory level of the associated cycle domains. Numerous open problems will be suggested.
