This is a survey of recent contributions to the area of special Kähler geometry. A (pseudo-)Kähler manifold ( M , J , g ) is a differentiable manifold endowed with a complex structure J and a (pseudo-)Riemannian metric g such that i) J is orthogonal with respect to the metric g , ii) J is parallel with respect to the Levi Civita connection D . A special Kähler manifold ( M , J , g , ) is a Kähler manifold ( M , J , g ) together with a flat torsionfree connection such that i) ω = 0 , where ω = g ( . , J . ) is the Kähler form and ii) is symmetric. A holomorphic immersion φ : M V is called Kählerian if φ γ is nondegenerate and it is called Lagrangian if φ Ω = 0 . Theorem 1. Let φ : M V be a Kählerian Lagrangian immersion with induced geometric data ( g , ) . Then ( M , J , g , ) is a special Kähler manifold. Conversely, any simply connected sp!
