On the Removable Singularities for Meromorphic Mappings
math.CV
If E is a nonempty closed subset of the locally finite Hausdorff (2n-2)-measure on an n-dimensional complex manifold M and all points of E are nonremovable for a meromorphic mapping of M \ E into a compact K\"ahler manifold, then E is a pure (n-1)-dimensional complex analytic subset of M.

Zero sets of some classes of entire functions

A method of constructing an entire function with given zeros and estimates of growth is suggested. It gives a possibility to describe zero sets of certain classes of entire functions of one and several variables in terms of growth of volume of these sets in certain polycylinders.

Analytic varieties versus integral varieties of Lie algebras of vector fields
math.CV
We associate to any germ of an analytic variety a Lie algebra of tangent vector fields, the {\it tangent algebra}. Conversely, to any Lie algebra of vector fields an analytic germ can be associated, the {\it integral variety}. The paper investigates properties of this correspondence: The set of all tangent algebras is characterized in purely Lie algebra theoretic terms. And it is shown that the tangent algebra determines the analytic type of the variety.

Holomorphic curvature of Finsler metrics and complex geodesics
math.CV
In his famous 1981 paper, Lempert proved that given a point in a strongly convex domain the complex geodesics (i.e., the extremal disks) for the Kobayashi metric passing through that point provide a very useful fibration of the domain. In this paper we address the question whether, given a smooth complex Finsler metric on a complex manifold, it is possible to give purely differential geometric properties of the metric ensuring the existence of such a fibration in complex geodesics of the manifold. We first discuss at some length the notion of holomorphic sectional curvature for a complex Finsler metric; then, using the differential equation of complex geodesics we obtained in a previous paper, we show that for every pair (point, tangent vector) there is a (only a segment if the metric is not complete) complex geodesic passing through the point tangent to the given vector iff the Finsler metric is K\"ahler, has constant holomorphic sectional curvature -4 and satisfies a simmetry condition on the curvature tensor. Finally, we show that a complex Finsler metric of constant holomorphic sectional curvature -4 satisfying the given simmetry condition on the curvature is necessarily the Kobayashi metric.

Sequences of analytic disks
math.CV
The subject considered in this paper has, at least, three points of interest. Suppose that we have a sequence of one-dimensional analytic varieties in a domain in $\Bbb C^n$. The cluster of this sequence consists from all points in the domains such that every neighbourhood of such points intersects with infinitely many different varieties. The first question is: what analytic properties does the cluster inherit from varieties? We give a sufficient criterion when the cluster contains an analytic disk, but it follows from examples of Stolzenberg and Wermer that, in general, clusters can contain no analytic disks. So we study algebras of continuous function on clusters, which can be approximated by holomorphic functions or polynomials, and show that this algebras possess some analytic properties in all but explicitly pathological and uninteresting cases. Secondly, we apply and results about clusters to polynomial hulls and maximal functions, finding remnants of analytic structures there too. And, finally, due to more and more frequent appearances of analytic disks as tools in complex analysis, it seems to be interesting to look at their sequences to establish terminology, basic notation and properties.

The Green function of Teichmüller spaces with applications
math.CV
We describe briefly a new approach to some problems related to Teichm\"uller spaces, invariant metrics, and extremal quasiconformal maps. This approach is based on the properties of plurisubharmonic functions, especially of the plurisubharmonic Green function. The main theorem gives an explicit representation of the Green function for Teichm\"uller spaces by the Kobayashi-Teichm\"uller metric of these spaces. This leads to various applications. In particular, this gives a new characterization of extremal quasiconformal maps.

Radó theorem and its generalization for CR-mappings
math.CV
The following theorem is proved: Let M be a locally Lipschitz hypersurface in C^n with one-sided extension property at each point (e.g., without analytic discs). Let S be a closed subset of M and f : M \ S ---> C^m \ E is a CR-mapping of class L^{\infty} such that the cluster set of f on S along of Lebesque points of f is contained in a closed complete pluripolar set E. Then there is a CR-mapping \~f : M ---> C^m of class L^{\infty}(M) such that \~f |M\S = f. It follows also that S is removable for CR \cap L^{\infty} (M \ S).

Complexity of the classical kernel functions of potential theory
math.CV
We show that the Bergman, Szego, and Poisson kernels associated to a finitely connected domain in the plane are all composed of finitely many easily computed functions of one variable. The new formulas give rise to new methods for computing the Bergman and Szeg\H o kernels in which all integrals used in the computations are line integrals; at no point is an integral with respect to area measure required. The results mentioned so far can be interpreted as saying that the kernel functions are simpler than one might expect. However, we also prove that the kernels cannot be too simple by showing that the only finitely connected domains in the plane whose Bergman or Szeg\H o kernels are rational functions are the obvious ones. This leads to a proof that the classical Green's function associated to a finitely connected domain in the plane is the logarithm of a rational function if and only if the domain is simply connected and rationally equivalent to the unit disc.

Moduli of bounded holomorphic functions in the ball
math.CV
We prove that there is a continuous non-negative function $g$ on the unit sphere in $\cd$, $d \geq 2$, whose logarithm is integrable with respect to Lebesgue measure, and which vanishes at only one point, but such that no non-zero bounded analytic function $m$ in the unit ball, with boundary values $m^\star$, has $|m^\star| \leq g$ almost everywhere. The proof analyzes the common range of co-analytic Toeplitz operators in the Hardy space of the ball.

Complex Finsler metrics
math.CV
In this paper we describe an approach to complex Finsler metrics suitable to deal with global questions, and stressing the similarities between hermitian and complex Finsler metrics. Let $F$ be a smooth complex Finsler metric on a complex manifold $M$, and assume that the indicatrices of $F$ are strongly pseudoconvex -- we shall say that $F$ itself is strongly pseudoconvex. The vertical bundle $\cal V$ is the kernel of the differential of the canonical projection of the holomorphic tangent bundle of $M$. Using $F$, it is possible to endow $\cal V$ with a hermitian metric; let $D$ be the Chern connection associated to this metric. It turns out that there is a canonical way to build starting from $D$ a horizontal bundle $\cal H$, as well as a bundle isomorphism $\Theta\colon{\cal V}\to\cal H$. Using $\Theta$ we may transfer both the metric and the connection on $\cal H$; furthermore, there is a canonical isometric embedding $\chi$ of the holomorphic tangent bundle of $M$ into $\cal H$. Our idea is that the Finsler geometry of $M$ can be studied applying standard hermitian techniques to $\cal H$ using $\chi$ to transfer back and forth problems and solutions. To support this claim, in this paper we discuss Bianchi identities, K\"ahler conditions, the first and second variation formulas, geodesics and holomorphic curvature. Furthermore, we provide a sound geometric interpretation to our previous work on the existence of complex geodesic curves. Finally, we prove that in complex K\"ahler Finsler manifolds with constant nonpositive holomorphic curvature (and satisfying an additional symmetry property on the curvature) the complex geodesic curves define a nice fibration of the manifold, completely analogous to the one described by Lempert in strongly convex domains.

Quasiconformal Homeomorphisms on CR 3-Manifolds With Symmetries
math.CV
An extremal quasiconformal homeomorphisms in a class of homeomorphisms between two CR 3-manifolds is an one which has the least conformal distortion among this class. This paper studies extremal quasiconformal homeomorphisms between CR 3-manifolds which admit transversal CR circle actions. Equivariant $K$-quasiconformal homeomorphisms are characterized by an area-preserving property and the $K$-quasiconformality of their quotient maps on the spaces of $S^1$-orbits. A large family of invariant CR structures on $S^3$ is constructed so that the extremal quasiconformal homeomorphisms among the equivariant mappings between them and the standard structure are completely determined. These homeomorphisms also serve as examples showing that the extremal quasiconformal homeomorphisms between two invariant CR manifolds are not necessarily equivariant.

Regularity And Extremality Of Quasiconformal Homeomorphisms On CR 3-Manifolds
math.CV
This paper first studies the regularity of conformal homeomorphisms on smooth locally embeddable strongly pseudoconvex CR manifolds. Then moduli of curve families are used to estimate the maximal dilatations of quasiconformal homeomorphisms. On certain CR 3-manifolds, namely, CR circle bundles over flat tori, extremal quasiconformal homeomorphisms in some homotopy classes are constructed. These extremal mappings have similar behaviors to Teichm\"uller mappings on Riemann surfaces.

Pseudo-periodic homeomorphisms and degeneration of Riemann surfaces
math.CV
We will announce two theorems. The first theorem will classify all topological types of degenerate fibers appearing in one-parameter families of Riemann surfaces, in terms of ``pseudoperiodic'' surface homeomorphisms. The second theorem will give a complete set of conjugacy invariants for the mapping classes of such homeomorphisms. This latter result implies that Nielsen's set of invariants [{\it Surface transformation classes of algebraically finite type}, Collected Papers 2, Birkh\"auser (1986)] is not complete.

CR manifolds with noncompact connected automorphism groups
math.CV
The main result of this paper is that the identity component of the automorphism group of a compact, connected, strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold is compact unless the manifold is CR equivalent to the standard sphere. In dimensions greater than 3, it has been pointed out by D. Burns that this result follows from known results on biholomorphism groups of complex manifolds with boundary and the fact that any such CR manifold M can be realized as the boundary of an analytic variety. When M is 3-dimensional, Burns's proof breaks down because abstract CR 3-manifolds are generically not realizable as boundaries. This paper provides an intrinsic proof of compactness that works in any dimension.

Continuity of the complex Monge-Ampere operator
math.CV
The complex Monge-Amp\`ere operator $(dd^c)^n$ is an important tool in complex analysis. It would be interesting to find the right notion of convergence $u_j\to u$ such that $(dd^cu_j)^n\to (dd^cu)^n$ in the weak topology. In this paper, using the $C_{n-1}$-capacity, we give a sufficient condition of the weak convergence $(dd^cu_j)^n\to (dd^cu)^n$. We also show that our condition is quite sharp in some case.

Global (and Local) Analyticity for Second Order Operators Constructed from Rigid Vector Fields on Products of Tori
math.CV
We prove global analytic hypoellipticity on a product of tori for partial differential operators which are constructed as rigid (variable coefficient) quadratic polynomials in real vector fields satisfying the H\"ormander condition and where $P$ satisfies a `maximal' estimate. We also prove an analyticity result that is local in some variables and global in others for operators whose prototype is $$ P= \left({\partial \over {\partial x_1}}\right)^2 + \left({\partial \over {\partial x_2}}\right)^2 + \left(a(x_1,x_2){\partial \over {\partial t}}\right)^2.$$ (with analytic $a(x), a(0)=0,$ naturally, but not identically zero). The results, because of the flexibility of the methods, generalize recent work of Cordaro and Himonas in \cite{Cordaro-Himonas 1994} and Himonas in \cite{Himonas 199X} which showed that certain operators known not to be locally analytic hypoelliptic (those of Baouendi and Goulaouic \cite{Baouendi-Goulaouic 1971}, Hanges and Himonas \cite{Hanges-Himonas 1991}, and Christ \cite{Christ 1991a}) were {\it globally} analytic hypoelliptic on products of tori.

Unbounded Symmetric Homogeneous Domains in Spaces of Operators
math.CV
We define the domain of a linear fractional transformation in a space of operators and show that both the affine automorphisms and the compositions of symmetries act transitively on these domains. Further, we show that Liouville's theorem holds for domains of linear fractional transformations, and, with an additional trace class condition, so does the Riemann removable singularities theorem. We also show that every biholomorphic mapping of the operator domain $I < Z^*Z$ is a linear isometry when the space of operators is a complex Jordan subalgebra of ${\cal L}(H)$ with the removable singularity property and that every biholomorphic mapping of the operator domain $I + Z_1^*Z_1 < Z_2^*Z_2$ is a linear map obtained by multiplication on the left and right by J-unitary and unitary operators, respectively. Readers interested only in the finite dimensional case may identify our spaces of operators with spaces of square and rectangular matrices.

On extremal mappings in complex ellipsoids

In the paper we generalize the notion of problem (P) introduced by Poletsky. We introduce the notion of (P_m) extremals. For example, geodesics are (P_1) extremals. Using obtained results we present a description of (P_m) extremals in arbitrary complex ellipsoids. It is a generalization of the result obtained by Jarnicki-Pflug-Zeinstra. We also have a proof of conjecture put forward by Pflug-Zwonek concerning the formulas for geodesics in non-convex complex ellipsoids.

Regularity of CR mappings between algebraic hypersurfaces
math.CV
We prove that if $M$ and $M'$ are algebraic hypersurfaces in $ C^ N$, i.e. both defined by the vanishing of real polynomials, then any sufficiently smooth CR mapping with Jacobian not identically zero extends holomorphically provided the hypersurfaces are holomorphically nondegenerate . Conversely, we prove that holomorphic nondegeneracy is necessary for this property of CR mappings to hold. For the case of unequal dimensions, we also prove that if $M$ is an algebraic hypersurface in $ C^N$ which does not contain any complex variety of positive codimension and $M'$ is the sphere in $ C^{N+1 }$ , then extendability holds for all CR mappings with certain minimal a priori regularity. Theorem A. Let $M$ and $M'$ be two algebraic hypersurfaces in $C^N$ and assume that $M$ is connected and holomorphically nondegenerate. If $H$ is a smooth CR mapping from $M$ to $M'$ with $ Jac H \not\equiv 0$, where $Jac H$ is the Jacobian determinant of $H$, then $H$ extends holomorphically in an open neighborhood of $M$ in $ C^N$. A recent example given by Ebenfelt shows that the conclusion of Theorem A need not hold if $M$ is real analytic, but not algebraic. Theorem B. Let $M$ be a connected real analytic hypersurface in $C^N$ which is holomorphically degenerate at some point $p_1$. Let $p_0 \in M$ and suppose there exists a germ at $p_0$ of a smooth CR function on $M$ which does not extend holomorphically to any full neighborhood of $p_0$ in $C^N$. Then there exists a germ at $p_0$ of a smooth CR diffeomorphism from $M$ into itself, fixing $p_0$, which does not extend holomorphically to any neighborhood of $p_0$ in $C^N$. Theorem C. Let $M\subset C^N$ be an algebraic hypersurface. Assume that there is no nontrivial complex analytic variety contained in $M$ through $p_0 \in M$, and let $m=m_{p_0}$ be the D'Angelo type. If $H: M \to S^{2N+1}\subset C^{N+1}$ is a CR map of class $C^m$, where $S^{2N+1}$ denotes the boundary of the unit ball in $C^{N+1 }$, then $H$ admits a holomorphic extension in a neighborhood of $p_0$.

Fixed points of elliptic reversible transformations with integrals
math.CV
We show that for a certain family of integrable reversible transformations, the curves of periodic points of a general transformation cross the level curves of its integrals. This leads to the divergence of the normal form for a general reversible transformation with integrals. We also study the integrable holomorphic reversible transformations coming from real analytic surfaces in C^2 with non-degenerate complex tangents. We show the existence of real analytic surfaces with hyperbolic complex tangents, which are contained in a real hyperplane, but cannot be transformed into the Moser-Webster normal form through any holomorphic transformation.

Divergence of the normalization for real Lagrangian surfaces near complex tangents
math.CV
We study real Lagrangian analytic surfaces in C^2 with a non-degenerate complex tangent. Webster proved that all such surfaces can be transformed into a quadratic surface by formal symplectic transformations of C^2. We show that there is a certain dense set of real Lagrangian surfaces which cannot be transformed into the quadratic surface by any holomorphic (convergent) transformation of C^2. The divergence is contributed by the parabolic character of a pair of involutions generated by the real Lagrangian surfaces.

Integrable analytic vector fields with a nilpotent linear part
math.CV
We study the normalization of integrable analytic vector fields with a nilpotent linear part. We prove that such an analytic vector field can be transformed into a certain form by convergent transformations when it has a non-singular formal integral. In particular, we show that a formally linearizable analytic vector field with a nilpotent linear part is linearizable by convergent transformations. We then prove that there are smoothly linearizable parabolic analytic transformations which cannot be embedded into the flow of any analytic vector field with a nilpotent linear part.

Unimodular invariants of totally real tori in C^n

We consider only totally real manifolds which admits a certain fibration over the circle. We find a complete set of invariants for totally real tori in C^n which are close to the standard torus. The invariants are obtained by an analogous classification of complex-valued analytic $n$-forms on the standard torus. We also study the realization of certain exact complex-valued analytic $n$-forms on the standard torus through non-critical totally real embeddings.

We also extend our earlier approximation results of to general combinatorial patterns of tangencies in Bl-packings. Finally, a branched version of the Discrete Uniformization Theorem of Beardon and Stephenson is given.

The Several Complex Variables Problem List

We are interested both in basic research questions as well as interactive questions with other fields and sciences. We encourage everybody to submit problems to the list. This includes not only those coming up in your own work, but also others- maybe well known and classical- that you see missing, but that you think workers in the field should be aware of. Not only are we searching for basic research type questions in several complex variables, we also solicit questions exploring relations to other mathematical fields, one complex variable, partial differential equations, differential geometry, dynamics, etc. and to other sciences such as physics, engineering, biology etc. While some questions fall rather naturally into one of the subject areas in this problem list and may lead to a publishable paper, other questions may be non- specific or of a transient or technical quality. Thus we have a section called ``Scratchpad'' for conversational questions, vaguely formulated questions, or questions to which you may hope to get a quick answer. In the ``open prize problems'' section, you are welcome to offer a nice little prize to whoever does it. The miscellaneous section is for announcements of conferences, jokes, remarks on the general state of the field, etc.

Algebraicity of holomorphic mappings between real algebraic sets in ${\bold C}^n$
math.CV
We give conditions under which a germ of a holomorphic mapping in $\Bbb C^N$, mapping an irreducible real algebraic set into another of the same dimension, is actually algebraic. Let $A\subset \bC^N$ be an irreducible real algebraic set. Assume that there exists $\po \in A$ such that $A$ is a minimal, generic, holomorphically nondegenerate submanifold at $\po$. We show here that if $H$ is a germ at $p_1 \in A$ of a holomorphic mapping from $\bC^N$ into itself, with Jacobian $H$ not identically $0$, and $H(A)$ contained in a real algebraic set of the same dimension as $A$, then $H$ must extend to all of $\bC^N$ (minus a complex algebraic set) as an algebraic mapping. Conversely, we show that for any ``model case'' (i.e., $A$ given by quasi-homogeneous real polynomials), the conditions on $A$ are actually necessary for the conclusion to hold.

A stabilization theorem for Hermitian forms and applications to holomorphic mappings

We consider positivity conditions both for real-valued functions of several complex variables and for Hermitian forms. We prove a stabilization theorem relating these two notions, and give some applications to proper mappings between balls in different dimensions. The technique of proof relies on the simple expression for the Bergman kernel function for the unit ball and elementary facts about Hilbert spaces. Our main result generalizes to Hermitian forms a theorem proved by Polya [HLP] for homogeneous real polynomials, which was obtained in conjunction with Hilbert's seventeenth problem. See [H] and [R] for generalizations of Polya's theorem of a completely different kind. The flavor of our applications is also completely different.

Interpolating sequences for weighted Bergman spaces of the ball
math.CV
Let $B_{\alpha}^{p}$ be the space of $f$ holomorphic in the unit ball of $\Bbb C^n$ such that $(1-|z|^2)^\alpha f(z) \in L^p$, where $0<p\leq\infty$, $\alpha\geq -1/p$ (weighted Bergman space). In this paper we study the interpolating sequences for various $B_{\alpha}^{p}$. The limiting cases $\alpha=-1/p$ and $p=\infty$ are respectively the Hardy spaces $H^p$ and $A^{-\alpha}$, the holomorphic functions with polynomial growth of order $\alpha$, which have generated particular interest. In \S 1 we first collect some definitions and well-known facts about weighted Bergman spaces and then introduce the natural interpolation problem, along with some basic properties. In \S 2 we describe in terms of $\alpha$ and $p$ the inclusions between $B_{\alpha}^{p}$ spaces, and in \S 3 we show that most of these inclusions also hold for the corresponding spaces of interpolating sequences. \S 4 is devoted to sufficient conditions for a sequence to be $B_{\alpha}^{p}$-interpolating, expressed in the same terms as the conditions given in previous works of Thomas for the Hardy spaces and Massaneda for $A^{-\alpha}$. In particular we show, under some restrictions on $\alpha$ and $p$, that finite unions of $B_{\alpha}^{p}$-interpolating sequences coincide with finite unions of separated sequences. In his article in Inventiones, Seip implicitly gives a characterization of interpolating sequences for all weighted Bergman spaces in the disk. We spell out the details for the reader's convenience in an appendix (\S 5).

Divergence of projective structures and lengths of measured laminations

In course of arguments, we extend the concept of realization of laminations for PSL$(2,{\mathbf C})$-representations of surface groups.

On the defect of an analytic disc
math.CV
Although the concept of defect of an analytic disc attached to a generic manifold of $\C^{n}$ seems to play a merely technical role, it turns out to be a rather deep and fruitful notion for the extendability of CR functions defined on the manifold. In this paper we give a new geometric description of defect, drawing attention to the behaviour of the interior points of the disc by infinitesimal perturbations. For hypersurfaces a stronger result holds because these perturbations describe a complex vector space of $\C^{n}$. For a big analytic disc the defect does not need to be smaller than the codimension of the manifold. Indeed we show by an example that it can be arbitrarily large independently of the codimension of the manifold. Nevertheless we also prove that the defect is always finite. In the case of a hypersurface we give a geometric upper bound for the defect.

Defect and evaluations
math.CV
Let $S$ be a generic submanifold of $C^N$ of real codimension m. In this work we continue the study, carried over by various authors, of the set of analytic discs attached to S. Let $M$ be the set of analytic discs attached to $S.$ Given $q \in S$ let $M_q$ be the set of discs $\phi$ in M such that $\phi_(1).$ B. Trepreau and other authors gave sufficient conditions for $M$ to be a manifold in a neighborhood of a given disc. We give conditions for $M_q$ to be a manifold. When this conditions are satisfied we look at the map on $M$ given by $\phi \rightarrow \phi(0),$ and we describe the image of its differential, (in particular we determine its dimension). We then do the same for the map $\phi \rightarrow \phi(-1)$ on $M_q.$ For example we find as a corollary that if S has only minimal points, then there exists an open dense subset $Omega$ in M such that the restriction of the map $\phi \rightarrow \phi(0)$ to $\Omega$ is an open map with value in $C^N.$

On totally real spheres in complex space
math.CV
We shall prove that there are totally real and real analytic embeddings of $S^k$ in $\cc^n$ which are not biholomorphically equivalent if $k\geq 5$ and $n=k+2[\frac{k-1}{4}]$. We also show that a smooth manifold $M$ admits a totally real immersion in $\cc^n$ with a trivial complex normal bundle if and only if the complexified tangent bundle of $M$ is trivial. The latter is proved by applying Gromov's weak homotopy equivalence principle for totally real immersions to Hirsch's transversal fields theory.

On the boundary orbit accumulation set for a domain with non-compact automorphism group
math.CV
For a smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domain $D\subset{\Bbb C}^n$ of finite type with non-compact holomorphic automorphism group $\text{Aut}(D)$, we show that the set $S(D)$ of all boundary accumulation points for $\text{Aut}(D)$ is a compact subset of $\partial D$ and, if $S(D)$ contains at least three points, it is connected and thus has the power of the continuum. We also discuss how $S(D)$ relates to other invariant subsets of $\partial D$ and show in particular that $S(D)$ is always a subset of the \v{S}ilov boundary.

A Carleman type theorem for proper holomorphic embeddings
math.CV
In 1927, Carleman showed that a continuous, complex-valued function on the real line can be approximated in the Whitney topology by an entire function restricted to the real line. In this paper, we prove a similar result for proper holomorphic embeddings. Namely, we show that a proper $\cC^r$ embedding of the real line into $\C^n$ can be approximated in the strong $\cC^r$ topology by a proper holomorphic embedding of $\C$ into $\C^n$.

Fuchsian Groups, Quasiconformal Groups, and Conical Limit Sets

This is in contrast to the cases of Fuchsian groups acting on the disc, conformal groups acting discontinuously on the ball in dimension three or higher, uniformly quasiconformal groups acting discontinuously on the ball in dimension three or higher, and discrete groups of biholomorphic mappings acting on the ball in several complex dimensions. In these cases the normalized Lebesgue measure is either zero or one.

Singularities of the Bergman kernel for certain weakly pseudoconvex domains
math.CV
Consider the Bergman kernel $K^B(z)$ of the domain $\ellip = \{z \in \Comp^n ; \sum_{j=1}^n |z_j|^{2m_j}<1 \}$, where $m=(m_1,\ldots,m_n) \in \Natl^n$ and $m_n \neq 1$. Let $z^0 \in \partial \ellip$ be any weakly pseudoconvex point, $k \in \Natl$ the degenerate rank of the Levi form at $z^0$. An explicit formula for $K^B(z)$ modulo analytic functions is given in terms of the polar coordinates $(t_1, \ldots, t_k, r)$ around $z^0$. This formula provides detailed information about the singularities of $K^B(z)$, which improves the result of A. Bonami and N. Lohou\'e \cite{bol}. A similar result is established also for the Szeg\"o kernel $K^S(z)$ of $\ellip$.

Breakdown of analyticity for d-bar-b and Szego kernels

Gleason's problem in weighted Bergman space on egg domains

The proof will need the help of the recent work of the second named author on the weighted Bergman projections on this kind of domain. As an application, we obtain a multiplier theorem on the egg domains.

Sampling sets for Hardy spaces of the disk
math.CV
We propose two possible definitions for the notion of a sampling sequence (or set) for Hardy spaces of the disk. The first one is inspired by recent work of Bruna, Nicolau, and \O yma about interpolating sequences in the same spaces, and it yields sampling sets which do not depend on the value of $p$ and correspond to the result proved for bounded functions ($p=\infty$) by Brown, Shields and Zeller. The second notion, while formally closer to the one used for weighted Bergman spaces, is shown to lead to trivial situations only, but raises a possibly interesting problem.

Asymptotic expansion of the Bergman kernel for weakly pseudoconvex tube domains in C^2
math.CV
In this paper we give an asymptotic expansion of the Bergman kernel for certain weakly pseudoconvex tube domains of finite type in C^2. Our asymptotic formula asserts that the singularity of the Bergman kernel at weakly pseudoconvex points is essentially expressed by using two variables; moreover certain real blowing-up is necessary to understand its singularity. The form of the asymptotic expansion with respect to each variable is similar to that in the strictly pseudoconvex case due to C. Fefferman. We also give an analogous result in the case of the Szego kernel.

Defects for Ample Divisors of Abelian Varieties, Schwarz Lemma, and Hyperbolic Hypersurfaces of Low Degrees

The main purpose of this paper is to prove the following theorem on the defect relations for ample divisors of abelian varieties. Main Theorem. Let $A$ be an abelian variety of complex dimension $n$ and $D$ be an ample divisor in $A$. Let $f:{\bf C}\rightarrow A$ be a holomorphic map. Then the defect for the map $f$ and the divisor $D$ is zero. Corollary to Main Theorem. The complement of an ample divisor $D$ in an abelian variety $A$ is hyperbolic in the sense that there is no nonconstant holomorphic map from $\bf C$ to $A-D$.

We also give an example that explains why such a setting is natural for the case of hyperbolic domains and an example that indicates that the situation in C^n for n greater than or equal to 3 is essentially more complicated than that in C^2.

The involutive structure on the blow-up of R^n in C^n
math.CV
We investigate the natural involutive structure on the blow-up of ${\Bbb R}^n$ in ${\Bbb C}^n$ extending the complex structure on the complement of the exceptional hypersurface. Our main result is that this structure is hypocomplex, meaning that any solution is locally a holomorphic function of a basic set of independent solutions. We show this by an elementary power series argument but note that the result is essentially equivalent to the Edge of the Wedge Theorem. In particular, we obtain a relatively simple new proof of this classical theorem.

This construction, coupled with regularity of solutions of complex Monge-Ampere equation and the reflection principle, enables us to give a new proof of the Fefferman mapping theorem.

Domains with Non-Compact Automorphism Group: A Survey

Beginning with a well-known characterization of the unit ball, we develop ideas toward a consideration of weakly pseudoconvex (and even non-pseudoconvex) domains with particular emphasis on characterizations of (i) smoothly bounded domains with non-compact automorphism group and (ii) the Levi geometry of boundary orbit accumulation points. Particular attention will be paid to results derived in the past ten years.

The Julia-Wolff-Caratheodory theorem in polydisks
math.CV
The classical Julia-Wolff-Caratheodory theorem gives a condition ensuring the existence of the non-tangential limit of both a bounded holomorphic function and its derivative at a given boundary point of the unit disk in the complex plane. This theorem has been generalized by Rudin to holomorphic maps between unit balls in C^n, and by the author to holomorphic maps between strongly (pseudo)convex domains. Here we describe Julia-Wolff-Caratheodory theorems for holomorphic maps defined in a polydisk and with image either in the unit disk, or in another polydisk, or in a strongly convex domain. One of main tool for the proof is a general version of Lindelof's principle valid for not necessarily bounded holomorphic functions.

Parametrization of local biholomorphisms of real analytic hypersurfaces
math.CV
Let $M$ be a real analytic hypersurface in $\bC^N$ which is finitely nondegenerate, a notion that can be viewed as a generalization of Levi nondegenerate, at $p_0\in M$. We show that if $M'$ is another such hypersurface and $p'_0\in M'$, then the set of germs at $p_0$ of biholomorphisms $H$ with $H(M)\subset M'$ and $H(p_0)=p'_0$, equipped with its natural topology, can be naturally embedded as a real analytic submanifold in the complex jet group of $\bC^N$ of the appropriate order. We also show that this submanifold is defined by equations that can be explicitly computed from defining equations of $M$ and $M'$. Thus, $(M,p_0)$ and $(M',p'_0)$ are biholomorphically equivalent if and only if this (infinite) set of equations in the complex jet group has a solution. Another result obtained in this paper is that any invertible formal map $H$ that transforms $(M,p_0)$ to $(M',p'_0)$ is convergent. As a consequence, $(M,p_0)$ and $(M',p'_0)$ are biholomorphically equivalent if and only if they are formally equivalent.

Blow-analytic retraction onto the central fibre

Let X be a complex analytic space and let f:X -> C be a proper complex analytic function with nonsingular generic fibres. By adapting the blowanalytic methods of Kuo we construct a retraction of a neighbourhood of the central fibre f^{-1}(0) onto f^{-1}(0). Our retraction is defined by the flow of a real analytic vector field on an oriented real analytic blow-up of X. Then we describe in terms of this blow-up the associated specialization map and local Milnor fibrations. The method also works in real analytic category.

Positivity conditions for bihomogeneous polynomials
math.CV
In this paper we continue our study of a complex variables version of Hilbert's seventeenth problem by generalizing some of the results from [CD]. Given a bihomogeneous polynomial $f$ of several complex variables that is positive away from the origin, we proved that there is an integer $d$ so that $||z||^{2d} f(z,{\overline z})$ is the squared norm of a holomorphic mapping. Thus, although $f$ may not itself be a squared norm, it must be the quotient of squared norms of holomorphic homogeneous polynomial mappings. The proof required some operator theory on the unit ball. In the present paper we prove that we can replace the squared Euclidean norm by squared norms arising from an orthonormal basis for the space of homogeneous polynomials on any bounded circled pseudoconvex domain of finite type. To do so we prove a compactness result for an integral operator on such domains related to the Bergman kernel function.

Multiplicity of a zero of an analytic function on a trajectory of a vector field
math.CV
Let P(x) be a germ at the origin of an analytic function in C^n, where x = (x_1,..., x_n), and let \xi = \xi_1(x) d/dx_1 + ... + \xi_n(x) d/dx_n be a germ at the origin of an analytic vector field. Suppose that \xi(0) != 0, and let \gamma be a trajectory of \xi through the origin. Suppose that P|_\gamma /\equiv 0, and let \mu(P|_\gamma) be the multiplicity of a zero of P|_\gamma at the origin. Let \xi P = \xi_1 dP/dx_1 + ... + \xi_n dP/dx_n be derivative of P in the direction of \xi, and let \xi^kP be the kth iteration of this derivative. We give a formula (Theorem 1) for \mu(P|_\gamma) in terms of the Euler characteristic of the Milnor fibers defined by a deformation of P, \xi P, ..., \xi^{n-1}P . For a polynomial P of degree p and a vector field \xi with polynomial coefficients of degree q, this allows one to compute \mu(P|_\gamma) in purely algebraic terms (Theorem 2), and to give an estimate (Theorem 3) for \mu(P|_\gamma) in terms of n, p, q, single exponential in n and polynomial in p and q. This estimate improves previous results which were doubly exponential in n.

Let h = \sum h_{\alpha \beta} X^\alpha Y^\beta be a polynomial with complex coefficients. The Lojasiewicz exponent of the gradient of h at infinity is the upper bound of the set of all real \lambda such that |grad h(x, y)| >= c|(x,y)|^\lambda in a neighbourhood of infinity in C^2, for c > 0. We estimate this quantity in terms of the Newton diagram of h. The equality is obtained in the nondegenerate case.

Factorization of proper holomorphic mappings through Thullen Domains
math.CV
In this article, we consider a bounded pseudoconvex domain in ${\bf C}^2$ satifying: (a) it admits a proper holomorphic mapping $f$ onto the unit ball $B^2$, and (b) it is simply connected and has a real analytic boundary. According to [Barletta-Bedford, Indiana U. Math. J, 39(1985), 315-338], the strong pseudconvexity of $B^2$ alone yields that such a domain is "weakly spherical" at the boundary points that are at the same time a smooth point of the branch locus $Z_{df} = \{\det(J_{\bf C} f) = 0\}$. (Notice that [Diederich-Fornaess, Math. Ann., 282 (1988), 681-700] implies that $f$ as well as $Z_{df}$ extends holomorphically across the boundaries.) Our main contribution in this paper is that we have discovered a stronger rigidity (both local and global) in case the target domain is the unit ball. The main results are: THEOREM ("Local Rigidity"): Let $(M,o)$ be a real analytic normalized weakly spherical pointed CR hypersurface in ${\bf C}^2$ of order $k_0 > 1$. Let $(\Sigma, o)$ be the pointed Siegel hypersurface given by the defining equation $Re w - |z|^2 = 0$. If there is a holomorphic mapping $F:(M,o) \to (\Sigma,o)$ for which $o$ is a regular branch point, then (1) $(M,o)$ is defined by the equation $Re w - |z|^{2k_0} = 0$, and (2) $F(z,w)$ is equivalent to $(z,w) \mapsto (z^{k_0},w)$ up to a composition with elements in $Aut (M,o)$ and $Aut (\Sigma,o)$. THEOREM ("Global Rigidity"): Let $D$ and $f:D \to B^2$ be as above, and let $f$ be generically $m$-to-1. Assume that its branch locus $Z_{df}$ admits an analytic component $V$ with the following properties: (1) $f$ is locally a $m$-to-1 branched covering with branch locus $V$ at every point of $V \cap \partial D$; (2) $V \cap \partial D$ is connected and contains no singular point of the variety $Z_{df}$. Then $D$ is biholomorphic to $E_m = \{|z|^{2m} + |w|^2 < 1\}$.

Extension Properties of Meromorphic Mappings with Values in Non-Kahler Manifolds
math.CV
We prove an analogue of E. Levi's Continuity Principle for meromorphic mappings with values in arbitrary compact complex manifolds in place of the Riemann sphere $\cc\pp^1$. The result is achieved by introducing a new extension method for meromorphic mappings. One of the corollaries reads as follows: If a compact complex surface $X$ is not "among the known ones" then for every domain $\Omega $ in a Stein surface every meromorphic mapping $f:\Omega \to X$ is in fact holomorphic and extends as a holomorphic mapping $\hat f:\hat D\to X$ of the envelope of holomorphy $\hat D$ of $D$ into $X$. In this last version also two examples of compact complex maniflds are described with meromoprhic mappings into these manifolds having thin but non-analytic singularity sets.

Normal forms and biholomorphic equivalence of real hypersurfaces in C^3
math.CV
We consider the problem of describing the local biholomorphic equivalence class of a real-analytic hypersurface $M$ at a distinguished point $p_0\in M$ by giving a normal form for such objects. In order for the normal form to carry useful information about the biholomorphic equivalence class, we shall require that the transformation to normal form is unique modulo some finite dimensional group. A classical result due to Chern--Moser gives such a normal form for Levi nondegenerate hypersurfaces. The main results in this paper concern real-analytic hypersurfaces $M$ in $\Bbb C^3$ at certain Levi degenerate points $p_0\in M$, namely points at which $M$ is 2-nondegenerate. We give a partial normal form for all such $(M,p_0)$, i.e. a normal form for the data associated with 2-nondegeneracy. We also give a complete formal normal form for such $(M,p_0)$ under the additional condition that the Levi form has rank one at $p_0$. This result, combined with a recent theorem due to the author, M. S. Baouendi, and L. P. Rothschild stating that formal equivalences between real-analytic finitely nondegenerate hypersurfaces converge, gives a description of the biholomorphic equivalence class of a real-analytic hypersurface in $\Bbb C^3$ at a point of 2-nondegeneracy where the rank of the Levi form is one.

Some new examples and applications appear here as well. The idea is to use the Bergman kernel function and some operator theory to prove purely algebraic theorems about matrices of polynomials. Theorem 1. [Catlin-D'Angelo]. Suppose that $f$ is a bihomogeneous real-valued polynomial on ${\bf C^n}$ of degree $2m$. Then $f$ is positive away from the origin if and only there is an integer $d$ and a holomorphic homogeneous polynomial mapping $A$, whose components span the space of homogeneous polynomials of degree $m+d$, such that $$ ||z||^{2d} f(z,{\overline z}) = ||A(z)||^2.$$ Suppose that $F(z,{\overline z})$ is an $r$ by $r$ matrix whose entries are bihomogeneous polynomials of degree $2m$. Then $F(z,{\overline z})$ is positive-definite at each point $z \ne 0$ if and only if there is an integer $d$ and a holomorphic homogeneous polynomial matrix $A$, whose row vectors span the space of $r$-tuples of homogeneous polynomials of degree $m+d$, such that $$||z||^{2d} F(z,{\overline z}) = A(z)^* A(z).$$

Finite interpolation with minimum uniform norm in C^n

We show that the modulus of the solutions to this problem must approach its least upper bound along a subset of the boundary of the domain large enough to contain the support of a measure whose hull contains a subset of the original $a$ large enough to force the same minimum norm. Furthermore, all the solutions must agree on a variety which also contains this hull. An example is given to show that the inclusions can be strict.
