Abstract

In this paper it is shown that every compact two-dimensional manifold SS, with or without boundary, can be embedded in C3\mathbb C^3 as a smooth submanifold Σ\Sigma in such a way that the polynomially convex hull of Σ\Sigma, though strictly larger than Σ\Sigma, contains no analytic disc.

Comments

An additional open question, concerning rational convexity, along with a partial solution, was added at the end of the paper. Also, one misleading statement in the proof of the main theorem was clarified
