We prove that a pseudoholomorphic diffeomorphism between two almost complex manifolds with boundaries satisfying some pseudoconvexity type condition cannot map a pseudoholomorphic disc in the boundary to a single point. This can be viewed…

Let $D$ be a bounded homogeneous domain in $\mbb{C}^n$ and let $\Gamma$ be a cyclic discrete subgroup of the automorphism group of $D$. It is shown that the complex space $D/\Gamma$ is Stein.

Suppose that $F$ is a smooth and connected complex surface (not necessarily compact) containing a smooth rational curve $C$ with positive self-intersection. We prove that there exists a neighborhood $U\supset C$ such that any meromorphic…

We show that every strictly pseudoconvex domain $\Omega$ with smooth boundary in a complex manifold $\mathcal{M}$ admits a global defining function, i.e., a smooth plurisubharmonic function $\varphi \colon U \to \mathbb R$ defined on an…

We give sufficient conditions for the quotient of a free, properly discontinuous action on a bounded domain of holomorphy to be a Stein manifold in terms of Poincar\'e series or limit sets for orbits. An immediate consequence is that the…

We build in a given pseudoconvex (Runge) domain $D$ of $\mathbb{C}^N$ a $\mathcal O(D)$ convex set $\Gamma$, every connected component of which is a holomorphically contractible (convex) compact set, enjoying the property that any…

We present a construction of regular Stein neighborhoods of a union of maximally totally real subspaces $M=(A+iI)\mathbb{R}^n$ and $N=\mathbb{R}^n$ in $\mathbb{C}^n$, provided that the entries of a real $n \times n$ matrix $A$ are…

We combine Freedman's topology with Eliashberg's holomorphic theory to construct Stein neighborhood systems in complex surfaces, and use these to study various notions of convexity and concavity. Every tame, topologically embedded 2-complex…

We construct a class of bounded domains, on which the squeezing function is not uniformly bounded from below near a smooth and pseudoconvex boundary point.

We give a potential theoretic characterization for compactness of the dbar-Neumann problem on smooth bounded pseudoconvex domains in C^n.

Let $D_j\subset\Bbb C^{n_j}$ be a pseudoconvex domain and let $A_j\subset D_j$ be a locally pluriregular set, $j=1,...,N$. Put $$ X:=\bigcup_{j=1}^N A_1\times...\times A_{j-1}\times D_j\times A_{j+1}\times ...\times A_N\subset\Bbb…

A flag domain of a real from $G_0$ of a complex semismiple Lie group $G$ is an open $G_0$-orbit $D$ in a (compact) $G$-flag manifold. In the usual way one reduces to the case where $G_0$ is simple. It is known that if $D$ possesses…

Let \pi :Z\to X be a holomorphic submersion of a complex manifold Z onto a complex manifold X and D\Subset X a 1-convex domain with strongly pseudoconvex boundary. We prove that under certain conditions there always exists a spray of \pi…

A question of Poletsky was to know if there exists a thin Hartogs figure such that any of its neighborhoods cannot be imbedded in Stein spaces. In \cite{chirka}, Chirka and Ivashkovitch gave such an example arising in an open complex…

A sufficient condition for the infinite dimensionality of the Bergman space of a pseudoconvex domain is given. This condition holds on any pseudoconvex domain that has at least one smooth boundary point of finite type in the sense of…

In a previous work on the large $|k|$ behavior of complex geometric optics solutions to a system of d-bar equations, we treated in detail the situation when a certain potential is the characteristic function of a strictly convex set with…

It is shown that if the squeezing function tends to one at an h-extendible boundary point of a $\mathcal C^\infty$-smooth, bounded pseudoconvex domain, then the point is strictly pseudoconvex.

In this paper we find regular Stein neighborhoods for a union of totally real planes $M=(A+iI)\mathbb{R}^2$ and $N=\mathbb{R}^2$ in $\mathbb{C}^2$ provided that the entries of a real $2 \times 2$ matrix $A$ are sufficiently small. A key…

On a convex bounded Euclidean domain, the ground state for the Laplacian with Neumann boundary conditions is a constant, while the Dirichlet ground state is log-concave. The Robin eigenvalue problem can be considered as interpolating…

An approach to the enumeration of feasible parameters for strongly regular graphs is described, based on the pair of structural parameters (a,c) and the positive eigenvalue e. The Krein bound ensures that there are only finitely many…
