The authors study the method of scaling in the context of the study of automorphism groups of complex domains in multiple dimensions. Various types of scaling techniques are compared and contrasted. Applications are given in a number of…

We extend in this paper several results of E. Kirchberg, S. Wassermann and the author dealing with continuous fields of C*--algebras to the semi-continuous case. We provide a new characterisation of separable lower semi-continuity…

We give a new characterization of pseudoconvex point, and of finite type point, using analytic discs.

In this paper we make some observations concerning m-metric spaces and point out some discrepancies in the proofs found in the literature. To remedy this, we propose a new topological construction and prove that it is in fact a…

For each positive integer k, we describe a map f from the complex plane to a suitable non-complete complex locally convex space such that f is k times continuously complex differentiable but not k+1 times, and hence not complex analytic. We…

Thanks to recent advances in parametric geometry of numbers, we know that the spectrum of any set of $m$ exponents of Diophantine approximation to points in $\mathbb{R}^n$ (in a general abstract setting) is a compact connected subset of…

This is a survey paper about a selection of results in complex algebraic geometry that appeared in the recent and less recent litterature, and in which rational homogeneous spaces play a prominent r{\^o}le. This selection is largely…

In a complete metric space that is equipped with a doubling measure and supports a Poincar\'e inequality, we prove a new Cartan-type property for the fine topology in the case $p=1$. Then we use this property to prove the existence of…

Over the function field of a complex algebraic curve, strong approximation off a non-empty finite set of places holds for the complement of a codimension $2$ closed subset in a homogeneous space under a semisimple algebraic group, and for…

Let $X$ be an analytic subset of $U\times C^n$ of pure dimension $k$ such that the projection of $X$ onto $U$ is a proper mapping, where $U$ is a Runge domain in $C^k$. We show that $X$ can be approximated by algebraic sets.

We take a unifying and new approach toward polynomial and trigonometric approximation in an arbitrary number of variables, resulting in a precise and general ready-to-use tool that anyone can easily apply in new situations of interest. The…

The question in the title is discussed briefly, with emphasis on a few basic examples and their properties.

In this article we introduce a generalization of locally conformally Kaehler metrics from complex manifolds to complex analytic spaces with singularities and study which properties of locally conformally Kaehler manifolds still hold in this…

Let k be at most 0, and let X be a locally-finite CAT(k) polyhedral 2-complex X, each face with constant curvature k. Let E be a closed, rectifiably-connected subset of X with trivial first singular homology. We show that E, under the…

In the first part of this note, we review results concerning analytic characterization of convexity for planar sets. The second part is devoted to results valid for arbitrary $m \ge 2$.

A new subspace of Morrey spaces whose elements can be approximated by infinitely differentiable compactly supported functions is introduced. Consequently, we give an explicit description of the closure of the set of such functions in Morrey…

These are notes from talks given at ICMS, Edinburgh, 4/2007 ("Geometry and Algorithms workshop") and at Bernoulli Center, Lausanne 5/2007 ("Limits of graphs in group theory and computer science"). We survey the following type of dichotomies…

This is an informal set of lecture notes on moduli spaces of curves based on a set of lectures given at the ICTP last summer. It begins at an elementary level and discusses the genus 1 case in detail. The notes then give an informal…

New measures for the quantization of systems with constraints are discussed and applied to several examples, in particular, examples of alternative but equivalent formulations of given first-class constraints, as well as a comparison of…

In this article a class of closed convex sets in the Euclidean $n$-space which are the convex hull of their profiles is described. Thus a generalization of Krein-Milman theorem\cite{Lay:1982} to a class of closed non-compact convex sets is…
