We study bounded pseudoconvex domains in complex Euclidean spaces. We find analytical necessary conditions and geometric sufficient conditions for a domain being of trivial Diederich--Forn\ae ss index (i.e. the index equals to 1). We also…

We show that if the closure of a smooth pseudoconvex domain admits a "sufficiently nice" Stein neighborhood basis, then the d-bar Neumann problem on the domain is globally regular.

We show that the Poincar\'{e} inequality holds on an open set $D\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ if and only if $D$ admits a smooth, bounded function whose Laplacian has a positive lower bound on $D$. Moreover, we prove that the existence of such a…

Let D be a smoothly bounded domain in a complex vector space of dimension n. Suppose that D has a smooth defining function, such that the sum of any q eigenvalues of its complex Hessian are non-negative on the closure of D. We show that…

For a domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$, we introduce the concept of a uniformly $C^m$ defining function. We characterize uniformly $C^m$ defining functions in terms of the signed distance function for the boundary and provide a large class…

We prove that the upper envelope of a family of subharmonic functions defined on an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^{N}$, $(N\geq2)$, that is finite every where, is locally bounded above outside a closed nowhere dense set with no bounded…

We consider complex projective schemes $X\subset\Bbb{P}^{r}$ defined by quadratic equations and satisfying a technical hypothesis on the fibres of the rational map associated to the linear system of quadrics defining $X$. Our assumption is…

In trigonometric series terms all polyharmonic functions inside the unit disk are described. For such functions it is proved the existence of their boundary values on the unit circle in the space of hyperfunctions. The necessary and…

Let Y be an infinite covering space of a projective manifold M in P^N of dimension n geq 2. Let C be the intersection with M of at most n-1 generic hypersurfaces of degree d in P^N. The preimage X of C in Y is a connected submanifold. Let…

We give three proofs of the fact that a smoothly bounded, convex domain in R^n has smooth defining functions whose Hessians are non-negative definite in a neighborhood of the boundary of the domain.

Let $D$ be a domain in the complex plane, $M$ be an extended real function on $D$. If $f$ is a non-zero holomorphic function on $D$ with an upper constraint $|f|\leq \exp M$ on this domain $D$, then it is natural to expect that there must…

Let $u$ be a maximal plurisubharmonic function in a domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}^n$ ($n\geq 2$). It is classical that, for any $U\Subset\Omega$, there exists a sequence of bounded plurisubharmonic functions $PSH(U)\ni u_j\searrow u$…

Given a domain of holomorphy $D$ in $\mathbb{C}^N$, $N\geq 2$, we show that the set of holomorphic functions in $D$ whose cluster sets along any finite length paths to the boundary of $D$ is maximal, is residual, densely lineable and…

We describe the strong dual space $({\mathcal O} (D))^*$ for the space ${\mathcal O} (D)$ of holomorphic functions of several complex variables over a bounded Lipschitz domain $D$ with connected boundary $\partial D$ (as usual, ${\mathcal…

Let $G$ be a nonempty bounded domain in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space. The main results are general estimates from below at points from $G$ for an arbitrary subharmonic function $u\not\equiv -\infty$ on the closure of the domain $G$…

J. E. Fornaess has posed the question whether the boundary point of smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domain is strictly pseudoconvex, if the asymptotic limit of the squeezing function is 1. The purpose of this paper is to give an affirmative…

Pluri-Lagrangian systems are variational systems with the multi-dimensional consistency property. This notion has its roots in the theory of pluriharmonic functions, in the Z-invariant models of statistical mechanics, in the theory of…

Let $M$ be a subharmonic function with Riesz measure $\nu_M$ in a domain $D$ in the $n$-dimensional complex Euclidean space $\mathbb C^n$, and let $f$ be a nonzero function that is holomorphic in $D$, vanishes on a set ${\sf Z}\subset D$,…

We define an analogue of the Baernstein star function for a meromorphic function f in several complex variables. This function is subharmonic on the upper half-plane and encodes some of the main functionals attached to f.We then…
