In this paper we consider certain proejctions in the corona algebra of $C(X)\otimes B$ associated to $(p_0, p_1, \dots, p_n)$ where $p_i: X_i \to \mt_s$ a continuous projection valued section to the multiplier algebra of a stable…

The paper characterizes the convex hull of the closure of the cone-volume set $C_\cv(U)$, consisting of all cone-volume vectors of polygons with outer unit normals vectors contained in $U$, for any finite set $U \subseteq \R^2, \pos(U) =…

It is shown that there exists a compact set $X$ in ${\mathbb C}^2$ with a nontrivial polynomial hull $\widehat X$ such that some point of $\widehat X \setminus X$ is a one-point Gleason part for $P(X)$. Furthermore, $X$ can chosen so that…

On a geometrically smooth complex algebraic curve X^1 in P^2(C), represented in complex affine coordinates (x,y) as the zero-locus R(x,y) = 0 of some polynomial R of degree d >= k+3, an explicit family of generating independent holomorphic…

We study the harmonic mean of non-zero complex-valued random variables (complex harmonic mean) and establish several geometric estimates and bounds. In contrast to the classical positive-valued case, complex harmonic means may lie outside…

In this paper we construct first examples of smooth projective surfaces of general type satisfying the following conditions: there are 1) an ample integral curve $C$ with $C^2=1$ and $h^0(X,O_X(C))=1$; \quad 2) a divisor $D$ with $(D,…

Taking the convex hull of a curve is a natural construction in computational geometry. On the other hand, path signatures, central in stochastic analysis, capture geometric properties of curves, although their exact interpretation for…

We prove that for every smooth projective integral curve $X$ of genus at least $2$ over $\mathbb C$, there exists $x \in X(\mathbb C)$ such that no connected finite \'etale cover of $X-\{x\}$ admits a nonconstant morphism to $\mathbb G_m$.…

We consider free algebraic actions of the additive group of complex numbers on a complex vector space X embedded in the complex projective space. We find an explicit formula for the map p that assigns to a generic point x in X the Chow…

Let $\Omega$ be a smooth real analytic submanifold of a complex manifold $X$. We establish and study the link between the following 3 subjects: 1) topological properties of smooth families of attached analytic discs, the manifold $\Omega$…

We consider a subanalytic subset A of a complex analytic manifold M (when M is viewed as a real manifold) and formulate conditions under which A is a complex analytic subset of M.

Let $P$ be a crossing-free polygon and $\mathcal C$ a set of shortcuts, where each shortcut is a directed straight-line segment connecting two vertices of $P$. A shortcut hull of $P$ is another crossing-free polygon that encloses $P$ and…

We characterize embedded $\C^1$ hypersurfaces of $\R^n$ as the only locally closed sets with continuously varying flat tangent cones whose measure-theoretic-multiplicity is at most $m<3/2$. It follows then that any (topological)…

This paper analyzes the convex hull of the parametric curve $\left(t, t^2, \cdots, t^N\right)$, where $t$ is in a closed interval. It finds that every point in the convex hull is representable as a convex combination of $\frac{N+1}{2}$…

We prove that every smooth CR manifold $M\subset\subset \C^n$, of hypersurface type, has a complex strip-manifold extension in $\C^n$. If $M$ is, in addition, pseudoconvex-oriented, it is the "exterior" boundary of the strip. In turn, the…

Let $\mathcal C$ be a real plane algebraic curve defined by the resultant of two polynomials (resp. by the discriminant of a polynomial). Geometrically such a curve is the projection of the intersection of the surfaces $P(x,y,z)=Q(x,y,z)=0$…

Let $X$ be a separable Banach function space on the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$ and $H[X]$ be the abstract Hardy space built upon $X$. We show that the set of analytic polynomials is dense in $H[X]$ if the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is…

Using the theory of exterior differential systems, we study the existence of germ of pseudo-holomorphic disk in a real analytic hypersurface locally defined in a complex manifold equipped with J a real analytic almost complex structure. The…

The existence of a nontrivial polynomially convex hull with every point a one-point Gleason part and with no nonzero bounded point derivations is established. This strengthens the \hbox{celebrated} result of Stolzenberg that there exists a…

We show that a function $f : X \to \mathbb R$ defined on a closed uniformly polynomially cuspidal set $X$ in $\mathbb R^n$ is real analytic if and only if $f$ is smooth and all its composites with germs of polynomial curves in $X$ are real…
