The following generalization of a result of S. Nemirovski is proved: if $X$ is either a projective or a Stein manifold and $K\subset X$ is a compact sublevel set of a strictly plurisubharmonic function $\varphi$ defined in a neighborhood of…

We show that a compact Kaehler manifold X is a complex torus if both the continuous part and discrete part of some automorphism group G of X are infinite groups, unless X is bimeromorphic to a non-trivial G-equivariant fibration. Some…

Let $X$ be a cohomologically $(n-1)$-complete complex manifold of dimension $n\geq 2$. We prove a vanishing result for the Bott-Chern cohomology group of type $(1, 1)$ with compact support in $X$, which combined with the well-known…

It is well known that a strictly convex minimand admits at most one minimizer. We prove a partial converse: Let $X$ be a locally convex Hausdorff space and $f \colon X \mapsto \left( - \infty , \infty \right]$ a function with compact…

For a compactification $\alpha X$ of a Tychonoff space $X$, the algebra of all functions $f\in C(X)$ that are continuously extendable over $% \alpha X$ is denoted by $C_{\alpha}(X)$. It is shown that, in a model of $\textbf{ZF}$, it may…

We show that if a compact Kahler manifold X admits a cohomologically hyperbolic surjective endomorphism then its Kodaira dimension is non-positive. This gives an affirmative answer to a conjecture of Guedj in the holomorphic case. The main…

Let $E$ be a Banach space and $\X$ be the closed unit ball of the dual space $E^*$. For a compact set $K$ in $E$, we prove that $K$ is polynomially convex in $E$ if and only if there exist a unital commutative Banach algebra $A$ and a…

This note establishes smooth approximation from above for J-plurisubharmonic functions on an almost complex manifold (X,J). The following theorem is proved. Suppose X is J-pseudoconvex, i.e., X admits a smooth strictly J-plurisubharmonic…

Let $\mathcal{F} $ be a pointwise almost periodic decomposition of a compact metrizable space $X$. Then $\mathcal{F} $ is $R$-closed if and only if $\hat{\mathcal{F}} $ is usc. Moreover, if there is a finite index normal subgroup $H$ of an…

Theorem (uniformization). Let X be a compact Kahler manifold of dimension n with large, residually finite and nonamenable fundamental group. Then its universal covering is a bounded domain in the n-dimensional affine space.

Let $(M,\omega)$ be a Kahler manifold. An integrable function on M is called $\omega^q$-plurisubharmonic if it is subharmonic on all q-dimensional complex subvarieties. We prove that a smooth $\omega^q$-plurisubharmonic function is…

In a previous paper the second author introduced a compact topology on the space of closed ideals of a unital Banach algebra A. If A is separable then this topology is either metrizable or else neither Hausdorff nor first countable. Here it…

We show that if $X$ is an arc-like continuum, then any continuum which is the union of $X$ and a ray $R$ such that $X \cap R = \emptyset$ and $\overline{R} \setminus R \subseteq X$ can be embedded in the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$. Further, we…

We show that every finite dimensional Hausdorff (not necessarily paracompact, not necessarily second countable) $C^r$-manifold can be embedded into a weakly complete vector space, i.e. a locally convex topological vector space of the form…

A space X is finite dimensional, locally compact and separable metrizable if and only if X has a finite basic family: continuous functions Phi_1,...,Phi_n of X to the reals, R, such that for all continuous f from X to R there are g_1,...,…

Let $S$ be a compact Hausdorff space and $X$ a complex manifold. We consider the space $C(S,X)$ of continuous maps $S\to X$, and prove that any bounded holomorphic function on this space can be continued to a holomorphic function, possibly…
