Let $M$\/ be a subharmonic function with Riesz measure $\mu_M$ on the unit disk $\mathbb D$ in the complex plane $\mathbb C$. Let $f$ be a nonzero holomorphic function on $\mathbb D$ such that $f$ vanishes on ${\sf Z}\subset \mathbb D$, and…

We study the set of continuous functions that admit no spurious local optima (i.e. local minima that are not global minima) which we term \textit{global functions}. They satisfy various powerful properties for analyzing nonconvex and…

We give a new, simple proof of the fact recently discovered by C.-S. Lin and C.-L. Wang that the Green function of a torus has either three or five critical points, depending on the modulus of the torus. The proof uses anti-holomorphic…

Let $L$ be a compact oriented Lagrangian surface in a K\"ahler surface endowed with a complete Riemannian metric (compatible with the symplectic structure and the complex structure) with bounded sectional curvatures and a positive lower…

Lower bounds on Ricci curvature limit the volumes of sets and the existence of harmonic functions on Riemannian manifolds. In 1975, Shing Tung Yau proved that a complete noncompact manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature has no…

We prove that every vertically nearly separately continuous function defined on a product of a strong PP-space and a topological space and with values in a strongly $\sigma$-metrizable space with a special stratification, is a pointwise…

The main theorem of the paper provides an existence criterion of holomorphic discs for higher $A_\infty$ operations. The key step is to show that if a minimal disc in a K\"ahler manifold with boundary in a sequence of Lagrangian…

We consider a family E_m(D,M) of holomorphic bundles constructed as follows: to any given M in GL_n(Z), we associate a "multiplicative automorphism" f of (C*)^n. Now let D be a f-invariant Stein Reinhardt domain in (C*)^n. Then E_m(D,M) is…

In this paper we develop fundamental tools and methods to study meromorphic functions in an equivariant setup. As our main result we construct quotients of Rosenlicht-type for Stein spaces acted upon holomorphically by complex-reductive Lie…

Ramanujam's surface M is a contractible affine algebraic surface which is not homeomorphic to the affine plane. For any m>1 the product M^m is diffeomorphic to Euclidean space R^{4m}. We show that, for every m>0, M^m cannot be…

Let $D\subset \C^n,$ $G\subset \C^m$ be pseudoconvex domains, let $A$ (resp. $B$) be an open subset of the boundary $\partial D$ (resp. $\partial G$) and let $X$ be the 2-fold cross $((D\cup A)\times B)\cup (A\times(B\cup G)).$ Suppose in…

The notion of meromorphic convexity is defined and studied on complex manifolds. Using this notion, in analogy with Stein manifolds, a new class of complex manifolds, called {\calligra M }-manifolds, is introduced. This is a class of…

This is the first in a series of articles about recovering the full algebraic structure of a boundary conformal field theory (CFT) from the scaling limit of the critical Ising model in slit-strip geometry. Here, we introduce spaces of…

An odd-dimensional differentiable manifold is called \emph{holomorphically fillable} if it is diffeomorphic to the boundary of a compact strongly pseudoconvex complex manifold, \emph{Stein fillable} if this last manifold may be chosen to be…

Let $X$ be a Stein manifold of complex dimension $n>1$ endowed with a Riemannian metric $\mathfrak{g}$. We show that for every integer $k$ with $\left[\frac{n}{2}\right] \le k \le n-1$ there is a nonsingular holomorphic foliation of…

We prove that a real-valued function (that is not assumed to be continuous) on a real analytic manifold is analytic whenever all its restrictions to analytic submanifolds homeomorphic to the 2-sphere are analytic. This is a real analog for…

Let $f:M\rightarrow M$ be a biholomorphisms on two--dimensional a complex manifold, and let $X\subseteq M$ be a compact $f$--invariant set such that $f|X$ is asymptotically dissipative and without sinks periodic points. We introduce a…

We establish rigidity results for holomorphic mappings and plurisubharmonic functions in complex geometry. First, under mild conditions, we show that the gradient of a $\operatorname{U}(1)$-invariant strictly plurisubharmonic function in…

We show that if $X$ is a Stein space and, if $\Omega \subset X$ is exhaustable by a sequence $\Omega_1 \subset \Omega_2 \subset \ldots \subset \Omega_n \subset \ldots$ of open Stein subsets of $X$, then $\Omega$ is Stein. This generalizes a…

Let $h$ be a harmonic function defined on a spherical disk. It is shown that $\Delta^k |h|^2$ is nonnegative for all $k\in \mathbb{N}$ where $\Delta$ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator. This fact is generalized to harmonic functions defined…
