We describe the basic complex geometry and function theory of the {\em pentablock} $\mathcal{P}$, which is the bounded domain in $\mathbb{C}^3$ given by \[ \mathcal{P}= \{(a_{21}, \mathrm{tr} A, \det A): A= \begin{bmatrix}…
We prove that the Shilov boundary is invariant under proper holomorphic mappings between some classes of domains (containing among others quasi-balanced domains with the continuous Minkowski functionals). Moreover, we obtain an extension…
We study a new domain in $\mathbb C^4$, namely the hexablock $\mathbb{H}$ that arises in connection with a special case of the $\mu$-synthesis problem in $M_2(\mathbb C)$. Previous attempts to study a few instances of the $\mu$-synthesis…
In \cite{G-Z} G.~Ghosh and W. Zwonek introduced a new class of domains $\bL_n$, $n\ge1$, which are 2-proper holomorphic images of the Cartan domains of type four. This family contains biholomorphic images of the symmetrized bidisc and the…
In the paper we show that the Lempert theorem (i.e. the equality between the Lempert function and the Carath\'eodory distance) holds in the tetrablock, a bounded hyperconvex domain which is not biholomorphic to a convex domain.
In this note, we provide an alternative way of describing the distinguished boundariesof symmetrized bidisc, tetrablock and pentablock. We show that each of these distinguished boundaries can be characterized as the union of orbits of two…
In this short note we show that the tetrablock is i $\C$-convex domain. In the proof of this fact a new class of ($\C$-convex) domains is studied. The domains are natural caniddates to study on them the behavior of holomorphically invariant…
In this paper, we study the geometry of bounded domains with piecewise smooth boundary. Specifically, we obtain the relationship between the squeezing function corresponding to polydisk and Levi flatness on bounded generic convex domains.…
We explore a domain $\mathbb F$ in $\mathbb C^4$ that has structural similarities with the hexablock $\mathbb{H} \subset \mathbb C^4$. It leads to the question if these two domains are biholomorphic. In this paper, we answer this question…
We introduce the notion of domains with uniform squeezing property, study various analytic and geometric properties of such domains and show that they cover many interesting examples, including Teichmuller spaces and Hermitian symmetric…
Motivated by the way two special domains, namely the symmetrized bidisc and the tetrablock, could be defined as the images of $2$-proper holomorphic images of classical Cartan domains, we present a general approach to study $2$-proper…
We present a set of necessary and sufficient conditions that provides a Schwarz lemma for the tetrablock $\mathbb E$. As an application of this result, we obtain a Schwarz lemma for the symmetrized bidisc $\mathbb G_2$. In either case, our…
We construct families of convex domains that are biholomorphic to bounded domains, but not bounded convex domains. This is accomplished by finding an obstruction related to the Gromov hyperbolicity of the Kobayashi metric.
The hexablock is a domain arising from a special case of the $\mu$-synthesis problem. We study the commuting operator tuples having the hexablock as a spectral set. Such a tuple is called a hexablock-contraction or simply $\mathbb…
Breaking symmetries is a popular way of speeding up the branch-and-bound method for symmetric integer programs. We study fundamental domains, which are minimal and closed symmetry breaking polyhedra. Our long-term goal is to understand the…
We prove that the symmetrized polydisc cannot be exhausted by domains biholomorphic to convex domains.
We show that if $Y_j\subset \mathbb{C}^{n_j}$ is a bounded strongly convex domain with $C^3$-boundary for $j=1,\dots,q$, and $X_j\subset \mathbb{C}^{m_j}$ is a bounded convex domain for $j=1,\ldots,p$, then the product domain $\prod_{j=1}^p…
In this paper we establish Gehring-Hayman type theorems for some complex domains. Suppose that $\Omega\subset \mathbb{C}^n$ is a bounded $m$-convex domain with Dini-smooth boundary, or a bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain with…
We deliver examples of non-Gromov hyperbolic tube domains with convex bases (equipped with the Kobayashi distance). This is shown by providing a criterion on non-Gromov hyperbolicity of (non-smooth) domains.The results show the similarity…
By considering intrinsic geometric conditions, we introduce a new class of domains in complex Euclidean space. This class is invariant under biholomorphism and includes strongly pseudoconvex domains, finite type domains in dimension two,…
