We show that a Lagrangian inclusion in $\mathbb C^2$ with double transverse self-intersection points and standard open Whitney umbrellas is rationally convex. As an application we show that any compact surface $S$, except $S^2$ and $\mathbb…

The paper considers a class of Lagrangian surfaces in $\mathbb C^2$ with isolated singularities of the unfolded Whitney umbrella type. We prove that generically such a surface is locally polynomially convex near a singular point of this…

We give a complete characterization of those disk bundles over surfaces which embed as rationally convex strictly pseudoconvex domains in $\mathbb{C}^2$. We recall some classical obstructions and prove some deeper ones related to symplectic…

It is proved that any smooth open Whitney umbrella in $\mathbb C^2$ is locally polynomially convex near the singular point.

We prove that an immersed lagrangian submanifold in $\C^n$ with quadratic self-tangencies is rationally convex. This generalizes former results for the embedded and the immersed transversal cases.

We obtain local and global results on polynomially convex hulls of Lagrangian and totally real submanifolds of $C^n$ with self-intersections and open Whitney umbrella points.

We prove that a compact, immersed, submanifold of C^n, lagrangian for a Kahler form, is rationally convex, generalizing a theorem of Duval and Sibony for embedded submanifolds.

Rationally convex topological embeddings of compact surfaces (closed or with boundary) into $\mathbb{C}^2$ are constructed.

Given a compact smooth totally real immersed $n$-submanifold $M\subset\mathbb C^n$ with only finitely many transverse double points, it is known that if $M$ is Lagrangian with respect to some K{\"a}hler form on $\mathbb C^n$, then it is…

Let $S$ be a smooth, totally real, compact immersion in $\mathbb{C}^n$ of real dimension $m \leq n$, which is locally polynomially convex and it has finitely many points where it self-intersects finitely many times, transversely or…

We study real Lagrangian analytic surfaces in C^2 with a non-degenerate complex tangent. Webster proved that all such surfaces can be transformed into a quadratic surface by formal symplectic transformations of C^2. We show that there is a…

Under a mild technical assumption, we prove a necessary and sufficient condition for a totally real compacdt set in $\mathbb{C}^n$ to be rationally convex. This generalizes a classical result of Duval-Sibony

We construct the first examples of rationally convex surfaces in the complex plane with hyperbolic complex tangencies. In fact, we give two very different types of rationally convex surfaces: those that admit analytic fillings by…

In this paper we first give a Bonnet theorem for conformal Lagrangian surfaces in complex space forms, then we show that any compact Lagrangian surface in the complex space form admits at most one other global isometric Lagrangian surface…

The purpose of this note is to give a short, selfcontained proof of the following result: A complex surface which is diffeomeorphic to a rational surface is rational.

A well-known conjecture of Caratheodory states that the number of umbilic points on a closed convex surface in ${\mathbb E}^3$ must be greater than one. In this paper we prove this for $C^{3+\alpha}$-smooth surfaces. The Conjecture is first…

We classify, up to some lattice-theoretic equivalence, all possible configurations of rational double points that can appear on a surface whose minimal resolution is a complex Enriques surface.

Hidden convexity is a powerful idea in optimization: under the right transformations, nonconvex problems that are seemingly intractable can be solved efficiently using convex optimization. We introduce the notion of a Lagrangian dual…

We establish an $h$-principle for exact Lagrangian embeddings with concave Legendrian boundary. We prove, in particular, that in the complement of the unit ball $B$ in the standard symplectic $\R^{2n}, 2n\geq 6$, there exists an embedded…

We prove that any $n$-dimensional closed mean convex $\lambda$-hypersurface is convex if $\lambda\le 0.$ This generalizes Guang's work on $2$-dimensional strictly mean convex $\lambda$-hypersurfaces. As a corollary, we obtain a gap theorem…
