Although the hyperbolic metric possesses many remarkable properties, it is not defined on arbitrary subdomains of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $n \geq 2$. This article introduces a new hyperbolic-type metric that provides an alternative approach to…

Let $D=\{\rho<0\}$ be a smooth domain of finite type in an almost complex manifold (M,J) of real dimension four. We assume that the defining function $\rho$ is J-plurisubharmonic on a neighborhood of $\overline{D}$. We study the asymptotic…

In this paper, we study a partially overdetermined mixed boundary value problem in a half ball. We prove that a domain in which this partially overdetermined problem admits a solution if and only if the domain is a spherical cap…

We study a local version of the ball-covering problem in Banach spaces, and obtain a complete solution to it in terms of the norm derivatives. We illustrate the advantage of the local approach by obtaining substantial refinements of several…

We prove that there exists an automorphism of C^2 tangent to the identity with a domain of attraction to the origin, biholomorphic to the origin, along a degenerate characteristic direction.

In this note we provide a simple proof of some properties enjoyed by convex functions having the engulfing property. In particular, making use only of results peculiar to convex analysis, we prove that differentiability and strict convexity…

We construct homology theories with coefficients in L-spectra on the category of ball complexes and we define products in this setting. We also obtain signatures of geometric situations in these homology groups and prove product formulae…

In this paper we discuss the smoothness conditions for metrics on a cohomogeneity one manifold, i.e. metrics invariant under a Lie group whose generic orbits are hypersurfaces. Along these hypersurfaces one describes the metrics in terms of…

We develop a new technique for studying the boundary limiting behavior of a holomorphic function on a domain $\Omega$ -- both in one and several complex variables. The approach involves two new localized maximal functions. As a result of…

We introduce a geometric condition of Bloch type which guarantees that a subset of a bounded convex domain in several complex variables is degenerate with respect to every iterated function system. Furthermore we discuss the relations of…

This paper is concerned with the study of linear geometric rigidity of shallow thin domains under zero Dirichlet boundary conditions on the displacement field on the thin edge of the domain. A shallow thin domain is a thin domain that has…

We characterize the surjective isometries, with respect to the Hausdorff distance, of the class of bodies given by intersections of Euclidean unit balls. We show that any such isometry is given by the composition of a rigid motion with…

We use analytic and numerical methods to obtain the solution of the Q-ball equation of motion. In particular, we show that the profile function of the three-dimensional Q-ball can be accurately approximated by the symmetrized Woods-Saxon…

We study the branch divisors on the boundary of the canonical toroidal compactification of ball quotients. We show a criterion, the low slope cusp form trick, for proving that ball quotients are of general type. Moreover, we classify when…

We first show that for a bounded pseudoconvex domain with a manifold quotient of finite-volume in the sense of Kahler-Einstein measure, the identity component of the automorphism group of this domain is semi-simple without compact factors.…

We prove that two smooth families of 2-connected domains in $\cc$ are smoothly equivalent if they are equivalent under a possibly discontinuous family of biholomorphisms. We construct, for $m \geq 3$, two smooth families of smoothly bounded…

We consider ruled surfaces with finite multiplicity. We study behaviors of the striction curves and the singularities of the ruled surfaces. We also give geometric meanings of invariants related to the ruled surfaces.

A spherical polyhedron surface is a triangulated surface obtained by isometric gluing of spherical triangles. For instance, the boundary of a generic convex polytope in the 3-sphere is a spherical polyhedron surface. This paper investigates…

We provide a complete characterization of closed sets with empty interior and positive reach in $\mathbb{R}^2$. As a consequence, we characterize open bounded domains in $\mathbb{R}^2$ whose high ridge and cut locus agree, and hence $C^1$…

We show that there are many sets in the boundary of a bounded symmetric domain that determine the values and norm of holomorphic functions on the domain having continuous extensions to the boundary. We provide an analogue of the…
