In this paper we study the automorphism group of smoothly bounded convex domains. We show that such a domain is biholomorphic to a "polynomial ellipsoid" (that is, a domain defined by a weighted homogeneous balanced polynomial) if and only…

In this paper we prove a Rad\'o type result showing that there is no univalent polyharmonic mapping of the unit disk onto the whole complex plane. We also establish a connection between the boundary functions of harmonic and biharmonic…

In this paper we consider the following question: For bounded domains with smooth boundary, can strong pseudoconvexity be characterized in terms of the intrinsic complex geometry of the domain? Our approach to answering this question is…

We prove that a two dimensional pseudoconvex domain of finite type with a K\"ahler-Einstein Bergman metric is biholomorphic to the unit ball. This answers an old question of Yau for such domains. The proof relies on asymptotics of…

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…

We show that there are strictly pseudoconvex, real algebraic hypersurfaces in $\bC^{n+1}$ that cannot be locally embedded into a sphere in $\bC^{N+1}$ for any $N$. In fact, we show that there are strictly pseudoconvex, real algebraic…

Let D_1 be a subdomain of D_2 in the complex plane CC. Under very mild conditions on D_2 we show that there exist holomorphic functions f, defined on D_1 with the property that $f$ is nowhere extendible across the boundary of D_1, while the…

In this paper, we provide some characterizations of strong pseudoconvexity by the boundary behavior of intrinsic invariants for smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domains of finite type in $\mathbb{C}^2$. As a consequence, if such domain is…

We study proper holomorphic mappings between strictly pseudoconvex domains with low boundary regularity.

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…

We prove the existence of global Bishop discs in a strictly pseudoconvex Stein domain in an almost complex manifold of complex dimension 2.

Invariants for Riemann surfaces covered by the disc and for hyperbolic manifolds in general involving minimizing the measure of the image over the homotopy and homology classes of closed curves and maps of the $k$-sphere into the manifold…

We show that two smoothly bounded, strongly pseudoconvex domains which are diffeomorphic may be smoothly deformed into each other, with all intermediate domains being strongly pseudoconvex. This result relates to Lempert's ideas about…

We first give an exposition on holomorphic isometries from the Poincar\'e disk to polydisks and from the Poincar\'e disk to the product of the Poincar\'e disk with a complex unit ball. As an application, we provide an example of proper…

For $D$, $D'$ analytic polyhedra in $C^n$, it is proven that a biholomorphic mapping $f\colon D\to D'$ extends holomorphically to a dense boundary subset under certain condition of general position. This result is also extended to a more…

A complete characterization of proper holomorphic mappings between domains from the class of all pseudoconvex Reinhardt domains in $\C^2$ with the logarithmic image equal to a strip or a half-plane is given.

In this article we prove a global result in the spirit of Basener's theorem regarding the relation between q-pseudoconvexity and q-holomorphic convexity: we prove that any smoothly bounded strictly q-pseudoconvex open subset of the complex…

We show in this paper that every domain in a separable Hilbert space, say $\cH$, which has a $C^2$ smooth strongly pseudoconvex boundary point at which an automorphism orbit accumulates is biholomorphic to the unit ball of $\cH$. This is…

The classical Julia-Wolff-Caratheodory theorem gives a condition ensuring the existence of the non-tangential limit of both a bounded holomorphic function and its derivative at a given boundary point of the unit disk in the complex plane.…

We introduce a prime end-type theory on complete Kobayashi hyperbolic manifolds using horosphere sequences. This allows to introduce a new notion of boundary-new even in the unit disc in the complex space-the horosphere boundary, and a…
