A uniform upper bound for the Diederich--Fornaess index is given for weakly pseudoconvex domains whose Levi-form of the boundary vanishes in $\ell$-directions everywhere.

We show, under an assumption on the weakly pseudoconvex points, the trivial Diederich--Forn\ae ss index directly implies the global regularities of the $\bar{\partial}$-Neumann operators.

Let $\Omega$ be a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^{n}$. Let $1\leq q_{0}\leq (n-1)$. We show that if $q_{0}$--sums of eigenvalues of the Levi form are comparable, then if the Diederich--Forn\ae ss index of $\Omega$ is $1$,…

We characterize the Diederich-Fornaess index and the Steinness index in terms of a special 1-form, which we call D'Angelo 1-form. We then prove that the Diederich-Fornaess and Steinness indices are invariant under CR-diffeomorphisms by…

We prove a generalization of the second variation formula of the Robin function associated to a smooth variation of domains in C^N to the case of the c-Robin function associated to a smooth variation of domains in a complex manifold M…

We give a new proof of the isoperimetric inequality in the plane, based on Steiner's formula for the area of a convex neighborhood. This proof establishes the isoperimetric inequality directly, without requiring that we separately establish…

We obtain new results on the existence and multiplicity of fixed points of Hammerstein equations in very general cones. In order to achieve this, we combine a new formulation of cones in terms of continuous functionals with fixed point…

We prove that all locally exposable points in a Stein compact in a complex space can be exposed along a given curve to a given real hypersurface. Moreover, the exposing map for a boundary point can be sufficiently close to the identity map…

We study the Diederich-Forn{\ae}ss exponent and relate it to non-existence of Stein domains with Levi-flat boundaries in complex manifolds. In particular, we prove that if the Diederich-Forn{\ae}ss exponent of a smooth bounded Stein domain…

In this paper (a sequel to B. Drinovec Drnovsek and F. Forstneric, Holomorphic curves in complex spaces, Duke Math. J. 139 (2007), 203-253) we obtain existence and approximation results for closed complex subvarieties that are normalized by…

On a two dimensional Stein space with isolated, normal singularities, smooth finite type boundary, and locally algebraic Bergman kernel, we establish an estimate on the type of the boundary in terms of the local algebraic degree of the…

In this paper we show that there is a well defined modified dbar-Neumann problem for a spin_c manifold with a strictly pseudoconvex boundary (in the contact geometry sense). We show that the index of the associated boundary value problem…

The Steiner distance of vertices in a set $S$ is the minimum size of a connected subgraph that contain these vertices. The sum of the Steiner distances over all sets $S$ of cardinality $k$ is called the Steiner $k$-Wiener index and studied…

This paper provides a general framework for Stein's density method for multivariate continuous distributions. The approach associates to any probability density function a canonical operator and Stein class, as well as an infinite…

We describe along the guidelines of Kohn "Quantitative estimates..." (1999), the constant E_s which is needed to control the commutator of a totally real vector field T with di-bar* in order to have Sobolev s-regularity of the Bergman…

For a relatively compact Stein domain $\Omega$ with $C^2$ boundary in a Hermitian manifold $M$, we consider the strong Diederich-Forn{\ae}ss index, denoted $DF(\Omega)$: the supremum of all exponents $0<\eta<1$ such that eigenvalues of the…

We combine Freedman's topology with Eliashberg's holomorphic theory to construct Stein neighborhood systems in complex surfaces, and use these to study various notions of convexity and concavity. Every tame, topologically embedded 2-complex…

We establish an index theorem for Toeplitz operators on odd dimensional spin manifolds with boundary. It may be thought of as an odd dimensional analogue of the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index theorem for Dirac operators on manifolds with…

A formula based on a vertex contributions of the Steiner $k$-Wiener index is induced by a newly introduced $k$-Steiner betweenness centrality, which measures the number of $k$-Steiner trees that include a particular vertex as a non-terminal…

This paper examines the broad structure on Stein manifolds and how it generalizes the notion of a domain of holomorphy in $\mathbb C^n$. Along with this generalization, we see that Stein manifolds share key properties from domains of…
