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 initial motivation for this paper is to discuss a more concrete approach to an approximation theorem of Axler and Shields, which says that the uniform algebra on the closed unit disc closure(D) generated by z and h --- where h is a…

We provide some conditions for the graph of a Hoelder-continuous function on \bar{D}, where \bar{D} is a closed disc in the complex plane, to be polynomially convex. Almost all sufficient conditions known to date --- provided the function…

In this paper, we first consider the graph of $(F_1,F_{2},\cdots,F_{n})$ on $\overline{\mathbb{D}}^{n},$ where $F_{j}(z)=\bar{z}^{m_{j}}_{j}+R_{j}(z),j=1,2,\cdots,n,$ which has non-isolated CR-singularities if $m_{j}>1$ for some…

Let $\mathcal{G}(\alpha)$ denote the family of functions $ f(z)$ in the open unit disk $\mathbb D :=\{z\in\mathbb{C}: |z|<1\}$ that satisfy $ f(0)=0= f'(0)=1$ and \[\Re \left(1+ \dfrac{z f''(z)}{ f'(z)}\right)<1+\dfrac{\alpha}{2} , \quad…

We prove the real non-attractive fixed point conjecture for complex polynomial and rational harmonic functions. A harmonic function $f=h+\overline{g}$ is polynomial (rational) if both $h$ and $g$ are polynomials (rational functions) of…

Let $\mathbf D=\bar{\mathbb D}$ be the closed unit disk in $\mathbb C$ and $\mathbf B_n=\bar{\mathbb B_n}$ the closed unit ball in $\mathbb C^n$. For a compact subset $K$ in $\mathbb C^n$ with nonempty interior, let $A(K)$ be the uniform…

For $\alpha > -1$ and $\beta >0, $ let $\mathcal{B}_{\mathcal{H}}^0(\alpha, \beta)$ denote the class of sense preserving harmonic mappings $f=h+\overline{g}$ in the open unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ satisfying $|zh''(z)+\alpha(h'(z)-1)|\leq…

We begin with the following question: given a closed disc $\bar{D}$ in the complex plane and a complex-valued function F in $C(\bar{D})$, is the uniform algebra on $\bar{D}$ generated by z and F equal to $C(\bar{D})$ ? When F is in…

Let $H(D)$ denote the space of holomorphic functions on the unit disk $D$. We characterize those radial weights $w$ on $D$, for which there exist functions $f, g \in H(D)$ such that the sum $|f| + |g|$ is equivalent to $w$. Also, we obtain…

Let $ \mathcal{S}(p) $ be the class of all meromorphic univalent functions defined in the unit disc $ \mathbb{D} $ of the complex plane with a simple pole at $ z=p $ and normalized by the conditions $ f(0)=0 $ and $ f^{\prime}(0)=1 $. In…

We identify all uniform limits of polynomials on the closed unit disc with respect to the chordal metric \c{hi} . One such limit is f=oo. The other limits are holomorphic functions f:-->C so that for every {\zeta} in the boundary of unit…

Let D be a piecewise smooth bounded convex Reinhardt domain in C^2. Assume that the symbols f and g are continuous on the closure of D and harmonic on the disks in the boundary of D. We show that if the product of Hankel operators H^*_f H_g…

We say that a subset of C^n is hypoconvex if its complement is the union of complex hyperplanes. Let D be the closed unit disk in C, T the unit circle. We prove two conjectures of Helton and Marshall. (See ``Frequency domain design and…

Let $D$ be the open unit disc in the complex plane. We denote by $\mathbb{C}$ the set of complex numbers and consider any compact set $K$ which is disjoint from $D$ and which also has connected complement. Let $A(K)$ denote all the…

For the family of analytic functions $f(z)$ in the open unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ with $f(0)=f'(0)-1=0$, satisfying the differential equation \begin{equation*} zf'(z) - f(z) = \dfrac{1}{2} z^2 \phi(z), \quad |\phi(z)| \leq 1, \end{equation*}…

In this paper we study the function algebra generated by z^2 and g^2 on a small closed disk centered at the origin of the complex plane. We prove, using a biholomorphic change of coordinates and already developed techniques in this area,…

We identify the complex plane C with the open unit disc D={z:|z|<1} by the homeomorphism z --> z/(1+|z|). This leads to a compactification $\bar{C}$ of C, homeomorphic to the closed unit disc. The Euclidean metric on the closed unit disc…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. An element F from k(x_1,...,x_n) is called a closed rational function if the subfield k(F) is algebraically closed in the field k(x_1,...,x_n). We prove that a rational function…

It is well-known that the condition ${\operatorname{Re}} \left[1+\frac{zf''(z)}{f'(z)}\right]>0$, $z\in{\mathbb D}$, implies that $f$ is starlike function (i.e. convexity implies starlikeness). If the previous condition is not satisfied for…
