We clarify the details of a cryptical paper by Orevkov in which a construction of a proper holomorphic embedding $\gamma\colon\Bbb P^1\setminus{C}\hookrightarrow\Bbb C^2$ is performed; in particular, it is proved that such a construction…

Let U be the open unit disc in C and let B be the open unit ball in C^2. We prove that every discrete subset of B is contained in the range f(U) of a complete, proper holomorphic embedding f:U-->B. Here the completeness of f means that for…

We construct a complete proper holomorphic embedding from any strictly pseudoconvex domain with $\mathcal{C}^2$-boundary in $\mathbb{C}^n$ into the unit ball of $\mathbb{C}^N$, for $N$ large enough, thereby answering a question of Alarcon…

Let $E, F\subset \R^d$ be two self-similar sets. Under mild conditions, we show that $F$ can be $C^1$-embedded into $E$ if and only if it can be affinely embedded into $E$; furthermore if $F$ can not be affinely embedded into $E$, then the…

We solve the problem of simultaneously embedding properly holomorphically into $\Bbb C^2$ a whole family of $n$-connected domains $\Omega_r\subset\Bbb P^1$ such that none of the components of $\Bbb P^1\setminus\Omega_r$ reduces to a point,…

Let $X$ be a Stein manifold of dimension $n\ge 1$. Given a continuous positive increasing function $h$ on $\mathbb R_+=[0,\infty)$ with $\lim_{t\to\infty} h(t)=\infty$, we construct a proper holomorphic embedding $f=(z,w):X\hookrightarrow…

We construct knotted proper holomorphic embeddings of the unit disc in C^2.

Let $\ell_1,\ell_2,\dots$ be a countable collection of lines in ${\mathbb R}^d$. For any $t \in [0,1]$ we construct a compact set $\Gamma\subset{\mathbb R}^d$ with Hausdorff dimension $d-1+t$ which projects injectively into each $\ell_i$,…

For any closed analytic set X in C^2 there exists a proper holomorphic embedding of the unit disk into C^2 such that the image avoids X.

This paper brings several contributions to the classical Forster-Bell-Narasimhan conjecture and the Yang problem concerning the existence of proper and almost proper (hence complete) injective holomorphic immersions of open Riemann surfaces…

In this paper we investigate the global behavior of proper holomorphic maps f from the unit disc U={|z|<1} to C^2. The fact that U is transcendental imposes certain restrictions on the image f(U). For instance, f(U) cannot be contained in…

We show that any finitely connected domain $U\subset\CC$ can be properly embedded into $\CC^2$. For some sequences $\{p_j\}\subset U$, $U\setminus\{p_j\}$ can also be properly embedded into $\CC^2$.

We show that under natural technical conditions, the sum of a $C^2$ dynamically defined Cantor set with a compact set in most cases (for almost all parameters) has positive Lebesgue measure, provided that the sum of the Hausdorff dimensions…

For certain bordered submanifolds $M\subset\CC^2$ we show that $M$ can be embedded properly and holomorphically into $\CC^2$. An application is that any subset of a torus with two boundary components can be embedded properly into $\CC^2$.

We prove that given an open Riemann surface $N,$ there exists an open domain $M\subset N$ homeomorphic to $N$ which properly holomorphically embeds in $\mathbb{C}^2.$ Furthermore, $M$ can be chosen with hyperbolic conformal type. In…

We show that if $E$ is a closed convex set in $\mathbb C^n$ $(n>1)$ contained in a closed halfspace $H$ such that $E\cap bH$ is nonempty and bounded, then the concave domain $\Omega = \mathbb C^n\setminus E$ contains images of proper…

Let $E, F\subset {\Bbb R}^d$ be two self-similar sets, and suppose that $F$ can be affinely embedded into $E$. Under the assumption that $E$ is dust-like and has a small Hausdorff dimension, we prove the logarithmic commensurability between…

Let f: P-->W be an embedding of a compact polyhedron in a closed oriented manifold W, let T be a regular neighborhood of P in W and let C:=closure(W-T) be its complement. Then W is the homotopy push-out of a diagram C<--dT-->P. This…

We construct a large class of pathological $n$-dimensional topological spheres in ${\mathbb R}^{n+1}$ by showing that for any Cantor set $C\subset {\mathbb R}^{n+1}$ there is a topological embedding $f:{\mathbb S}^n\to{\mathbb R}^{n+1}$ of…
