Let $X$ be a closed, $1$-dimensional, complex subvariety of $\CC^2$ and let $\ol{\BB}$ be a closed ball in $\CC^2 - X$. Then there exists a Fatou-Bieberbach domain $\Omega$ with $X \subseteq \Omega \subseteq \CC^2 - \ol{\BB}$ and a…

Following Ghomi and Tabachnikov we study topological obstructions to totally skew embeddings of a smooth manifold M in Euclidean spaces. This problem is naturally related to the question of estimating the geometric dimension of the stable…

We explore the existence of closed geodesics and geodesic spirals for the Szeg\"o metric in a $C^{\infty}$-smoothly bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}^n$, which is not simply connected for $n \geq 2$.

This paper shows that every totally-geodesic isometry from the unit disk to a finite-dimensional Teichm\"uller space for the intrinsic Kobayashi metric is either holomorphic or anti-holomorphic; in particular, it is a Teichm\"uller disk.…

The present article is the final part of a series on the classification of the totally geodesic submanifolds of the irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces of rank 2. After this problem has been solved for the 2-Grassmannians in my previous…

We show uniqueness for overdetermined elliptic problems defined on topological disks $\Omega$ with $C^2$ boundary, i.e., positive solutions $u$ to $\Delta u + f(u)=0$ in $\Omega \subset (M^2,g)$ so that $u = 0$ and $\frac{\partial…

Let $f \in C^2(\mathbb{T}^2)$ have mean value 0 and consider $$ \sup_{\gamma~{\tiny \mbox{closed geodesic}}}{~~~ \frac{1}{|\gamma|} \left| \int_{\gamma}{ f ~~d\mathcal{H}^1}\right| },$$ where $\gamma$ ranges over all closed geodesics…

We prove that for every $n \ge 2$, there exists a pseudoconvex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ such that $\mathfrak{c}^0(\Omega) \subsetneq \mathfrak{c}^1(\Omega)$, where $\mathfrak{c}^k(\Omega)$ denotes the core of $\Omega$ with…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}^n$ be a bounded domain with smooth boundary, whose Bergman projection $B$ maps the Sobolev space $H^{k_{1}}(\Omega)$ (continuously) into $H^{k_{2}}(\Omega)$. We establish two smoothing results: (i) the full…

In this article we classify totally geodesic submanifolds in arbitrary products of rank one symmetric spaces. Furthermore, we give infinitely many examples of irreducible totally geodesic submanifolds in Hermitian symmetric spaces with…

Consider a holomorphic map $F: D \to G$ between two domains in ${\mathbb C}^N$. Let $\mathcal F$ denote a family of geodesics for the Kobayashi distance, such that $F$ acts as an isometry on each element of $\mathcal F$. This paper is…

If $\Omega$ is the interior of a convex polygon in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ and $f,g$ two asymptotic geodesics, we show that the distance function $d\left(f\left(t\right),g\left(t\right)\right)$ is convex for $t$ sufficiently large. The same result…

We study bounded domains $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}^n$ whose Bergman metric is locally symmetric, i.e. its Riemannian curvature tensor is parallel with respect to the Levi-Civita connection. Following the strategy developed in…

It is known that for $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ an unbounded convex domain and $H>0$, there exists a graph $G\subset \mathbb{R}^{3}$ of constant mean curvature $H$ over $\Omega $ with $\partial G=$ $\partial \Omega $ if and only if…

We prove some new a priori estimates for H_2-convex functions which are zero on the boundary of a bounded smooth domain \Omega in a Carnot group G. Such estimates are global and are geometric in nature as they involve the horizontal mean…

We prove that equivariant, holomorphic embeddings of Hermitian symmetric spaces are totally geodesic (when the image is not of exceptional type).

Let $\varphi:F_1\to F_2$ be an injective morphism of free groups. If $\varphi$ is geometric (i.e. induced by an inclusion of oriented compact connected surfaces with nonempty boundary), then we show that $\varphi$ is an isometric embedding…

We construct examples of hyperbolic rational homology spheres and hyperbolic knot complements in rational homology spheres containing closed embedded totally geodesic surfaces.

It is shown that every holomorphic map $f$ from a Runge domain $\Omega$ of an affine algebraic variety $S$ into a projective algebraic manifold $X$ is a uniform limit of Nash algebraic maps $f_\nu$ defined over an exhausting sequence of…

In this paper we construct a properly embedded holomorphic disc in the unit ball $\mathbb{B}^2$ of $\mathbb{C}^2$ having a surprising combination of properties: on the one hand, it has finite area and hence is the zero set of a bounded…
