We analyze the behavior of rational inner functions on the unit bidisk near singularities on the distinguished boundary $\mathbb{T}^2$ using level sets. We show that the unimodular level sets of a rational inner function $\phi$ can be…

A classical result due to Blaschke states that for every analytic self-map $f$ of the open unit disk of the complex plane there exists a Blaschke product $B$ such that the zero sets of $f$ and $B$ agree. In this paper we show that there is…

We give a simple proof of the fact that a finite measure $\mu$ on the unit disk is a Carleson measure for the Dirichlet space if it satisfies the Carleson one-box condition $\mu(S(I))=O(\phi(|I|))$, where $\phi:(0,2\pi]\to(0,\infty)$ is an…

Let $u$ be a harmonic function in a $C^1$ domain $D\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, which vanishes on an open subset of the boundary. In this note we study its critical set $\{x \in \overline{D}: \nabla u(x) = 0 \}$. When $D$ is a $C^{1,\alpha}$…

If a real harmonic function inside the open unit disk $B(0,1) \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ has its level set $\left\{x: u(x) = u(0)\right\}$ diffeomorphic to an interval, then we prove the sharp bound $\kappa \leq 8$ on the curvature of the level…

We show that for a $\mathbb{Z}^{l}$-action (or $(\N\cup\{0\})^l$-action) on a non-empty compact metrizable space $\Omega$, the existence of a affine space dense in the set of continuous functions on $\Omega$ constituted by elements…

Given two compact sets, $E$ and $F$, on the unit circle, we study the class of subharmonic functions on the unit disk which can grow at the direction of $E$ and $F$ (sets of singularities) at different rate. The main result concerns the…

In the field of radial basis functions mathematicians have been endeavouring to find infinitely differentiable and compactly supported radial functions. This kind of functions is extremely important. One of the reasons is that its error…

In this note, we prove a sharp lower bound for the log canonical threshold of a plurisubharmonic function $\varphi$ with an isolated singularity at $0$ in an open subset of ${\mathbb C}^n$. This threshold is defined as the supremum of…

In this survey paper, we discuss the problem of characterizing the critical sets of bounded analytic functions in the unit disk of the complex plane. This problem is closely related to the Berger-Nirenberg problem in differential geometry…

It was established in [8] that Lipschitz inf-compact functions are uniquely determined by their local slope and critical values. Compactness played a paramount role in this result, ensuring in particular the existence of critical points. We…
