The aim of this book is to show that the use of f-analytic families of finite type cycles (cycles having finitely many irreducible components, but not compact in general) in a given complex space may be useful in complex geometry, despite…

In 1971 Fedi\u{i} proved the remarkable theorem that the linear second order partial differential operator in the plane with coefficients 1 and f^2 is hypoelliptic provided that f is smooth, vanishes at the origin and is positive otherwise.…

The generalisation of the well-known (Hilbert polynomial) criterion for flatness of a projective morphism of Noetherian schemes is given for the case of nonreduced base of the morphism.

We investigate the non-univalent function's properties reminiscent of the theory of univalent starlike functions. Let the analytic function $\psi(z)=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}A_i z^i$, $A_1\neq0$ be univalent in the unit disk. Non-univalent…

We show that non-flatness of a morphism f of complex-analytic spaces with a locally irreducible target Y of dimension n manifests in the existence of vertical components in the n-fold fibred power of the pull-back of f to the…

The Whitney extension theorem is a classical result in analysis giving a necessary and sufficient condition for a function defined on a closed set to be extendable to the whole space with a given class of regularity. It has been adapted to…

Given an essentially finite type morphism of schemes f: X --> Y and a positive integer d, let f^{d}: X^{d} --> Y denote the natural map from the d-fold fiber product, X^{d}, of X over Y and \pi_i: X^{d} --> X the i'th canonical projection.…

We present a coordinate-free version of Fefferman's solution of Whitney's extension problem in the space $C^{m-1,1}(\mathbb{R}^n)$. While the original argument relies on an elaborate induction on collections of partial derivatives, our…

We prove Bertini type theorems and give some applications of them. The applications are in the context of Lefschetz theorem for Nori fundamental group for normal varieties as well as for geometric formal orbifolds. In another application,…

Let $ f $ be a real-valued function on a compact subset in $ \mathbb{R}^n $. We show how to decide if $ f $ extends to a nonnegative and $ C^1 $ function on $ \mathbb{R}^n $. There has been no known result for nonnegative $ C^m $ extension…

Extending the classical result that the roots of a polynomial with coefficients in $\mathbf{C}$ are continuous functions of the coefficients of the polynomial, nonstandard analysis is used to prove that if $\mathcal{F} = \{f_{\lambda}…

We remark that there is no smooth function $f(x)$ on $[0, 1]$ which is flat at $0$ such that the derivative $f^{(n)}$ of any order $n\geq 0$ is positive on $(0,1]$. Moreover, the number of zeros of the $n$-th derivative $f^{(n)}$ grows to…

We give a generalization of the geometric estimate used by Hart and the second author in their 2008 work on sums and products in finite fields. Their result concerned level sets of non-degenerate bilinear forms over finite fields, while in…

Denote by $M_n$ the set of $n\times n$ complex matrices. Let $f: M_n \rightarrow [0,\infty)$ be a continuous map such that $f(\mu UAU^*)= f(A)$ for any complex unit $\mu$, $A \in M_n$ and unitary $U \in M_n$, $f(X)=0$ if and only if $X=0$…

For analytic functions in the unit disk, general bounds on the Schwarzian derivative in terms of Nehari functions are shown to imply uniform local univalence and in some cases finite and bounded valence. Similar results are obtained for the…

We present an approximation theorem for continuous non-decreasing functions on compact preordered spaces, leading to an algebraic characterization of their corresponding function spaces. As an application, we prove that the family of…

We prove an analogue of the Lewy extension theorem for a real dimension $2n$ smooth submanifold $M \subset {\mathbb C}^{n}\times {\mathbb R}$, $n \geq 2$. A theorem of Hill and Taiani implies that if $M$ is CR and the Levi-form has a…

Permutation rational functions over finite fields have attracted high interest in recent years. However, only a few of them have been exhibited. This article studies a class of permutation rational functions constructed using trace maps on…

This a first step to develop a theory of smooth, etale and unramified morphisms between noetherian formal schemes. Our main tool is the complete module of differentials, that is a coherent sheaf whenever the map of formal schemes is of…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be an open, connected subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$, and let $F\colon\Omega-\Omega\to\mathbb{C}$, where $\Omega-\Omega=\{x-y\colon x,y\in\Omega\}$, be a continuous positive definite function. We give necessary and…
