Let D be a relatively compact strongly pseudoconvex domain in a Stein manifold, and let Y be a complex manifold. We prove that the set A(D,Y), consisting of all continuous maps from the closure of D to Y which are holomorphic in D, is a…

We determine all connected homogeneous Kobayashi-hyperbolic manifolds of dimension $n\ge 2$ whose holomorphic automorphism group has dimension $n^2-3$. This result complements existing classifications for automorphism group dimension…

For a new class of topological vector spaces, namely $\kappa $-normed spaces, and associated quasisemilinear topological preordered space is defined and investigated. This structure arise naturally from the consideration of a $\kappa…

Two homogeneous pseudo-riemannian manifolds $(G/H, ds^2)$ and $(G'/H', ds'^2)$ belong to the same {\it real form family} if their complexifications $(G_{\mathbb C}/H_{\mathbb C}, ds_{\mathbb C}^2)$ and $(G'_{\mathbb C}/H'_{\mathbb C},…

We study non-paraSasakian paracontact metric $(\kappa,\mu)$-spaces with $\kappa=-1$ (equivalent to $h^2=0$ but $h\neq0$). These manifolds, which do not have a contact geometry counterpart, will be classified locally in terms of the rank of…

We define the Kobayashi quotient of a complex variety by identifying points with vanishing Kobayashi pseudodistance between them and show that if a compact complex manifold has an automorphism whose order is infinite, then the fibers of…

We construct an unbounded strictly pseudoconvex Kobayashi hyperbolic and complete domain in $\mathbb{C}^2$, which also possesses complete Bergman metric, but has no nonconstant bounded holomorphic functions.

We derive the non-relativistic $c\to\infty$ and ultra-relativistic $c\to 0$ limits of the $\kappa$-deformed symmetries and corresponding spacetime in (3+1) dimensions, with and without a cosmological constant. We apply the theory of Lie…

In this paper we study the global geometry of the Kobayashi metric on "convex" sets. We provide new examples of non-Gromov hyperbolic domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$ of many kinds: pseudoconvex and non-pseudocon \newline -vex, bounded and…

This paper is a sequel to \cite{Choi} in Math. Ann. In that paper we studied the subharmonicity of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on strongly pseudoconvex domains of dimension greater than or equal to $3$. In this paper, we study the variations…

We introduce the class of compactly H\"older mappings between metric spaces and determine the extent to which they distort the Minkowski dimension of a given set. These mappings are defined purely with metric notions and can be seen as a…

The purpose of this article is towards systematically characterizing (holomorphic) retracts of domains of holomorphy; to begin with, bounded balanced pseudoconvex domains $B \subset \mathbb{C}^N$. Specifically, we show that every retract of…

A Hessian manifold $(M,D,g)$ is a manifold $M$ with a flat connection $D$ and a Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian metric $g$ that is locally of the form $D^2 f$ for some function $f$. On a Hessian manifold $(M,D,g)$, we define a hybrid…

Given a finite dimensional C^*-Hopf algebra H and its dual H^ we construct the infinite crossed product A=... x H x H^ x H ... and study its superselection sectors in the framework of algebraic quantum field theory. A is the observable…

In [GM1], we defined a G_R-K_C invariant subset C(S) of G_C for each K_C-orbit S on every flag manifold G_C/P and conjectured that the connected component C(S)_0 of the identity will be equal to the Akhiezer-Gindikin domain D if S is of…

When one considers the collection $\mathcal{H}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ of all compact subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ and equip it with a topology, many questions can be asked about the topological space one ends up with. This is an example of a…

We prove that, for an arbitrary topological space $X$, the following two conditions are equivalent: (a) Every open cover of $X$ has a finite subset with dense union (b) $X$ is $D$-pseudocompact, for every ultrafilter $D$. Locally, our…

We obtain the general conditions for the emergence of odd-frequency superconducting pairing in a two-dimensional (2D) electronic system proximity-coupled to a superconductor, making minimal assumptions about both the 2D system and the…

In this work we prove that if for a pair of convex bodies $K_1, K_2 \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, $n \geq 3$, there exists a hyperplane $H$ and two distinct points $p_1$ and $p_2$ in $\mathbb{R}^n \setminus H$ such that for every $(n-2)$-plane $M…

We prove that Kobayashi isometries between strongly convex domains are holomorphic or anti-holomorphic. More precisely, let $n_1, n_2$ be positive integers and let $\Omega_i \subset \C^{n_i}, \ i=1,2$, be bounded $C^3$ strongly convex…
