We show that if $X$ is a Stein space and, if $\Omega \subset X$ is exhaustable by a sequence $\Omega_1 \subset \Omega_2 \subset \ldots \subset \Omega_n \subset \ldots$ of open Stein subsets of $X$, then $\Omega$ is Stein. This generalizes a…

In this article, we prove that if $X$ is a Stein space and $\Omega\subset X$ an increasing sequence of $q$-complete open subsets, then $\Omega$ is $q$-complete.

In this short note, we collect some results regarding the Remmert reduction of holomorphically convex space and its application to a variation of the usual union problem. Classically, the union problem asks the following question: is a…

We discuss the well-known open problems: the local Steiness problem and the union problem.

In this article, we prove that if $\Pi: X\rightarrow \Omega$ is an unbranched Riemann domain with $\Omega$ Stein of dimension $n$ and $\Pi$ a locally $q$-complete morphism, then $X$ is cohomologically $q$-complete if $n\geq 3$ and $1\leq…

It is proved that an unbranched Riemann domain $\Pi : X\rightarrow Y$ over an arbitrary Stein complex space of dimension $n\geq 2$ is Stein if and only if $X$ is cohomologically $2$-complete with respect to the structure sheaf…

The density property for a Stein manifold X implies that the group of holomorphic diffeomorphisms of X is infinite-dimensional and, in a certain well-defined sense, as large as possible. We prove that if G is a complex semisimple Lie group…

This paper examines the broad structure on Stein manifolds and how it generalizes the notion of a domain of holomorphy in $\mathbb C^n$. Along with this generalization, we see that Stein manifolds share key properties from domains of…

Let D be a bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain in a Stein manifold S and let Y be a complex manifold. We prove that the graph of any continuous map from the closure of D to Y which is holomorphic in D admits a basis of open Stein…

We discuss domains of holomorphy and several notions of pseudoconvexity (drawing parallels with the corresponding notions from geometric convexity), and present a mostly self-contained solution to the Levi problem. We restrict our attention…

We show that the group of holomorphic automorphisms of a Stein manifold X of dimension greater than 1 is infinite-dimensional, provided X is a homogeneous space of a holomorphic action of a complex Lie group.

Let X be a Stein manifold, A a closed complex subvariety of X, and f a continuous map from X to a complex manifold Y whose restriction to A is holomorphic. After a homotopic deformation of the Stein structure outside a neighborhood of A in…

In this paper (a sequel to B. Drinovec Drnovsek and F. Forstneric, Holomorphic curves in complex spaces, Duke Math. J. 139 (2007), 203-253) we obtain existence and approximation results for closed complex subvarieties that are normalized by…

A complex space $X$ is in class ${\mathcal Q}_G$ if it is a semistable quotient of the complement to an analytic subset of a Stein manifold by a holomorphic action of a reductive complex Lie group $G$. It is shown that every pseudoconvex…

Let E denote a bundle with fiber D and with basis B. Both D and B are assumed to be Stein. For D a Reinhardt bounded domain of dimension d=2 or 3, we give a necessary and sufficient condition on D for the existence of a non-Stein such E…

Rosay and Rudin constructed examples of discrete subsets of C^n with remarkable properties. We generalize these constructions from C^n to arbitrary Stein manifolds. We prove: Given a Stein manifold X and a affine variety V of the same…

Let $X$ be an arbitrary complex surface and $D \subset X$ a domain that has a non compact group of holomorphic automorphisms. A characterization of those domains $D$ that admit a smooth real analytic, finite type boundary orbit accumulation…

This paper is concerned with the problem of constructing a smooth Levi-flat hypersurface locally or globally attached to a real codimension two submanifold in $\mathbb C^{n+1}$, or more generally in a Stein manifold, with elliptic CR…

In this article, we prove that if $\Pi: X\to \Omega$ is a surjective holomorphic map, with $\Omega$ a Stein space and $X$ a complex manifold of dimension $n\geq 3,$ and if, for every $x\in \Omega$ there exists an open neighborhood $U$ such…

It is shown that two strictly pseudoconvex Stein domains with real analytic boundaries have biholomorphic universal coverings provided that their boundaries are locally biholomorphically equivalent. This statement can be regarded as a…
