Analogous to Weil-Petersson quasicircles, we investigate infinite circle patterns in the Euclidean plane parameterized by discrete harmonic functions of finite Dirichlet energy. The space of such circle patterns forms an…
Let $M$ be a complex manifold which admits an exhaustion by open subsets $M_j$ each of which is biholomorphic to a fixed domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb C^n$. The main question addressed here is to describe $M$ in terms of $\Omega$. Building…
We present the following reflexivity-like result concerning the automorphism group of the $C^*$-algebra B(H), H being a separable Hilbert space. Let $\phi:B(H)\to B(H)$ be a multiplicative map (no linearity or continuity is assumed) which…
We develop a notion of rank one properly convex domains (or Hilbert geometries) in the real projective space. This is in the spirit of rank one non-positively curved Riemannian manifolds and CAT(0) spaces. We define rank one isometries for…
Divisible convex sets have long been important in the study of Hilbert geometries. When a divisible convex set is an ellipsoid, the Hilbert geometry it induces is the hyperbolic space. In general, strictly convex divisible domains exhibit…
We give an example of a bounded, pseudoconvex, circular domain in ${\mathbb C}^3$ with smooth, real-analytic boundary and non-compact automorphism group, which is not biholomorphically equivalent to any Reinhardt domain.
For a smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domain $D\subset{\Bbb C}^n$ of finite type with non-compact holomorphic automorphism group $\text{Aut}(D)$, we show that the set $S(D)$ of all boundary accumulation points for $\text{Aut}(D)$ is a compact…
This paper treats a holomorphic self-mapping f: Omega --> Omega of a bounded domain Omega in a separable Hilbert space H with a fixed point p. In case the domain is convex, we prove an infinite-dimensional version of the…
The Teichm\"uller space $\mathcal{T}_S(\mathbf{b})$ of hyperbolic metrics on a surface $S$ with fixed lengths at the boundary components is symplectic. We prove that any sum of infinitesimal earthquakes on $S$ that is tangent to…
In this paper we prove a metric version of Hartogs' theorem where the holomorphic function is replaced by a locally symmetric Hermitian metric. As an application, we prove that if the Kobayashi metric on a strongly pseudoconvex domain with…
We prove that a backward orbit with bounded Kobayashi step for a hyperbolic or strongly elliptic holomorphic self-map of a bounded strongly convex domain in the d-dimensional complex Euclidean space necessarily converges to a boundary fixed…
For a Kobayashi hyperbolic domain, Abate introduced the notion of small and big horospheres of a given radius at a boundary point with a pole. In this article, we investigate which domains have the property that closed big horospheres and…
We characterize two classical types of conformality of a holomorphic self-map of the unit disk at a boundary point - existence of a finite angular derivative in the sense of Carath\'eodory and the weaker property of angle preservation - in…
We prove that the Koebe circle domain conjecture is equivalent to the Weyl type problem that every complete hyperbolic surface of genus zero is isometric to the boundary of the hyperbolic convex hull of the complement of a circle domain. It…
The Wong--Rosay theorem provides a characterization of the unit ball among all strongly pseudoconvex domains in terms of holomorphic automorphism group actions. We explore variants of this theorem in the quasiconformal setting.
We study bounded domains with certain smoothness conditions and the properties of their squeezing functions in order to prove that the domains are biholomorphic to the ball.
We study the spectrum $M_b(U)$ of the algebra of bounded type holomorphic functions on a complete Reinhardt domain in a symmetrically regular Banach space $E$ as an analytic manifold over the bidual of the space. In the case that $U$ is the…
Any Kaehler metric on the ball which is strongly asymptotic to complex hyperbolic space and whose scalar curvature is no less than the one of the complex hyperbolic space must be isometrically biholomorphic to it. This result has been known…
We prove that every continuous function on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space X can be uniformly approximated by smooth functions with no critical points. This kind of result can be regarded as a sort of very strong approximate…
In this paper we will investigate the global properties of complete Hilbert manifolds with upper and lower bounded sectional curvature. We shall prove the Focal Index Lemma that we will allow us to extend some classical results of finite…
