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…

It is well known that if $h$ is a nonnegative harmonic function in the ball of $\RR^{d+1}$ or if $h$ is harmonic in the ball with integrable boundary values, then the radial limit of $h$ exists at almost every point of the boundary. In this…

We study extremal discs for the Kobayashi metric. Inspired by work of Lempert on strongly convex domains, we present results on strongly pseudoconvex domains. We also consider a useful biholomorphic invariant, inspired by the Kobayashi (and…

Let $P \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$ be a closed convex cone. Assume that $P$ is pointed, i.e. the intersection $P \cap -P=\{0\}$ and $P$ is spanning, i.e. $P-P=\mathbb{R}^{d}$. Denote the interior of $P$ by $\Omega$. Let $E$ be a product system…

We study the relations between boundaries for algebras of holomorphic functions on Banach spaces and complex convexity of their balls. In addition, we show that the Shilov boundary for algebras of holomorphic functions on an order…

Hierarchically hyperbolic spaces provide a common framework for studying mapping class groups of finite type surfaces, Teichm\"uller space, right-angled Artin groups, and many other cubical groups. Given such a space $\mathcal X$, we build…

We prove that every continuous mapping from a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $X$ into $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ can be uniformly approximated by $C^\infty$ smooth mappings {\em with no critical points}. This kind of result can be…

A notable example due to Heier, Lu, Wong, and Zheng shows that there exist compact complex K\"ahler manifolds with ample canonical line bundle such that the holomorphic sectional curvature is negative semi-definite and vanishes along…

In this paper, we study the domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$ that are invariant under the positive flows of some globally defined, complete holomorphic vector field with a globally attracting fixed point at the origin. Our first result says that…

The Wong-Rosay theorem characterizes the strongly pseudoconvex domains of $\mathbb{C}^n$ by their automorphism groups. It has a lot of generalizations to other kinds of domains (for example, the weakly pseudoconvex domains). However, most…

We prove that there exists an automorphism of C^2 tangent to the identity with a domain of attraction to the origin, biholomorphic to the origin, along a degenerate characteristic direction.

We obtain a conceptually new differential geometric proof of P.F. Klembeck's result that the holomorphic sectional curvature of a strictly pseudoconvex domain approaches (in the boundary limit) the constant sectional curvature of the…

Let $H^n$ be the metric space of all bounded domains in $C^n$ with the metric equal to the Hausdorff distance between boundaries of domains. We prove that the dimension of the group of automorphisms of domains is an upper semicontinuous…

We study local biholomorphisms with finite orbits in some neighborhood of the origin since they are intimately related to holomorphic foliations with closed leaves. We describe the structure of the set of periodic points in dimension 2. As…

In this paper we establish a gap theorem for the complex geometry of smoothly bounded convex domains which informally says that if the complex geometry near the boundary is close to the complex geometry of the unit ball, then the domain…

In this paper we introduce a hyperbolic distance $\delta$ on the noncommutative open ball $[B(H)^n]_1$, where $B(H)$ is the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space $H$, which is a noncommutative extension of the…

In this paper, we proved that for a bounded Hopf-symmetric domain $\Omega$ in a noncompact rank one symmetric space $M$, the second Dirichlet eigenvalue $\lambda_2 (\Omega) \leq \lambda_2 (B_1)$ where $B_1$ is a geodesic ball in $M$ such…

We prove that the non-squeezing theorem of Gromov holds for symplectomorphisms on an infinite-dimensional symplectic Hilbert space, under the assumption that the image of the ball is convex. The proof is based on the construction by duality…

We consider an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space and its family of compact integrable cocycles over a dynamical system f. Assuming that f acts in a compact Hausdorff space X and preserves a Borel regular ergodic measure which is…

A homeomorphism on a compact metric space is said hyper-expansive if every pair of different compact sets are separated by the homeomorphism in the Hausdorff metric. We characterize such dynamics as those with a finite number of orbits and…
