It is an elementary fact that the action by holomorphic automorphisms on C^n is infinitely transitive, i.e., m-transitive for any m in N. The same holds on any Stein manifold with the holomorphic density property X. We study a parametrized…

We prove that the classical Oka property of a complex manifold Y, concerning the existence and homotopy classification of holomorphic mappings from Stein manifolds to Y, is equivalent to a Runge approximation property for holomorphic maps…

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…

Let $(E,h)$ be a semipositive hermitian holomorphic line bundle on a compact complex manifold $X$ with $\dim X>1$. Assume that for each point $x\in X$ there exists a divisor $D\in |E|$ in the complete linear system determined by $E$ whose…

In a previous work, the authors introduced the notion of `coherent tangent bundle', which is useful for giving a treatment of singularities of smooth maps without ambient spaces. Two different types of Gauss-Bonnet formulas on coherent…

Suppose that Y is a complex manifold with the property that any holomorphic map from a compact convex set in a complex Euclidean space C^n (for any n) to Y is a uniform limit of entire maps from C^n to Y. We prove that a holomorphic map…

We prove the parametric homotopy principle for holomorphic immersions of Stein manifolds into Euclidian space and the homotopy principle with approximation on holomorphically convex sets. We write an integration by parts like formula for…

In this text we expose basic cases of some fundamental ideas and methods of topology. Namely, of homotopy, degree, fundamental group, covering, Whitehead invariant, etc. This is done by considering the elementary example: closed polygonal…

In this note, we show that the homotopy type of a complex manifold X satisfying the Oka property is captured by holomorphic maps from the affine spaces C^n, n\geq 0, into X. Among such X are all complex Lie groups and their homogeneous…

We prove a homotopy theorem for sheaves. Its application shortens and simplifies the proof of many Oka principles such as Gromov's Oka principle for elliptic submersions.

Let $X$ be an open Riemann surface. We prove an Oka property on the approximation and interpolation of continuous maps $X \to (\mathbb{C}^*)^2$ by proper holomorphic embeddings, provided that we permit a smooth deformation of the complex…

Let $G$ be a reductive complex Lie group acting holomorphically on normal Stein spaces $X$ and $Y$, which are locally $G$-biholomorphic over a common categorical quotient $Q$. When is there a global $G$-biholomorphism $X\to Y$? If the…
