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 we investigate the global behavior of proper holomorphic maps f from the unit disc U={|z|<1} to C^2. The fact that U is transcendental imposes certain restrictions on the image f(U). For instance, f(U) cannot be contained in…

We show that if $E$ is a closed convex set in $\mathbb C^n$ $(n>1)$ contained in a closed halfspace $H$ such that $E\cap bH$ is nonempty and bounded, then the concave domain $\Omega = \mathbb C^n\setminus E$ contains images of proper…

We prove the existence of global Bishop discs in a strictly pseudoconvex Stein domain in an almost complex manifold of complex dimension 2.

We study pseudoholomorphic discs with boundaries attached to a real hypersurface in an almost complex manifold of dimension 2. We prove that if the hypersurface contains no discs, then they fill a one sided neighborhood of the hypersurface.

The envelope of holomorphy of an arbitrary domain in a two-dimensional Stein manifold is identified with a connected component of the set of equivalence classes of analytic discs immersed into the Stein manifold with boundary in the domain.…

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…

Let U be the open unit disc in C and let B be the open unit ball in C^2. We prove that every discrete subset of B is contained in the range f(U) of a complete, proper holomorphic embedding f:U-->B. Here the completeness of f means that for…
