We study when there exists a dense holomorphic curve in a space of holomorphic maps from a Stein space. We first show that for any bounded convex domain $\Omega\Subset\mathbb{C}^n$ and any connected complex manifold $Y$, the space…

The main theorem of the paper provides an existence criterion of holomorphic discs for higher $A_\infty$ operations. The key step is to show that if a minimal disc in a K\"ahler manifold with boundary in a sequence of Lagrangian…

We consider proper holomorphic maps of ball complements and differences in complex euclidean spaces of dimension at least two. Such maps are always rational, which naturally leads to a related problem of classifying rational maps taking…

A well-known class of questions asks the following: If $X$ and $Y$ are metric measure spaces and $f:X\rightarrow Y$ is a Lipschitz mapping whose image has positive measure, then must $f$ have large pieces on which it is bi-Lipschitz?…

Let X be a Kobayashi hyperbolic complex manifold, and assume that X does not contain compact complex submanifolds of positive dimension (e.g., X Stein). We shall prove the following generalization of Ritt's theorem: every holomorphic…

Let D be a domain in C^n with smooth boundary, of finite 1-type at a point p in the boundary and such that the closure of D has a basis of Stein Runge neighborhoods. Assume that there exists an analytic disc which intersects the closure of…

We prove the existence and study the geometry of Bishop discs near an elliptic point of a real n-dimensional submanifold of an almost complex n-dimensional manifold.

Let $X, Y$ be smooth algebraic varieties of the same dimension. Let $f, g : X \to Y$ be finite polynomial mappings. We say that $f, g$ are equivalent if there exists a regular automorphism $\Phi \in Aut(X)$ such that $f = g\circ \Phi$. Of…

We study proper rational maps from the unit disk to balls in higher dimensions. After gathering some known results, we study the moduli space of unitary equivalence classes of polynomial proper maps from the disk to a ball, and we establish…

Finite dimensional Stein spaces admitting a proper holomorphic embedding of the complex line are characterized, among all complex spaces, by their holomorphic endomorphism semigroup in the sense that any semigroup isomorphism induces either…

For a map $f:X \to M$ into a manifold $M$, we study the sets of deficient and multiple points of $f$. In case of the set of deficient points, we estimate its dimension. For multiple points, we study its density in $X$, and we also provide…

An existence theorem for stationary discs of strongly pseudoconvex domains in almost complex manifolds is proved. More precisely, it is shown that, for all points of a suitable neighborhood of the boundary and for any vector belonging to…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be compact connected complex manifolds of the same dimension with $b_2(X)= b_2(Y)$. We prove that any surjective holomorphic map of degree one from $X$ to $Y$ is a biholomorphism. A version of this was established by the…

We prove that a Stein manifold admits a closed holomorphic 1-form without zeros in every class of the first cohomology group. We also prove an approximation result for closed holomorphic 1-forms without zeros defined in a neighborhood of a…

We give the following positive answer to Gromov's question (in "Oka's principle for holomorphic sections of elliptic bundles", J. Amer. Math. Soc. 2, 851-897 (1989), 3.4.(D), page 881). THEOREM: If every holomorphic map from a compact…

The paper gives the following characterization of the disc algebra in terms of the argument principle: A continuous function f on the unit circle T extends holomorphically through the unit disc if and only if for each polynomial P such that…

Let $n>1$ be an integer. We prove that holomorphic maps from Stein manifolds $X$ of dimension $<n$ to the complement $\mathbb{C}^n\setminus L$ of a compact convex set $L\subset\mathbb{C}^n$ satisfy the basic Oka property with approximation…

The purpose of this paper is to define semi- and subanalytic subsets and maps in the context of real analytic orbifolds and to study their basic properties. We prove results analogous to some well-known results in the manifold case. For…

We prove a result on the structure of finite proper holomorphic mappings between complex manifolds that are products of hyperbolic Riemann surfaces. While an important special case of our result follows from the ideas developed by Remmert…

We show that any two holomorhpic maps, not both of which are constant, from a generalized Hopf manifold to its base must have a coincidence. We prove a similar result for holomorphic maps from a generalized Calabi-Eckmann manifold.
