Let $\Omega$ be a smooth real analytic submanifold of a complex manifold $X$. We establish and study the link between the following 3 subjects: 1) topological properties of smooth families of attached analytic discs, the manifold $\Omega$…

Let T be a C^2-expanding self-map of a compact, connected, smooth, Riemannian manifold M. We correct a minor gap in the proof of a theorem from the literature: the set of points whose forward orbits are nondense has full Hausdorff…

The basic result of Oka theory, due to Gromov, states that every continuous map $f$ from a Stein manifold $S$ to an elliptic manifold $X$ can be deformed to a holomorphic map. It is natural to ask whether this can be done for all $f$ at…

The Runge approximation theorem for holomorphic maps (U -> C) is a fundamental result in complex analysis. The aim of this article is to prove such a result for (pseudo-)holomorphic maps from a compact Riemann surface to a compact…

We prove an inequality which quantifies the idea that a holomorphic self-map of the disc that perturbs two points is close to the identity function.

We construct examples of flat fiber bundles over the Hopf surface such that the total spaces have no pseudoconvex neighborhood basis, admit a complete K\"ahler metric, or are hyperconvex but have no nonconstant holomorphic functions. For…

For any link in the $3$-sphere, we give a visual construction of a stable map $f$ from the $3$-sphere into the real plane enjoying the following properties; $f$ has no cusp point, the set of definite fold points of $f$ is isotopic to the…

We show that biholomorphic maps between certain pairs of Runge domains in the complex affine space $\mathbb C^n$, $n>1$, are limits of holomorphic automorphisms of $\mathbb C^n$. A similar result holds for volume preserving maps and also in…

Let $F\subset\Bbb C^n$ be a proper closed subset of $\Bbb C^n$ and $A\subset\Bbb C^n\setminus F$ at most countable ($n\geq 2$). We give conditions of $F$ and $A$, under which there exists a holomorphic immersion (or a proper holomorphic…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold, and let $G$ be a compact simple Lie group with bi-invariant metric that is not $\operatorname{Sp}(n)$ for $n \geq 8$, $E_{8}$, $F_{4}$, or $G_{2}$. We show that the singular set of any stable…

We show that the group of holomorphic automorphisms of a Stein manifold X of dimension greater than 1 is infinite-dimensional, provided X is a homogeneous space of a holomorphic action of a complex Lie group.

Taking an elementary and straightforward approach, we develop the concept of a regular value for a smooth map f: O -> P between smooth orbifolds O and P. We show that Sard's theorem holds and that the inverse image of a regular value is a…

We first give an exposition on holomorphic isometries from the Poincar\'e disk to polydisks and from the Poincar\'e disk to the product of the Poincar\'e disk with a complex unit ball. As an application, we provide an example of proper…

Let $X$ be a connected compact 3-manifold with non-empty boundary. Consider the boundary $M$ of $X\times D^2$. $M$ is a 4-dimensional closed manifold and has the same fundamental group as $X$. Various examples of $X$ are known for which a…

As is well-known, given the complex sphere P^1 minus two points, there exist nonconstant holomorphic maps from the plane into this set, the simplest example of which is given by applying the exponential map and then composing with a…

We show that for a wide class of manifold pairs N, M satisfying dim(M) = dim(N) + 1, every \pi_1-injective map f : N --> M factorises up to homotopy as a finite cover of an embedding. This result, in the spirit of Waldhausen's torus…

Let $(\varphi_t)$, $(\phi_t)$ be two one-parameter semigroups of holomorphic self-maps of the unit disc $\mathbb D\subset \mathbb C$. Let $f:\mathbb D \to \mathbb D$ be a homeomorphism. We prove that, if $f \circ \phi_t=\varphi_t \circ f$…

Let X and Y be complex manifolds. One says that maps from X to Y satisfy the Oka principle if the inclusion of the space of holomorphic maps from X to Y into the space of continuous maps is a weak homotopy equivalence. In 1957 H. Grauert…

The disk complex of a surface in a 3-manifold is used to define its {\it topological index}. Surfaces with well-defined topological index are shown to generalize well-known classes, such as incompressible, strongly irreducible, and critical…
