We prove that every nonnegative continuous real-valued function on a given compact metric space is the uniform limit of some increasing sequence of nonnegative simple functions being linear combinations of indicators of open sets; here the…

We compare two known methods of extending a complex, unital, commutative normed algebra so as to include solutions to sets of monic polynomials over the original algebra. (One of these is a generalisation of a construction from the thesis…

Let $\Omega_1,\Omega_2$ be two disjoint open sets in $\mathbf C^n$ whose boundaries share a smooth real hypersurface $M$ as relatively open subsets. Assume that $\Omega_i$ is equipped with a complex structure $J^i$ which is smooth up to…

We prove an analogue of E. Levi's Continuity Principle for meromorphic mappings with values in arbitrary compact complex manifolds in place of the Riemann sphere $\cc\pp^1$. The result is achieved by introducing a new extension method for…

The notion of a shift-compact set in an abelian topological group $X$ plays a significant role in functional equations and inequalities, especially so since each Borel set that is not Haar-meagre, alternatively not Haar-null, is necessarily…

Let $S$ be a subset of a amenable group $G$ such that $e\in S$ and $S^{-1}=S$. The main result of the paper states that if the Cayley graph of $G$ with respect to $S$ has a certain combinatorial property, then every positive definite…

Suppose that $F$ is a smooth and connected complex surface (not necessarily compact) containing a smooth rational curve with positive self-intersection. We prove that if there exists a non-constant meromorphic function on $F$, then the…

We give an entire free holomorphic function $f$ which is unbounded on the row ball. That is, we give a holomorphic free noncommutative function which is continuous in the free topology developed by Agler and McCarthy but is unbounded on the…

Given a fixed-point free compact holomorphic self-map $f$ on a bounded symmetric domain $D$, which may be infinite dimensional, we establish the existence of a family $\{H(\xi, \lambda)\}_{\lambda >0}$ of convex $f$-invariant domains at a…

Let G be a complex Lie group, G_R a real form of G and X a G_R-stable domain of holomorphy in a complex G-manifold. If there is a G_R-invariant strictly plurisubharmonic function on X which has certain exhaustion properties, then we show…

It is a long-standing problem in Hodge theory to generalize the Satake--Baily--Borel (SBB) compactification of a locally Hermitian symmetric space to arbitrary period maps. A proper topological SBB-type completion has been constructed, and…

In this article we prove that every isometric copy of C(L) in C(K) is complemented if L is compact Hausdorff of finite height and K is a compact Hausdorff space satisfying the extension property, i.e., every closed subset of K admits an…

Given a strictly pseudoconvex domain G and a linear partial differential operator P with holomorphic coefficients, we derive sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to Pu = 0 which is holomorphic in G near a point p in the…

We determine completely the analytic functions $\varphi$ in the unit disk $\mathbb D$ such that for all (normalized) orientation-preserving harmonic mappings $f=h+\overline g$ produced by the shear construction with $h+g=\varphi$, the…

We consider A-hypergeometric functions associated to normal sets in the plane. We give a classification of all point configurations for which there exists a parameter vector such that the associated hypergeometric function is algebraic. In…

Suppose that f is a projective birational morphism with at most one-dimensional fibres between d-dimensional varieties X and Y, satisfying ${\bf R}f_* \mathcal{O}_X = \mathcal{O}_Y$. Consider the locus L in Y over which f is not an…

Let $H:M_m\to M_m$ be a holomorphic function of the algebra $M_m$ of complex $m\times m$ matrices. Suppose that $H$ is orthogonally additive and orthogonally multiplicative on self-adjoint elements. We show that either the range of $H$…

In a joint work with N. Mok in 1997, we proved that for an irreducible representation $G \subset {\bf GL}(V),$ if a holomorphic $G$-structure exists on a uniruled projective manifold, then the Lie algebra of $G$ has nonzero prolongation. We…

We consider a continuous function $f$ on a domain in $\mathbf C^n$ satisfying the inequality that $|\bar \partial f|\leq |f|$ off its zero set. The main conclusion is that the zero set of $f$ is a complex variety. We also obtain removable…

In $\C^2=\R^2+i\R^2$ with coordinates $z=(z_1,z_2), z=x+iy$, we consider a function $f$ continuous on a domain $\Omega$ of $\R^2$ separately real analytic in $x_1$ and CR extendible to $y_2$ (resp. CR extendible to $y_2>0$). This means that…
