The paper is related to the author's talk at the Hayama Symposium in Complex Analysis in December 2000. In section 1 we survey results on the Oka principle for sections of holomorphic submersions over Stein manifolds. In section 2 we apply…

This is a survey on the homotopy principle in complex analysis on Stein manifolds, also called the Oka principle in this context. We concentrate on the following topics: the Oka-Grauert principle (classification of holomorphic vector…

We obtain results on approximation of holomorphic maps by algebraic maps, jet transversality theorems for holomorphic and algebraic maps, and the homotopy principle for holomorphic submersions of Stein manifolds to certain algebraic…

In this article, we prove that if $\Pi: X\to \Omega$ is a surjective holomorphic map, with $\Omega$ a Stein space and $X$ a complex manifold of dimension $n\geq 3,$ and if, for every $x\in \Omega$ there exists an open neighborhood $U$ such…

Gromov, in his seminal 1989 paper on the Oka principle, introduced the notion of an elliptic manifold and proved that every continuous map from a Stein manifold to an elliptic manifold is homotopic to a holomorphic map. We show that a much…

Let X be a complex nonsingular affine algebraic variety, K a holomorphically convex subset of X, and Y a homogeneous variety for some complex linear algebraic group. We prove that a holomorphic map f:K-->Y can be uniformly approximated on K…

In this paper we present the main developments in Oka theory since the publication of my book Stein Manifolds and Holomorphic Mappings (The Homotopy Principle in Complex Analysis)}, Second Edition, Springer, 2017. We also give several new…

In this paper we provide sufficient conditions for the graphs of holomorphic mappings on compact sets in complex manifolds to have Stein neighborhoods. We show that under these conditions the mappings have properties analogous to properties…

We prove a boundary version of the open mapping theorem for holomorphic maps between strongly pseudoconvex domains. That is, we prove that the local image of a holomorphic map $f:D\to D'$ close to a boundary regular contact point $p\in \de…

Let $X$ be an elliptic curve and $\mathbb{P}$ the Riemann sphere. Since $X$ is compact, it is a deep theorem of Douady that the set $\mathcal{O}(X,\mathbb{P})$ consisting of holomorphic maps $X\to \mathbb{P}$ admits a complex structure. If…

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…

Let X be a compact (resp. compact and nonsingular) real algebraic variety and let Y be a homogeneous space for some linear real algebraic group. We prove that a continuous (resp. C^infinity) map f:X-->Y can be approximated by regular maps…

In this paper we find big Euclidean domains in complex manifolds. We consider open neighbourhoods of sets of the form $K\cup M$ in a complex manifold $X$, where $K$ is a compact $\mathscr O(U)$-convex set in an open Stein neighbourhood $U$…

Given a holomorphic submersion of reduced complex spaces, we prove that the basic Oka property of the submersion implies the parametric Oka property. This generalizes the corresponding result for complex manifolds (F. Forstneric, Oka…

Let $X$ be a smooth open manifold of even dimension, $T$ be a topological space, and $\mathscr{J}=\{J_t\}_{t\in T}$ be a continuous family of smooth integrable Stein structures on $X$. Under suitable additional assumptions on $T$ and…

We prove that the openness of the set of maps, between a Stein manifold and an Oka manifold, transverse to a stratification of a complex analytic subvariety in the target implies that the stratification is Whitney $a$-regular. Our result…

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…

The following selection theorem is established:\\ Let $X$ be a compactum possessing a binary normal subbase $\mathcal S$ for its closed subsets. Then every set-valued $\mathcal S$-continuous map $\Phi\colon Z\to X$ with closed $\mathcal…

We show that every smooth closed oriented four-manifold admits a decomposition into two co- dimension zero submanifolds with common boundary. Each of these submanifolds carries a structure of a symplectic manifold with pseudo-convex…

We introduce the notion of a stratified Oka manifold and prove that such a manifold $X$ is strongly dominable in the sense that for every $x\in X$, there is a holomorphic map $f:\C^n\to X$, $n=\dim X$, such that $f(0)=x$ and $f$ is a local…
