It is shown that if the squeezing function tends to one at an h-extendible boundary point of a $\mathcal C^\infty$-smooth, bounded pseudoconvex domain, then the point is strictly pseudoconvex.

The Conley theory has a tool to guarantee the existence of periodic trajectories in isolating neighborhoods of semi-dynamical systems. We prove that the positive trajectories generated by a piecewise-smooth vector field $Z=(X, Y)$ defined…

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.

In this paper we consider convex subsets of locally-convex topological vector spaces. Given a fixed point in such a convex subset, we show that there exists a curve completely contained in the convex subset and leaving the point in a given…

A zone diagram is a relatively new concept which has emerged in computational geometry and is related to Voronoi diagrams. Formally, it is a fixed point of a certain mapping, and neither its uniqueness nor its existence are obvious in…

It is shown that two strictly pseudoconvex Stein domains with real analytic boundaries have biholomorphic universal coverings provided that their boundaries are locally biholomorphically equivalent. This statement can be regarded as a…

In this paper (a sequel to B. Drinovec Drnovsek and F. Forstneric, Holomorphic curves in complex spaces, Duke Math. J. 139 (2007), 203-253) we obtain existence and approximation results for closed complex subvarieties that are normalized by…

In this paper, we prove that the closure of a bounded pseudoconvex domain, which is spirallike with respect to a globally asymptotic stable holomorphic vector field, is polynomially convex. We also provide a necessary and sufficient…

Assume that $D\subset \R^2$ is a strictly convex domain with $C^2-$smooth boundary. {\bf Theorem.} {\em If $\int_De^{ix}y^ndxdy=0$ for all sufficiently large $n$, then $D$ is a disc.}

In this paper, we first prove that the totally real discs lying in certain Levi flat hypersurfaces are polynomially convex. As applications we prove that the totally real discs lying in the boundary of certain polynomial polyhedra are…

A well-known conjecture of Caratheodory states that the number of umbilic points on a closed convex surface in ${\mathbb E}^3$ must be greater than one. In this paper we prove this for $C^{3+\alpha}$-smooth surfaces. The Conjecture is first…

The existence of a nondefective stationary disc attached to a nondegenerate model quadric in C^N is a necessary condition to ensure the unique 1-jet determination of the lifts of a key family of stationary discs. In this paper, we give an…

In this paper, we prove the existence theorem for longest paths in sub-Lorentzian problems, which generalizes the classical theorem for globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds. We specifically address the case of invariant structures on…

We prove analogs of Thom's transversality theorem and Whitney's theorem on immersions for pseudo-holomorphic discs. We also prove that pseudo-holomorphic discs form a manifold.

We prove an existence theorem for the sliding boundary variant of the Plateau problem for $2$-dimensional sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The simplest case of sufficient condition is when $n=3$ and the boundary $\Gamma$ is a finite disjoint union…
