We provide some conditions for the graph of a Hoelder-continuous function on \bar{D}, where \bar{D} is a closed disc in the complex plane, to be polynomially convex. Almost all sufficient conditions known to date --- provided the function…

In this paper, we first consider the graph of $(F_1,F_{2},\cdots,F_{n})$ on $\overline{\mathbb{D}}^{n},$ where $F_{j}(z)=\bar{z}^{m_{j}}_{j}+R_{j}(z),j=1,2,\cdots,n,$ which has non-isolated CR-singularities if $m_{j}>1$ for some…

Let S be a smooth real surface in C^2 and let p\in S be a point at which the tangent plane is a complex line. How does one determine whether or not S is locally polynomially convex at such a p --- i.e. at a CR singularity ? Even when the…

Let $D$ be a closed disk in the complex plane centered at the origin, $f, g$ complex valued continuous function on $D$. Let $P[f,g; D]$ (res. $R[f, g; D])$) be the uniform closure on $D$ of polynomials (res. rational functions) in variables…

Under certain geometric condition, the surfaces in $\mathbb{C}^2$ with isolated CR singularity at the origin and with cubic lowest degree homogeneous term in its graph near the origin, can be reduced, up to biholomorphism of $\mathbb{C}^2$,…

We investigate the sets of uniform limits $A(\bar{B}_n)$, $A(\bar{D}^I)$ of polynomials on the closed unit ball $\bar{B}_n$ of $\mathbb{C}^n$ and on the cartesian product $\bar{D}^I$ where $I$ is an arbitrary set and $\bar{D}$ is the closed…

In this paper, we consider deformations of singular complex curves on complex surfaces. Despite the fundamental nature of the problem, little seems to be known for curves on general surfaces. Let $C\subset S$ be a complete integral curve on…

We consider the following question: Let $S_1$ and $S_2$ be two smooth, totally-real surfaces in $\mathbb{C}^2$ that contain the origin. If the union of their tangent planes is locally polynomially convex at the origin, then is $S_1 \cup…

Let $D$ be a closed unit $2$-disk on the plane centered at the origin $O$, and $F$ be a smooth vector field such that $O$ is a unique singular point of $F$ and all other orbits of $F$ are simple closed curves wrapping once around $O$. Thus…

In this paper we extend the dichotomy given by Samuelsson and Wold that can be thought of as an analogue of the Wermer maximality theorem in $\mathbb{C}^2$ for certain polynomial polyhedra. We consider complex non-degenerate simply…

In this paper, we consider real hypersurfaces $M$ in $\Bbb C^3$ (or more generally, 5-dimensional CR manifolds of hypersurface type) at uniformly Levi degenerate points, i.e. Levi degenerate points such that the rank of the Levi form is…

The paper considers a class of Lagrangian surfaces in $\mathbb C^2$ with isolated singularities of the unfolded Whitney umbrella type. We prove that generically such a surface is locally polynomially convex near a singular point of this…

We identify the complex plane C with the open unit disc D={z:|z|<1} by the homeomorphism z --> z/(1+|z|). This leads to a compactification $\bar{C}$ of C, homeomorphic to the closed unit disc. The Euclidean metric on the closed unit disc…

The initial motivation for this paper is to discuss a more concrete approach to an approximation theorem of Axler and Shields, which says that the uniform algebra on the closed unit disc closure(D) generated by z and h --- where h is a…

Let $M$ be a smooth manifold of dimension $n$ embedded in $\mathbb{C}^n$. If $T_pM \subset T_p\mathbb{C}^n$ is a totally real subspace for $p\in M$, then $M$ is locally polynomially convex at $p$. For a generic embedding $M$, we are…

Let M be a smooth connected compact surface, P be either the real line R^1 or the circle S^1, and f:M-->P be a smooth mapping. In a previous series of papers for the case when f is a Morse map the author calculated the homotopy types of…

We show that if $X$ is a totally real $d$-dimensional manifold attached to a polynomially convex compact set $K$ in $\mathbb{C}^n$, $d<n$, then there are arbitrarily small perturbations $X'$ of $X$ such that $K\cup X'$ is polynomially…

It is constructed a normal form for a class of real-smooth surfaces M\subset\mathbb{C}^{2} defined near a degenerate CR singularity.

We show that $C(X)$ admits an equivalent pointwise lower semicontinuous locally uniformly rotund norm provided $X$ is Fedorchuk compact of spectral height 3. In other words $X$ admits a fully closed map $f$ onto a metric compact $Y$ such…

Let f be a 1-variable complex polynomial such that f has a singularity at the origin. In the present paper, we show that there exists a deformation of f which has only fold singularities and cusps as singularities of a real polynomial map…
