We introduce an analogue of Payne's nodal line conjecture, which asserts that the nodal (zero) set of any eigenfunction associated with the second eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian on a bounded planar domain should reach the boundary of…

A seminal result of Agler characterizes the so-called Schur-Agler class of functions on the polydisk in terms of a unitary colligation transfer function representation. We generalize this to the unit ball of the algebra of multipliers for a…

The Patterson-Sullivan construction is proved almost surely to recover a Bergman function from its values on a random discrete subset sampled with the determinantal point process induced by the Bergman kernel on the unit ball $\mathbb{D}_d$…

We prove that for every $n \ge 2$, there exists a pseudoconvex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ such that $\mathfrak{c}^0(\Omega) \subsetneq \mathfrak{c}^1(\Omega)$, where $\mathfrak{c}^k(\Omega)$ denotes the core of $\Omega$ with…

In the space $\mathbb{C}$ of the parameters $\lambda$ of the unicritical polynomials family $f(\lambda,z)=f_\lambda(z)=z^d+\lambda$ of degree $d>1$, we establish a quantitative equidistribution result towards the bifurcation current (indeed…

In this paper we are concerned with the number of critical points of solutions of nonlinear elliptic equations. We will deal with the case of non-convex, contractile and non-contractile planar domains. We will prove results on the estimate…

We introduce the class of $n$-extremal holomorphic maps, a class that generalises both finite Blaschke products and complex geodesics, and apply the notion to the finite interpolation problem for analytic functions from the open unit disc…

In the paper `Distinguished Varieties,' Agler and McCarthy used Hilbert function spaces to study the uniqueness properties of the Nevanlinna-Pick problem on the bidisc. In this work we give a geometric procedure for constructing a…

Let $(M^{n},g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold with $Ric\geq-(n-1) $. It is well known that the bottom of spectrum $\lambda_{0}$ of its unverversal covering satisfies $\lambda_{0}\leq(n-1) ^{2}/4 $. We prove that equality holds iff $M$ is…

We analyze the large-$n$ behavior of soliton solutions of the integrable focusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with associated spectral data consisting of a single pair of conjugate poles of order $2n$. Starting from the zero…

Nevanlinna theory studies the value distribution of meromorphic functions and provides powerful results in the form of the First and Second Main Theorems. In this paper, we introduce quaternionic analogues of the Nevanlinna functions.…

In 1971 J. Serrin proved that, given a smooth bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ and $u$ a positive solution of the problem: \begin{equation*} \begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u = f(u) &\mbox{in $\Omega$, } u =0 &\mbox{on…

We consider a free interpolation problem in Nevanlinna and Smirnov classes and find a characterization of the corresponding interpolating sequences in terms of the existence of harmonic majorants of certain functions. We also consider the…

The theory of Nevanlinna-Pick and Carath\'eodory-Fej\'er interpolation for matrix- and operator-valued Schur class functions on the unit disk is now well established. Recent work has produced extensions of the theory to a variety of…

We consider general (not necessarily Hamiltonian) first-order symmetric system $J y'-B(t)y=\D(t) f(t)$ on an interval $\cI=[a,b) $ with the regular endpoint $a$. A distribution matrix-valued function $\Si(s), \; s\in\bR,$ is called a…

The paper deals with the asymptotic behavior as $\eps\to 0$ of the spectrum of Laplace-Beltrami operator $\Delta\e$ on the Riemannian manifold $M\e$ ($\mathrm{\dim} M\e=N\geq 2$) depending on a small parameter $\eps>0$. $M\e$ consists of…

We formulate three boundary Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problems for generalized Nevanlinna functions. For each problem, we parameterize the set of all solutions in terms of a linear fractional transformation with an extended Nevanlinna…

In this paper, we give several characterizations of Herglotz-Nevanlinna functions in terms of a specific type of positive semi-definite functions called Poisson-type functions. This allows us to propose a multidimensional analogue of the…

An upper estimate for the Lempert function of any $C^{1+\epsilon}$-smooth bounded domain in $\Bbb C^n$ is found in terms of the boundary distance.

We show that a bilinear estimate for biharmonic functions in a Lipschitz domain $\Omega$is equivalent to the solvability of the Dirichlet problem for the biharmonic equationin $\Omega$. As a result, we prove that for any given bounded…
