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…

J. E. Fornaess has posed the question whether the boundary point of smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domain is strictly pseudoconvex, if the asymptotic limit of the squeezing function is 1. The purpose of this paper is to give an affirmative…

We give a geometric condition on a compact subset of a complex manifold which is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a smooth strictly plurisubharmonic function defined in a neighbourhood of this set.

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}^n$ be a bounded pseudoconvex domain. We define the Diederich-Forn{\ae}ss index with respect to a family of functions to be the supremum over the set of all exponents $0<\eta<1$ such that there exists a function…

In this note, we give an example of a domain whose $d$-balanced squeezing function is non-plurisubharmonic.

Let $u$ be a harmonic function in a $C^1$ domain $D\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, which vanishes on an open subset of the boundary. In this note we study its critical set $\{x \in \overline{D}: \nabla u(x) = 0 \}$. When $D$ is a $C^{1,\alpha}$…

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…

The classical Serrin's overdetermined theorem states that a $C^2$ bounded domain, which admits a function with constant Laplacian that satisfies both constant Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions, must necessarily be a ball. While…

We consider the mixed Dirichlet-conormal problem on irregular domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Two types of regularity results will be discussed: the $W^{1,p}$ regularity and a non-tangential maximal function estimate. The domain is assumed to be…

We prove that the gradient of any bounded subharmonic function is upper semi-continuous, provided that its super-level sets can be touched from the exterior by uniform $C^{1,\text{Dini}}$ domains at every point. This idea extends to a class…

Let $D=\{\rho<0\}$ be a smooth domain of finite type in an almost complex manifold (M,J) of real dimension four. We assume that the defining function $\rho$ is J-plurisubharmonic on a neighborhood of $\overline{D}$. We study the asymptotic…

The hybrid spectral problem where the field satisfies Dirichlet conditions (D) on part of the boundary of the relevant domain and Neumann (N) on the remainder is discussed in simple terms. A conjecture for the C_1 coefficient is presented…

We consider harmonic sections of a bundle over the complement of a codimension 2 submanifold in a Riemannian manifold, which can be thought of as multivalued harmonic functions. We prove a result to the effect that these are stable under…

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce and study the notion of plurifinely-maximal plurifinely plurisubharmonic functions, which extends the notion of maximal plurisubharmonic functions on a Euclidean domain to a plurifine domain of…

We show that every strictly pseudoconvex domain $\Omega$ with smooth boundary in a complex manifold $\mathcal{M}$ admits a global defining function, i.e., a smooth plurisubharmonic function $\varphi \colon U \to \mathbb R$ defined on an…

In this paper, we introduce a concept of super-pseudoconvex domain. We prove that the solution of the Feffereman equation on a smoothly bounded strictly pseudoconvex domain $D$ in $\CC^n$ is plurisubharmonic if and only if $D$ is…

We construct a real analytic Levi-flat hypersurface M in a neighborhood of an ellipsoid B in C^2 such that the each leaf of the Levi foliation of M is a complex disc, M intersects the boundary of B transversely, and the intersection A of M…

The classical results about the boundary values of holomorphic or harmonic functions on a domain $D$ state that under additional integrability assumptions these functions have limits along specific sets approaching boundary. The proofs of…

In this note, we study the approximation of singular plurifinely plurisubharmonic function $u$ defined on a plurifinely domain $\Omega$. Under some conditions, we prove that $u$ can be approximated by an increasing sequence of…

A question of Poletsky was to know if there exists a thin Hartogs figure such that any of its neighborhoods cannot be imbedded in Stein spaces. In \cite{chirka}, Chirka and Ivashkovitch gave such an example arising in an open complex…
