In this paper, we mainly investigate the set of critical points associated to solutions of mean curvature equation with zero Dirichlet boundary condition in a strictly convex domain and a nonconvex domain respectively. Firstly, we deduce…

We prove that every continuous function on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space X can be uniformly approximated by smooth functions with no critical points. This kind of result can be regarded as a sort of very strong approximate…

Let $D\subset\mathbb{C}^n$ with $n>1$ be a pseudoconvex domain, possibly unbounded, that contains a non-smooth strongly pseudoconvex polyhedral boundary point. We show that the Bergman metric of $D$ is not Einstein.

We provide detailed local descriptions of stable polynomials in terms of their homogeneous decompositions, Puiseux expansions, and transfer function realizations. We use this theory to first prove that bounded rational functions on the…

In this paper, we study the geometry of bounded domains with piecewise smooth boundary. Specifically, we obtain the relationship between the squeezing function corresponding to polydisk and Levi flatness on bounded generic convex domains.…

We prove that in a strongly pseudoconvex domain with smooth boundary, then the length of a geodesic for the Kobayashi-Royden infinitesimal metric between two points is bounded by a constant multiple of the Euclidean distance between the…

It is an observation due to J.J. Kohn that for a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain D in $C^n$ there exists s>0 such that the dbar-Neumann operator on D maps $W^s_{(0,1)}(D)$ (the space of $(0,1)$-forms with coefficient functions in…

Our interest is the behavior of weak geodesics between two plurisubharmonic functions on pseudoconvex domains. We characterize the convergence condition along the geodesic between toric psh functions with a pole at origin on a unit ball in…

We develop a new technique for studying the boundary limiting behavior of a holomorphic function on a domain $\Omega$ -- both in one and several complex variables. The approach involves two new localized maximal functions. As a result of…

We show that the graph of a holomorphic motion of the unit disc cannot be biholomorphic to a strongly pseudoconvex domain in C n .

The (unbounded version of the) Lempert function $l_D$ on a domain $D\subset\Bbb C^d$ does not usually satisfy the triangle inequality, but on bounded $\mathcal C^2$-smooth strictly pseudoconvex domains, it satisfies a quasi triangle…

We provide some necessary and sufficient conditions for a proper lower semicontinuous convex function, defined on a real Banach space, to be locally or globally Lipschitz continuous. Our criteria rely on the existence of a bounded selection…

This pre-print has now been superseded by arXiv:2305.19934 and will not be published. We prove that for convex vectorial functionals with (p,q)-growth the Lavrentiev phenomenon does not occur up to the boundary when (p,q) are suitably…
