One of the oldest open problems in the classical function theory is whether every open Riemann surface admits a proper holomorphic embedding into C^2. In this paper we prove the following Theorem: If D is a bordered Riemann surface whose…

In this paper we develop the theory of approximation for holomorphic null curves in the special linear group ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$. In particular, we establish Runge, Mergelyan, Mittag-Leffler, and Carleman type theorems for the family…

In this paper we obtain a Carleman approximation theorem for maps from Stein manifolds to Oka manifolds. More precisely, we show that under suitable complex analytic conditions on a totally real set $ M $ of a Stein manifold $X$, every…

A continuous map C^d -> C^N is a complex k-regular embedding if any k pairwise distinct points in C^d are mapped by f into k complex linearly independent vectors in C^N. Our central result on complex k-regular embeddings extends results of…

We give a characterization of stratified totally real sets that admit Carleman approximation by entire functions. As an application we show that the product of two stratified totally real Carleman continua is a Carleman continuum.

We show that Connes' embedding conjecture (CEC) is equivalent to a real version of the same (RCEC). Moreover, we show that RCEC is equivalent to a real, purely algebraic statement concerning trace positive polynomials. This purely algebraic…

Let $X$ be a Stein manifold of dimension $n\ge 1$. Given a continuous positive increasing function $h$ on $\mathbb R_+=[0,\infty)$ with $\lim_{t\to\infty} h(t)=\infty$, we construct a proper holomorphic embedding $f=(z,w):X\hookrightarrow…

Given a Stein manifold X of dimension n>1, a discrete sequence a_j in X, and a discrete sequence b_j in C^m where m > [3n/2], there exists a proper holomorphic embedding of X into C^m which sends a_j to b_j for every j=1,2,.... This is the…

For certain bordered submanifolds $M\subset\CC^2$ we show that $M$ can be embedded properly and holomorphically into $\CC^2$. An application is that any subset of a torus with two boundary components can be embedded properly into $\CC^2$.

Let $X$ be an open Riemann surface. We prove an Oka property on the approximation and interpolation of continuous maps $X \to (\mathbb{C}^*)^2$ by proper holomorphic embeddings, provided that we permit a smooth deformation of the complex…

We use discrete holomorphic polynomials to prove that, given a refining sequence of critical maps of a Riemann surface, any holomorphic function can be approximated by a converging sequence of discrete holomorphic functions.
