Zeroes of complete polynomial vector fields

We prove that a complete polynomial vector field on has at most one zero, and analyze the possible cases of those with exactly one which is not of Poincaré-Dulac type. We also obtain the possible nonzero first jet singularities of the foliation at infinity and the nongenericity of completeness. Connections with the Jacobian Conjecture are established.

     

The Dimension Function of Holomorphic Spaces of a Real Submanifold of an Almost Complex Manifold

Let M be a real submanifold of an almost complex manifold and let be the maximal holomorphic subspace, for each x M. We prove that c:M,c(x)=dim H _x is upper-semicontinuous.     

Holomorphic K-Theory, Algebraic Co-cycles, and Loop Groups

In this paper we study the holomorphic K-theory of a projective variety. This K-theory is defined in terms of the homotopy type of spaces of holomorphic maps from the variety to Grassmannians and loop groups. This theory is built out of studying algebraic bundles over a variety up to algebraic equivalence. In this paper we will give calculations of this theory for flag like varieties which include projective spaces, Grassmannians, flag manifolds, and more general homogeneous spaces, and also give a complete calculation for symmetric products of projective spaces. Using the algebraic geometric definition of the Chern character studied by the authors we will show that there is a rational isomorphism of graded rings between holomorphic K-theory and the appropriate morphic cohomology groups, in terms of algebraic co-cycles in the variety. In so doing we describe a geometric model for rational morphic cohomology groups in terms of the homotopy type of the space of algebraic maps from the variety to the symmetrized loop group U(n)/ _n where the symmetric group _n acts on U(n) via conjugation. This is equivalent to studying algebraic maps to the quotient of the infinite Grassmannians BU(k) by a similar symmetric group action. We then use the Chern character isomorphism to prove a conjecture of Friedlander and Walker stating that if one localizes holomorphic K-theory by inverting the Bott class, then rationally this is isomorphic to topological K-theory. Finally this will allows us to produce explicit obstructions to periodicity in holomorphic K-theory, and show that these obstructions vanish for generalized flag mani-folds.     

Unbounded convex mappings of the ball in

In this paper, we study univalent holomorphic mappings of the unit ball in that have the property that the image contains a line for some , . We show that under certain rather reasonable conditions, up to composition with a holomorphic automorphism of the ball, the mapping is an extension of the strip mapping in the plane to higher dimensions.

     

On the ε-entropy of classes of holomorphic functions

Suppose thatB _R ^d is a ball of radiusR in ℂ ^d and σ is the standard measure on the unit sphere in ℂ ^d . ForR>1, 1≤p≤∞, and for the natural numbersl, d, byH _R ⁰ (l, p, d) we denote the class of functionsf holomorphic inB _R ^d and such that in the homogeneous polynomial expansion of the firstl summands the zero and radial derivatives of orderl belong to the closed unit ball of the Hardy spaceH ^p (B _R ^d ). In this paper an asymptotic formula for the ε-entropy of the classH _R ⁰ (l, p, d) in the spacesL ^p (σ), 1≤p<∞, and is obtained.

Applications of Tauberian theorems in some problems in mathematical physics

We give some multidimensional Tauberian theorems for generalized functions and show examples of their application in mathematical physics. In particular, we consider the problems of stabilizing the solutions of the Cauchy problem for the heat kernel equation, multicomponent gas diffusion, and the asymptotic Cauchy problem for a free Schrödinger equation in the norms of different Banach spaces among others.     

Characterization of standard embeddings between complex Grassmannians by means of varieties of minimal rational tangents

In 1993,Tsal proved that a proper holomorphic mapping f:Ω→Ω' from an irreducible bounded symmetric domainΩof rank≥2 into a bounded symmetric domainΩ' is necessarily totally geodesic provided that r':=rank(Ω')≤rank(Ω):= r,proving a conjecture of the author's motivated by Hermitian metric rigidity.As a first step in the proof,Tsai showed that df preserves almost everywhere the set of tangent vectors of rank 1.Identifying bounded symmetric domains as open subsets of their compact duals by means of the Borel embedding,this means that the germ of f at a general point preserves the varieties of minimal rational tangents(VMRTs). In another completely different direction Hwang-Mok established with very few exceptions the Cartan- Fubini extension priniciple for germs of local biholomorphisms between Fano manifolds of Picard num- ber 1,showing that the germ of map extends to a global biholomorphism provided that it preserves VMRTs.We propose to isolate the problem of characterization of special holomorphic embeddings between Fano manifolds of Picard number 1,especially in the case of classical manifolds such as ratio- nal homogeneous spaces of Picard number 1,by a non-equidimensional analogue of the Cartan-Fubini extension principle.As an illustration we show along this line that standard embeddings between com- plex Grassmann manifolds of rank≤2 can be characterized by the VMRT-preserving property and a non-degeneracy condition,giving a new proof of a result of Neretin's which on the one hand paves the way for far-reaching generalizations to the context of rational homogeneous spaces and more generally Fano manifolds of Picard number 1,on the other hand should be applicable to the study of proper holomorphic mappings between bounded domains carrying some form of geometric structures.     

SOME REMARKS ON HOLOMORPHIC FUNCTIONS AND TAYLOR SERIES IN Cn

Some previous results on convergence of Taylor series in Cn [3] are improved by indicating outside the domain of convergence the points where the series diverges and simplifying some proofs. These results contain the Cauchy-Hadamard theorem in C. Some Cauchy integral formulas of a holomorphic function on a closed ball in Cn are constructed and the Taylor series expansion is deduced.     

THE MAIN INVARIANTS OF A COMPLEX FINSLER SPACE

In this paper we extend the results obtained in [3], where are investigated the general settings of the two-dimensional complex Finsler manifolds, with respect to a local complex Berwald frame. The geometry of such manifolds is controlled by three real invariants which live on T ′M : two horizontal curvature invariants K and W and one vertical curvature invariant I. By means of these invariants are defined both the horizontal and the vertical holomorphic sectional curvatures. The complex Landsberg and Berwald spaces are of particular interest. Complex Berwald spaces coincide with K¨ahler spaces, in the two-dimensional case. We establish the necessary and sufficient condition under which K is a constant and we obtain a characterization for the K¨ahler purely Hermitian spaces by the fact K = W = constant and I = 0. For the class of complex Berwald spaces we have K = W = 0.Finally, a classification of two-dimensional complex Finsler spaces for which the horizontal curvature satisfies a special property is obtained.
