Fatou–Bieberbach Domains as Basins of Attraction of Automorphisms Tangent to the Identity

We prove that there exists an automorphism of ℂ² tangent to the identity with a domain of attraction D to the origin, biholomorphic to ℂ², along a degenerate characteristic direction. Our automorphism of ℂ² is conjugate to a translation in D. We also prove the existence of a curve Γ, a biholomorphic copy of ℂ, entirely contained in the boundary of D. In our construction Γ is tangent to the z-axis in a neighborhood of the origin. The automorphisms we construct also fix the w-axis; therefore we obtain D, a Fatou–Bieberbach domain that does not intersect two biholomorphic copies of ℂ locally transversal at the origin.     

Characterization of the unit ball in C<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript> among complex manifolds of dimension<Emphasis Type="BoldItalic">n</Emphasis>

We show that if the group of holomorphic automorphisms of a connected complex manifold M of dimension n is isomorphic as a topological group equipped with the compact-open topology to the automorphism group of the unit ball B ⁿ ⊂ ℂ ⁿ ,then M is biholomorphically equivalent to B ⁿ.     

Invariant currents and dynamical Lelong numbers

Let ƒ be a polynomial automorphism of ℂ^k of degree λ, whose rational extension to ℙ^k maps the hyperplane at infinity to a single point. Given any positive closed current S on ℙ^k of bidegree (1,1), we show that the sequence λ⁻ⁿ(ƒⁿ)*S converges in the sense of currents on ℙ^k to a linear combination of the Green current T₊ of ƒ and the current of integration along the hyperplane at infinity. We give an interpretation of the coefficients in terms of generalized Lelong numbers with respect to an invariant dynamical current for ƒ⁻¹.     

On dimensions of the groups of biholomorphic automorphisms of real-analytic hypersurfaces

In this paper we study the dependence of the local geometry of real-analytic hypersuffaces in ℂ ⁿ on the dimension of the group of biholomorphic automorphisms of this surface. We also classify the hypersurfaces in terms of this group. We present some examples showing that the classes of the given construction are not empty. We find a new formulation of the Freeman theorem on the so-called straightening of a real-analytic CR-submanifold in ℂ ⁿ with degenerate Levi form of constant rank.

Canonical models for a class of polynomially convex hulls

We use holomorphic motions and Beltrami equation to study a class of polynomially convex hulls in ℂ ² with Jordan fibers over the disc D. It is shown that every such hull is biholomorphically equivalent to a unique (up to suitable normalisation) canonical model. These models are the hulls whose complements in D×ℂmacr; are biholomorphic to a bidisc and are further characterized in terms of capacity of the fibers, Green’s function, pseudoconcavity and approximability by (very) special analytic polyhedra.

Finite jet determination of CR embeddings

We prove finite jet determination results for smooth CR embeddings, which are of constant degeneracy, using the method of complete systems. As an application, we obtain a reflection principle for mappings between a Levinondegenerate hypersurface in ℂ ^N and a Levinondegenerate hypersurface in ℂ ^N+1.We also give an independent proof of the reflection principle for mappings between strictly pseudoconvex hypersurfaces in any codimension due to Forstneric [14].     

Cohomologie de Hochschild et espaces projectifs tronqués

In this paper, we outline the construction of obstructions tok-formality wherek is a field of arbitrary characteristic. We show that the obstructions to intrinsick-formality of a graded algebraH ^* lie in the Hochschild cohomologyH H ^m,1 (H ^*/k, H ^*). We calculate explicitly the Hochschild cohomology of the algebraH(ℂP ^∞/ℂP ⁿ ;k) and deduce that the stunted complex projective space ℂP ^∞/ℂP ⁿ is intrinsicallyk-formal for any fieldk.

Perturbed Basins of Attraction

Let F be an automorphism of which has an attracting fixed point. It is well known that the basin of attraction is biholomorphically equivalent to . We will show that the basin of attraction of a sequence of automorphisms f ₁, f ₂, . . . is also biholomorphic to if every f _n is a small perturbation of the original map F.     

Interpolation by holomorphic automorphisms and embeddings in Cn

Let n > 1 and let C ⁿ denote the complex n-dimensional Euclidean space. We prove several jet-interpolation results for nowhere degenerate entire mappings F:C ⁿ →C ⁿ and for holomorphic automorphisms of C ⁿ on discrete subsets of C ⁿ.We also prove an interpolation theorem for proper holomorphic embeddings of Stein manifolds into C ⁿ.For each closed complex submanifold (or subvariety) M ⊂ C ⁿ of complex dimension m < n we construct a domain Ω ⊂C ⁿ containing M and a biholomorphic map F: Ω → C ⁿ onto C ⁿ with J F ≡ 1such that F(M) intersects the image of any nondegenerate entire map G:C ^n−m →C ⁿ at infinitely many points. If m = n − 1, we construct F as above such that C ⁿ ∖F(M) is hyperbolic. In particular, for each m ≥ 1we construct proper holomorphic embeddings F:C ^m →C ^m−1 such that the complement C ^m+1 ∖F(C ^m )is hyperbolic.     

Attracting current and equilibrium measure for attractors on ℙ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis></Superscript>

Let f be a holomorphic endomorphism of ℙ ^k having an attracting setA. We construct an attracting current and an equilibrium measure associated toA. The attracting current is weakly laminar and extremal in the cone of invariant currents. The equilibrium measure is mixing and has maximal entropy onA.     

Homogeneous Hypersurfaces in ℂ<Superscript>3</Superscript>, Associated with a Model CR-Cubic

The model 4-dimensional CR-cubic in ℂ³ has the following “model” property: it is (essentially) the unique locally homogeneous 4-dimensional CR-manifold in ℂ³ with finite-dimensional infinitesimal automorphism algebra \mathfrakg\mathfrak{g} and non-trivial isotropy subalgebra. We study and classify, up to local biholomorphic equivalence, all \mathfrakg\mathfrak{g}-homogeneous hypersurfaces in ℂ³ and also classify the corresponding local transitive actions of the model algebra \mathfrakg\mathfrak{g} on hypersurfaces in ℂ³.     

A Mergelyan Theorem for mappings to ℂ2∖ℝ2

We investigate the question whether a Mergelyan Theorem holds for mappings to ℂⁿ ∖ A. The main result is the prove of such a theorem for mappings to ℂ²∖ℝ².

Bouquet and join theorems for disentanglements

The disentanglement of certain augmentations is shown to be the topological join of a disentanglement and a Milnor fibre. The kth disentanglement of a finite map is defined and for corank 1 maps from ℂ ⁿ to ℂ ^{n +1} it is shown that they are homotopically equivalent to a wedge of spheres. Applications to the Mond conjecture are given. Oblatum 24-VII-2000 & 5-VII-2001?Published online: 12 October 2001     

On the roper-suffridge extension operator

In 1995, Roper and Suffridge defined an extension operator which maps a locally biholomorphic function on the unit diskD in ℂ to a locally biholomorphic mapping on the unit ballB ⁿ in ℂⁿ. This extension operator preserves many important properties, e.g., convexity and starlikeness, etc. In this note, we introduce the family ofε starlike mappings, and prove that the Roper-Suffridge extension operator preserves theε starlikeness on some Reinhardt domains. This result includes many known results and solves an open problem of Graham and Kohr. Project supported by the National Science Foundation of China.     

A local extension theorem for proper holomorphic mappings in ℂ<Superscript>2</Superscript>

Let ƒ: D → D′ be a proper holomorphic mapping between bounded domains D, D′ in ℂ².Let M, M′ be open pieces on δD, δD′, respectively that are smooth, real analytic and of finite type. Suppose that the cluster set of M under ƒ is contained in M′. It is shown that ƒ extends holomorphically across M. This can be viewed as a local version of the Diederich-Pinchuk extension result for proper mappings in ℂ².     

On quasi-convex mappings of order α in the unit ball of a complex Banach space

In this paper, a class of biholomorphic mappings named quasi-convex mapping of order α in the unit ball of a complex Banach space is introduced. When the Banach space is confined to ℂ ⁿ , we obtain the relation between this class of mappings and the convex mappings. Furthermore, the growth and covering theorems of this class of mappings are given on the unit ball of a complex Banach space X. Finally, we get the second order terms coefficient estimations of the homogeneous expansion of quasi-convex mapping of order α defined on the polydisc in ℂ ⁿ and on the unit ball in a complex Banach space, respectively.

On proper holomorphic self-maps of generalized complex ellipsoids

The purpose of this paper is to prove that every proper holomorphic self-mapping of a Reinhardt domain Ω in C ⁿ which is a generalization of a complex ellipsoid is biholomorphic. The main novelty of our result is that Ω is a domain in C ⁿ such that it is allowed to have a boundary point at which the Levi determinant has infinite order of vanishing.     

Bloch Constant of Holomorphic Mappings on the Unit Ball of ℂ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>*

In this paper, the authors establish distortion theorems for various subfamilies Hk(B) of holomorphic mappings defined in the unit ball in Cn with critical points, where k is any positive integer. In particular, the distortion theorem for locally biholomorphic mappings is obtained when k tends to oo. These distortion theorems give lower bound son det f(z) and Redet f'(z). As an application of these distortion theorems, the authors give lower and upper bounds of Bloch constants for the subfamilies βk (M) of holomorphic mappings. Moreover, these distortion theorems are sharp. When B is the unit disk in C, these theorems reduce to the results of Liu and Minda. A new distortion result of Re det f'(z) for locally biholomorphic mappings is also obtained.     

Explicit expression of Cartan’s connection for Levi-nondegenerate 3-manifolds in complex surfaces,and identification of the Heisenberg sphere

We study effectively the Cartan geometry of Levi-nondegenerate C ⁶-smooth hypersurfaces M ³ in ℂ². Notably, we present the so-called curvature function of a related Tanaka-type normal connection explicitly in terms of a graphing function for M, which is the initial, single available datum. Vanishing of this curvature function then characterizes explicitly the local biholomorphic equivalence of such M ³ ⊂ ℂ² to the Heisenberg sphere ℍ³, such M’s being necessarily real analytic.
