In this paper, the definition of the derivative of meromorphic functions is extended to holomorphic maps from a plane domain into the complex projective space. We then use it to study the normality criteria for families of holomorphic maps. The results obtained generalize and improve Schwick's theorem for normal families.

We prove an extension theorem for Kähler currents with analytic singularities in a Kähler class on a complex submanifold of a compact Kähler manifold.

Let $D_j\subset {ℂ}^{k_j}$ be a pseudoconvex domain and let $A_j\subset D_j$ be a locally pluriregular set, j = 1,...,N. Put $X:={\bigcup }_{j=1}^{N}A₁\times ...\times A_{j-1}\times D_j\times A_{j+1}\times ...\times A_N\subset {ℂ}^{k₁+...+k_N}$. Let U be an open connected neighborhood of X and let M ⊊ U be an analytic subset. Then there exists an analytic subset M̂ of the “envelope of holomorphy” X̂ of X with M̂ ∩ X ⊂ M such that for every function f separately holomorphic on X∖M there exists an f̂ holomorphic on X̂∖M̂ with ${f̂|}_{X\setminus M}=f$. The result generalizes special cases which were studied in [Ökt 1998], [Ökt 1999], [Sic 2001], and [Jar-Pfl 2001].

The main result of the paper is a new Hartogs type extension theorem for generalized (N,k)-crosses with analytic singularities for separately holomorphic functions and for separately meromorphic functions. Our result is a simultaneous generalization of several known results, from the classical cross theorem, through the extension theorem with analytic singularities for generalized crosses, to the cross theorem with analytic singularities for meromorphic functions.

Let $\Sigma$ be a surface with a symplectic form, let $\phi$ be a symplectomorphism of $\Sigma$, and let $Y$ be the mapping torus of $\phi$. We show that the dimensions of moduli spaces of embedded pseudoholomorphic curves in $ℝ\times 𝕐$, with cylindrical ends asymptotic to periodic orbits of $\phi$ or multiple covers thereof, are bounded from above by an additive relative index. We deduce some compactness results for these moduli spaces. This paper establishes some of the foundations for a program with Michael Thaddeus, to understand...

Some relations between normal complex surface singularities and symplectic fillings of the links of the singularities are discussed. For a certain class of singularities of general type, which are called hypersurface K3 singularities in this paper, an inequality for numerical invariants of any minimal symplectic fillings of the links of the singularities is derived. This inequality can be regarded as a symplectic/contact analog of the 11/8-conjecture in 4-dimensional topology.

A Bochner-Martinelli-Koppelman type integral formula on submanifolds of pseudoconvex domains in Cn is derived; the result gives, in particular, integral formulas on Stein manifolds.

In the spirit of a theorem of Wood, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a family of germs of analytic hypersurfaces in a smooth projective toric variety $X$ to be interpolated by an algebraic hypersurface with a fixed class in the Picard group of $X$.

We show that a subanalytic map-germ (Rⁿ,0) → (Rⁿ,0) which is arc-analytic and bi-Lipschitz has an arc-analytic inverse.

Let (X, L) be a polarized algebraic manifold. Then for every test configuration μ = (X, L,Ψ) for (X, L) of exponent ℓ, we obtain an ℓ-th root (κ, D) of μ and Gm-equivariant desingularizations ι : X → X and η : X → Y, both isomorphic onX X̂ 0, such that [...] whereκ= (Y, Q, η) is a test configuration for (X, L) of exponent 1, and D is an effective Q-divisor onX such that ℓD is an integral divisor with support in the fiber X0. Then (κ, D) can be chosen in such a way that [...] where C1 and C2 are...

Let $G$ be a connected complex Lie group, $H$ a closed, complex subgroup of $G$ and $X:=G/H$. Let $R$ be the radical and $S$ a maximal semisimple subgroup of $G$. Attempts to construct examples of noncompact manifolds $X$ homogeneous under a nontrivial semidirect product $G=S⋉R$ with a not necessarily $G$-invariant Kähler metric motivated this paper. The $S$-orbit $S/S\cap H$ in $X$ is Kähler. Thus $S\cap H$ is an algebraic subgroup of $S$ [4]. The Kähler assumption on $X$ ought to imply the $S$-action on the base $Y$ of any homogeneous fibration $X\to Y$ is algebraic...
