We present a version of the identity principle for analytic sets, which shows that the extension theorem for separately holomorphic functions with analytic singularities follows from the case of pluripolar singularities.

Let $\Omega$ an open set in ${\mathbf{C}}^4$ near $z_0\in \partial \Omega$, $\lambda$ a suitable holomorphic function near $z_0$. If we know that we can solve the following problem (see [M. Derridj, Annali. Sci. Norm. Pisa, Série IV, vol. IX (1981)]) : $\bar{\partial }u=\lambda f$, ($f$ is a $(0,1)$ form, $\bar{\partial }$ closed in $U\left(z_0\right)$ in $U\left(z_0\right)$ with supp$\left(u\right)\subset \bar{\Omega }\cap U(z_0)$, then we deduce an extension result for $C.R.$ functions on $\partial \Omega \cap U\left(z_0\right)$, as holomorphic fonctions in $\Omega \cap V\left(z_0\right)$.

We extend the theory of separately holomorphic mappings between complex analytic spaces. Our method is based on Poletsky theory of discs, Rosay theorem on holomorphic discs and our recent joint-work with Pflug on boundary cross theorems in dimension $1.$ It also relies on our new technique of conformal mappings and a generalization of Siciak’s relative extremal function. Our approach illustrates the unified character: “From local information to global extensions”. Moreover, it avoids systematically...

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 $D\subset \subset {ℂ}^n,n\ge 2$, be a domain with $C^2$-boundary and $K\subset \partial D$ be a compact set such that $\partial D\setminus K$ is connected. We study univalent analytic extension of CR-functions from $\partial D\setminus K$ to parts of $D$. Call $K$ CR-convex if its $A\left(D\right)$-convex hull, $A\left(D\right)-\mathrm{hull}\left(K\right)$, satisfies $K=\partial D\cap A\left(D\right)-\mathrm{hull}\left(K\right)$ ($A\left(D\right)$ denoting the space of functions, which are holomorphic on $D$ and continuous up to $\partial D$). The main theorem of the paper gives analytic extension to $\partial D\setminus A\left(D\right)-\mathrm{hull}\left(K\right)$, if $K$ is CR- convex.

We establish new results on weighted $L^2$-extension of holomorphic top forms with values in a holomorphic line bundle, from a smooth hypersurface cut out by a holomorphic function. The weights we use are determined by certain functions that we call denominators. We give a collection of examples of these denominators related to the divisor defined by the submanifold.

We first give a general growth version of the theorem of Bernstein-Walsh-Siciak concerning the rate of convergence of the best polynomial approximation of holomorphic functions on a polynomially convex compact subset of an affine algebraic manifold. This can be considered as a quantitative version of the well known approximation theorem of Oka-Weil. Then we give two applications of this theorem. The first one is a generalization to several variables of Winiarski's theorem relating the growth of...
