Let X be an analytic set defined by polynomials whose coefficients $a₁,...,a_s$ are holomorphic functions. We formulate conditions on sequences $a_{1,\nu },...,a_{s,\nu }$ of holomorphic functions converging locally uniformly to $a₁,...,a_s$, respectively, such that the sequence $X_{\nu }$ of sets obtained by replacing $a_j$’s by $a_{j,\nu }$’s in the polynomials converges to X.

We study the spaces $H_{\mu }\left(\Omega \right)=f:\Omega \to ℂholomorphic:{\int }_0^R{\int }_0^{2\pi }\left|f\left(r{e}^{i\phi }\right)\right|d\phi d\mu \left(r\right)<\infty$ where Ω is a disc with radius R and μ is a given probability measure on [0,R[. We show that, depending on μ, $H_{\mu }\left(\Omega \right)$ is either isomorphic to l₁ or to ${\left(\sum \oplus Aₙ\right)}_{\left(1\right)}$. Here Aₙ is the space of all polynomials of degree ≤ n endowed with the L₁-norm on the unit sphere.

Let $\parallel ·\parallel$ be the uniform norm in the unit disk. We study the quantities $M_n\left(\alpha \right):=inf(\parallel zP\left(z\right)+\alpha \parallel -\alpha )$ where the infimum is taken over all polynomials $P$ of degree $n-1$ with $\parallel P\left(z\right)\parallel =1$ and $\alpha >0$. In a recent paper by Fournier, Letac and Ruscheweyh (Math. Nachrichten 283 (2010), 193-199) it was shown that ${inf}_{\alpha >0}{M}_n\left(\alpha \right)=1/n$. We find the exact values of $M_n\left(\alpha \right)$ and determine corresponding extremal polynomials. The method applied uses known cases of maximal ranges of polynomials.

Let K be any subset of ${ℂ}^N$. We define a pluricomplex Green’s function $V_{K,\theta }$ for θ-incomplete polynomials. We establish properties of $V_{K,\theta }$ analogous to those of the weighted pluricomplex Green’s function. When K is a regular compact subset of ${ℝ}^N$, we show that every continuous function that can be approximated uniformly on K by θ-incomplete polynomials, must vanish on $K\setminus supp{\left(d{d}^c{V}_{K,\theta }\right)}^N$. We prove a version of Siciak’s theorem and a comparison theorem for θ-incomplete polynomials. We compute $supp{\left(d{d}^c{V}_{K,\theta }\right)}^N$ when K is a compact...

Let D and ∂D denote the open unit disk and the unit circle of the complex plane, respectively. We denote by ₙ (resp. ${ₙ}^c$) the set of all polynomials of degree at most n with real (resp. complex) coefficients. We define the truncation operators Sₙ for polynomials $Pₙ\in {ₙ}^c$ of the form $Pₙ\left(z\right):={\sum }_{j=0}^n{a}_j{z}_j$, $a_j\in C$, by $Sₙ\left(Pₙ\right)\left(z\right):={\sum }_{j=0}^{n}a{̃}_j{z}_j$, $a{̃}_j:=a_j\left|a_j\right|min|a_j|,1$ (here 0/0 is interpreted as 1). We define the norms of the truncation operators by $\parallel Sₙ{\parallel }_{\infty ,\partial D}^{real}:=su{p}_{Pₙ\in ₙ}(ma{x}_{z\in \partial D}\left|Sₙ\left(Pₙ\right)\left(z\right)\right|)/(ma{x}_{z\in \partial D}\left|Pₙ\left(z\right)\right|)$, $\parallel Sₙ{\parallel }_{\infty ,\partial D}^{comp}:=su{p}_{Pₙ\in {ₙ}^c}(ma{x}_{z\in \partial D}\left|Sₙ\left(Pₙ\right)\left(z\right)\right|)/(ma{x}_{z\in \partial D}\left|Pₙ\left(z\right)\right|$. Our main theorem establishes the right order of magnitude of the above norms: there is an absolute constant c₁...

For n ∈ ℕ, L > 0, and p ≥ 1 let ${\kappa }_p(n,L)$ be the largest possible value of k for which there is a polynomial P ≠ 0 of the form $P\left(x\right)={\sum }_{j=0}^n{a}_j{x}^j$, $|a_0\left|\ge L\right({\sum }_{j=1}^n|a_j{|}^p$1/p$,$aj ∈ ℂ$,$such that ${(x-1)}^k$ divides P(x). For n ∈ ℕ and L > 0 let ${\kappa }_{\infty }(n,L)$ be the largest possible value of k for which there is a polynomial P ≠ 0 of the form $P\left(x\right)={\sum }_{j=0}^n{a}_j{x}^j$, $|a_0|\ge Lma{x}_{1\le j\le n}|a_j|$, $a_j\in ℂ$, such that ${(x-1)}^k$ divides P(x). We prove that there are absolute constants c₁ > 0 and c₂ > 0 such that $c_1\surd (n/L)-1\le {\kappa }_{\infty }(n,L)\le c_2\surd (n/L)$ for every L ≥ 1. This complements an earlier result of the authors valid for every n ∈ ℕ and L ∈...

Let $V$ be the complex vector space of homogeneous linear polynomials in the variables $x_1,...,x_m$. Suppose $G$ is a subgroup of $S_m$, and $\chi$ is an irreducible character of $G$. Let $H_d(G,\chi )$ be the symmetry class of polynomials of degree $d$ with respect to $G$ and $\chi$. For any linear operator $T$ acting on $V$, there is a (unique) induced operator $K_{\chi }\left(T\right)\in \mathrm{End}\left(H_d(G,\chi )\right)$ acting on symmetrized decomposable polynomials by $$K_{\chi }\left(T\right)(f_1*f_2*...*f_d)=T{f}_1*T{f}_2*...*T{f}_d.$$ In this paper, we show that the representation $T\mapsto K_{\chi }\left(T\right)$ of the general linear group $GL\left(V\right)$ is equivalent to the direct sum of $\chi \left(1\right)$ copies...

The paper deals with the approximation by polynomials with integer coefficients in $L_p(0,1)$, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞. Let $P_{n,r}$ be the space of polynomials of degree ≤ n which are divisible by the polynomial $x^r{(1-x)}^r$, r ≥ 0, and let $P_{n,r}^{\mathbb{Z}}\subset P_{n,r}$ be the set of polynomials with integer coefficients. Let $\mu (P_{n,r}^{\mathbb{Z}};L_p)$ be the maximal distance of elements of $P_{n,r}$ from $P_{n,r}^{\mathbb{Z}}$ in $L_p(0,1)$. We give rather precise quantitative estimates of $\mu (P_{n,r}^{\mathbb{Z}};L₂)$ for n ≳ 6r. Then we obtain similar, somewhat less precise, estimates of $\mu (P_{n,r}^{\mathbb{Z}};L_p)$ for p ≠ 2. It follows that $\mu (P_{n,r}^{\mathbb{Z}};L_p)\asymp n^{-2r-2/p}$ as n → ∞. The results...

Let $X$ denote either ${\mathrm{ℂ\mathbb{P}}}^m$ or ${ℂ}^m$. We study certain analytic properties of the space ${ℰ}^n(X,gp)$ of ordered geometrically generic $n$-point configurations in $X$. This space consists of all $q=(q_1,\cdots ,q_n)\in X^n$ such that no $m+1$ of the points $q_1,\cdots ,q_n$ belong to a hyperplane in $X$. In particular, we show that for a big enough $n$ any holomorphic map $f:{ℰ}^n({\mathrm{ℂ\mathbb{P}}}^m,gp)\to {ℰ}^n({\mathrm{ℂ\mathbb{P}}}^m,gp)$ commuting with the natural action of the symmetric group $𝐒\left(n\right)$ in ${ℰ}^n({\mathrm{ℂ\mathbb{P}}}^m,gp)$ is of the form $f\left(q\right)=\tau \left(q\right)q=(\tau \left(q\right)q_1,\cdots ,\tau \left(q\right)q_n)$, $q\in {ℰ}^n({\mathrm{ℂ\mathbb{P}}}^m,gp)$, where $\tau :{ℰ}^n({\mathrm{ℂ\mathbb{P}}}^m,gp)\to \mathrm{𝐏𝐒𝐋}(m+1,ℂ)$ is an $𝐒\left(n\right)$-invariant holomorphic map. A similar result holds true for mappings of the configuration...

We give in ${ℝ}^6$ a real analytic almost complex structure $J$, a real analytic hypersurface $M$ and a vector $v$ in the Levi null set at $0$ of $M$, such that there is no germ of $J$-holomorphic disc $\gamma$ included in $M$ with $\gamma \left(0\right)=0$ and $\frac{\partial \gamma }{\partial x}\left(0\right)=v$, although the Levi form of $M$ has constant rank. Then for any hypersurface $M$ and any complex structure $J$, we give sufficient conditions under which there exists such a germ of disc.

Following the line of Ouyang et al. (1998) to study the ${}_p$ spaces of holomorphic functions in the unit ball of ℂⁿ, we present in this paper several results and relations among ${}_p\left(ₙ\right)$, the α-Bloch, the Dirichlet ${}_p$ and the little ${}_{p,0}$ spaces.

Let $f$ be a non-invertible holomorphic endomorphism of a projective space and $f^n$ its iterate of order $n$. We prove that the pull-back by $f^n$ of a generic (in the Zariski sense) hypersurface, properly normalized, converges to the Green current associated to $f$ when $n$ tends to infinity. We also give an analogous result for the pull-back of positive closed $(1,1)$-currents and a similar result for regular polynomial automorphisms of ${ℂ}^k$.

The extremal functions  $f_0\left(z\right)$  realizing the maxima of some functionals (e.g. $max|a_3|$, and  $maxarg{f}^{{}^{\text{'}}}\left(z\right)$) within the so-called universal linearly invariant family $U_{\alpha }$ (in the sense of Pommerenke [10]) have such a form that $f_0^{{}^{\text{'}}}\left(z\right)$  looks similar to generating function for Meixner-Pollaczek (MP) polynomials [2], [8]. This fact gives motivation for the definition and study of the generalized Meixner-Pollaczek (GMP) polynomials $P_n^{\lambda }(x;\theta ,\psi )$ of a real variable $x$ as coefficients of $$G^{\lambda }(x;\theta ,\psi ;z)=\frac{1}{{(1-z{e}^{i\theta })}^{\lambda -ix}{(1-z{e}^{i\psi })}^{\lambda +ix}}=\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }{P}_n^{\lambda }(x;\theta ,\psi )z^n,\left|z\right|<1,$$ where the parameters $\lambda$, $\theta$, $\psi$ satisfy the conditions:...

For n ∈ ℕ, L > 0, and p ≥ 1 let ${\kappa }_p(n,L)$ be the largest possible value of k for which there is a polynomial P ≢ 0 of the form $P\left(x\right)={\sum }_{j=0}^n{a}_j{x}^j$, $|a_0\left|\ge L\right({\sum }_{j=1}^n|a_j{{|}^p)}^{1/p}$, $a_j\in ℂ$, such that ${(x-1)}^k$ divides P(x). For n ∈ ℕ, L > 0, and q ≥ 1 let ${\mu }_q(n,L)$ be the smallest value of k for which there is a polynomial Q of degree k with complex coefficients such that $\left|Q\left(0\right)\right|>1/L({\sum }_{j=1}^n{\left|Q\left(j\right)\right|}^q{)}^{1/q}$. We find the size of ${\kappa }_p(n,L)$ and ${\mu }_q(n,L)$ for all n ∈ ℕ, L > 0, and 1 ≤ p,q ≤ ∞. The result about ${\mu }_{\infty }(n,L)$ is due to Coppersmith and Rivlin, but our proof is completely different and much shorter even...

For a given direction $𝐛\in {ℂ}^n\setminus \left\{\mathbf{0}\right\}$ we study non-homogeneous directional linear higher-order equations whose all coefficients belong to a class of joint continuous functions which are holomorphic on intersection of all directional slices with a unit ball. Conditions are established providing boundedness of $L$-index in the direction with a positive continuous function $L$ satisfying some behavior conditions in the unit ball. The provided conditions concern every solution belonging to the same class...

Let $D$ be an open set of a Stein manifold $X$ of dimension $n$ such that $H^k(D,𝒪)=0$ for $2\le k\le n-1$. We prove that $D$ is Stein if and only if every topologically trivial holomorphic line bundle $L$ on $D$ is associated to some Cartier divisor $𝔡$ on $D$.

Let $D_j$ be a bounded hyperconvex domain in ${ℂ}^{n_j}$ and set $D=D₁\times \cdots \times D_s$, j=1,...,s, s ≥ 3. Also let ${\Omega }_{\pi }$ be the image of D under the proper holomorphic map π. We characterize those continuous functions $f:\partial {\Omega }_{\pi }\to ℝ$ that can be extended to a real-valued pluriharmonic function in ${\Omega }_{\pi }$.

We obtain an estimate on the average cardinality (d,s,a) of the value set of any family of monic polynomials in ${}_q\left[T\right]$ of degree d for which s consecutive coefficients $a=(a_{d-1},...,a_{d-s})$ are fixed. Our estimate asserts that $(d,s,a)={\mu }_{d}q+\left(q^{1/2}\right)$, where ${\mu }_d:={\sum }_{r=1}^d\left({(-1)}^{r-1}\right)/(r!)$. We also prove that $₂(d,s,a)=\mu {²}_{d}q²+\left(q^{3/2}\right)$, where ₂(d,s,a) is the average second moment of the value set cardinalities for any family of monic polynomials of ${}_q\left[T\right]$ of degree d with s consecutive coefficients fixed as above. Finally, we show that $₂(d,0)=\mu {²}_{d}q²+\left(q\right)$, where ₂(d,0) denotes the average second moment for...

Motivated by the relationship between the area of the image of the unit disk under a holomorphic mapping $h$ and that of $zh$, we study various $L^2$ norms for $T_{\varphi }\left(h\right)$, where $T_{\varphi }$ is the Toeplitz operator with symbol $\varphi$. In Theorem , given polynomials $p$ and $q$ we find a symbol $\varphi$ such that $T_{\varphi }\left(p\right)=q$. We extend some of our results to the polydisc.

Given $\{h_1,\cdots ,h_t\}$ a finite subset of ${ℝ}^d$, we study the continuous complex valued functions and the Schwartz complex valued distributions $f$ defined on ${ℝ}^d$ with the property that the forward differences ${\Delta }_{h_k}^{m_k}f$ are (in distributional sense) continuous exponential polynomials for some natural numbers $m_1,\cdots ,m_t$.

Motivated by the paper by H. Herrlich, E. Tachtsis (2017) we investigate in ZFC the following compactness question: for which uncountable cardinals $\kappa$, an arbitrary nonempty system $S$ of homogeneous $\mathbb{Z}$-linear equations is nontrivially solvable in $\mathbb{Z}$ provided that each of its subsystems of cardinality less than $\kappa$ is nontrivially solvable in $\mathbb{Z}$?
