Let $D$ be a ${𝒞}^d$ $q$-convex intersection, $d\ge 2$, $0\le q\le n-1$, in a complex manifold $X$ of complex dimension $n$, $n\ge 2$, and let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle of rank $N$ over $X$. In this paper, ${𝒞}^k$-estimates, $k=2,3,\cdots ,\infty$, for solutions to the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with small loss of smoothness are obtained for $E$-valued $(0,s)$-forms on $D$ when $n-q\le s\le n$. In addition, we solve the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with a support condition in ${𝒞}^k$-spaces. More precisely, we prove that for a $\overline{\partial }$-closed form $f$ in ${𝒞}_{0,q}^k(X\setminus D,E)$, $1\le q\le n-2$, $n\ge 3$, with compact support and for $\epsilon$ with $0<\epsilon <1$ there...

Let ${ℱ}_h^i(k,n)$ be the $i$-th ordered configuration space of all distinct points $H_1,...,H_h$ in the Grassmannian $Gr(k,n)$ of $k$-dimensional subspaces of ${ℂ}^n$, whose sum is a subspace of dimension $i$. We prove that ${ℱ}_h^i(k,n)$ is (when non empty) a complex submanifold of $Gr{(k,n)}^h$ of dimension $i(n-i)+hk(i-k)$ and its fundamental group is trivial if $i=min(n,hk)$, $hk\ne n$ and $n\&gt;2$ and equal to the braid group of the sphere $ℂ$ $P^1$ if $n=2$. Eventually we compute the fundamental group in the special case of hyperplane arrangements, i.e. $k=n-1$.

In this paper we prove the following theorems in incidence geometry. 1. There is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le n^{(1+\delta )/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$ are collinear. If the number of the distinct lines is $<c{n}^{1/2}$ then the cross ratio of the four points is algebraic. 2. Given $c>0$, there is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,P_2,P_3\in {ℂ}^2$ noncollinear, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le c{n}^{1/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then for any $P\in {ℂ}^2\setminus \{P_1,P_2,P_3\}$, we have $\delta n$ distinct lines between $P$ and $Q_j$. 3. Given...

Let $E$ denote a holomorphic bundle with fiber $D$ and with basis $B$. Both $D$ and $B$ are assumed to be Stein. For $D$ a Reinhardt bounded domain of dimension $d=2$ or $3$, we give a necessary and sufficient condition on $D$ for the existence of a non-Stein such $E$ (Theorem $1$); for $d=2$, we give necessary and sufficient criteria for $E$ to be Stein (Theorem $2$). For $D$ a Reinhardt bounded domain of any dimension not intersecting any coordinate hyperplane, we give a sufficient criterion for $E$ to be Stein (Theorem...

Let $\Omega \subset {ℂ}^n$ be a bounded, simply connected $ℂ$-convex domain. Let $\alpha \in {\mathbb{Z}}_{+}^n$ and let $f$ be a function on $\Omega$ which is separately $C^{2{\alpha }_j-1}$-smooth with respect to $z_j$ (by which we mean jointly $C^{2{\alpha }_j-1}$-smooth with respect to $\mathrm{Re}{z}_j$, $\mathrm{Im}{z}_j$). If $f$ is $\alpha$-analytic on $\Omega \setminus f^{-1}\left(0\right)$, then $f$ is $\alpha$-analytic on $\Omega$. The result is well-known for the case ${\alpha }_i=1$, $1\le i\le n$, even when $f$ a priori is only known to be continuous.
