We consider a convexity notion for complex spaces $X$ with respect to a holomorphic line bundle $L$ over $X$. This definition has been introduced by Grauert and, when $L$ is analytically trivial, we recover the standard holomorphic convexity. In this circle of ideas, we prove the counterpart of the classical Remmert’s reduction result for holomorphically convex spaces. In the same vein, we show that if $H^0(X,L)$ separates each point of $X$, then $X$ can be realized as a Riemann domain over the complex projective...

If $(M,\nabla )$ is a manifold with a symmetric linear connection, then $T^{*}M$ can be endowed with the natural Riemann extension $\overline{g}$ (O. Kowalski and M. Sekizawa (2011), M. Sekizawa (1987)). Here we continue to study the harmonicity with respect to $\overline{g}$ initiated by C. L. Bejan and O. Kowalski (2015). More precisely, we first construct a canonical almost para-complex structure $𝒫$ on $(T^{*}M,\overline{g})$ and prove that $𝒫$ is harmonic (in the sense of E. García-Río, L. Vanhecke and M. E. Vázquez-Abal (1997)) if and only if $\overline{g}$ reduces...

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 X be a Riemann domain over ${ℂ}^k\times {ℂ}^{\ell }$. If X is a domain of holomorphy with respect to a family ℱ ⊂(X), then there exists a pluripolar set $P\subset {ℂ}^k$ such that every slice $X_a$ of X with a∉ P is a region of holomorphy with respect to the family ${f|}_{X_a}:f\in ℱ$.

Let (U) denote the algebra of holomorphic functions on an open subset U ⊂ ℂⁿ and Z ⊂ (U) its finite-dimensional vector subspace. By the theory of least spaces of de Boor and Ron, there exists a projection ${}_b$ from the local ring ${}_{n,b}$ onto the space $Z_b$ of germs of elements of Z at b. At a general point b ∈ U its kernel is an ideal and ${}_b$ induces the structure of an Artinian algebra on $Z_b$. In particular, this holds at points where the kth jets of elements of Z form a vector bundle for each k ∈...

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 $X$ 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.

We describe all ${ℱ}^2{ℳ}_{m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2}$-natural operators $D:Q_{proj-proj}^{\tau }⇝Q{T}^{*}$ transforming projectable-projectable classical torsion-free linear connections $\nabla$ on fibred-fibred manifolds $Y$ into classical linear connections $D\left(\nabla \right)$ on cotangent bundles $T^{*}Y$ of $Y$. We show that this problem can be reduced to finding ${ℱ}^2{ℳ}_{m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2}$-natural operators $D:Q_{proj-proj}^{\tau }⇝(T^{*},{\otimes }^p{T}^{*}\otimes {\otimes }^{q}T)$ for $p=2$, $q=1$ and $p=3$, $q=0$.

Let $u$ be a holomorphic function and $\varphi$ a holomorphic self-map of the open unit disk $𝔻$ in the complex plane. We provide new characterizations for the boundedness of the weighted composition operators $u{C}_{\varphi }$ from Zygmund type spaces to Bloch type spaces in $𝔻$ in terms of $u$, $\varphi$, their derivatives, and ${\varphi }^n$, the $n$-th power of $\varphi$. Moreover, we obtain some similar estimates for the essential norms of the operators $u{C}_{\varphi }$, from which sufficient and necessary conditions of compactness of $u{C}_{\varphi }$ follows immediately. ...

Consider the following uniformization problem. Take two holomorphic (parametrized by some analytic set defined on a neighborhood of $0$ in ${ℂ}^p$, for some $p\>0$) or differentiable (parametrized by an open neighborhood of $0$ in ${ℝ}^p$, for some $p\>0$) deformation families of compact complex manifolds. Assume they are pointwise isomorphic, that is for each point $t$ of the parameter space, the fiber over $t$ of the first family is biholomorphic to the fiber over $t$ of the second family. Then, under which conditions...

Let ${}_{\infty }\left(B_X\right)$ be the Banach space of all bounded and continuous functions on the closed unit ball $B_X$ of a complex Banach space X and holomorphic on the open unit ball, with sup norm, and let ${}_u\left(B_X\right)$ be the subspace of ${}_{\infty }\left(B_X\right)$ of those functions which are uniformly continuous on $B_X$. A subset $B\subset B_X$ is a boundary for ${}_{\infty }\left(B_X\right)$ if $\parallel f\parallel =su{p}_{x\in B}\left|f\left(x\right)\right|$ for every $f{\in }_{\infty }\left(B_X\right)$. We prove that for X = d(w,1) (the Lorentz sequence space) and X = C₁(H), the trace class operators, there is a minimal closed boundary for ${}_{\infty }\left(B_X\right)$. On the other hand, for X = , the Schreier...

Let $E$ be a holomorphic Banach bundle over a compact complex manifold, which can be defined by a cocycle of holomorphic transition functions with values of the form $\mathrm{id}+K$ where $K$ is compact. Assume that the characteristic fiber of $E$ has the compact approximation property. Let $n$ be the complex dimension of $X$ and $0\le q\le n$. Then: If $V\to X$ is a holomorphic vector bundle (of finite rank) with $H^q(X,V)=0$, then $dim{H}^q(X,V\otimes E)\<\infty$. In particular, if $dim{H}^q(X,𝒪)=0$, then $dim{H}^q(X,E)\<\infty$.

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 ${ℂ}^k$.

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 prove that any first order ${ℱ}_2{ℳ}_{m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2}$-natural operator transforming projectable general connections on an $(m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2)$-dimensional fibred-fibred manifold $p=(p,p):(p_Y:Y\to Y)\to (p_M:M\to M)$ into general connections on the vertical prolongation $VY\to M$ of $p:Y\to M$ is the restriction of the (rather well-known) vertical prolongation operator $𝒱$ lifting general connections $\overline{\Gamma }$ on a fibred manifold $Y\to M$ into $𝒱\overline{\Gamma }$ (the vertical prolongation of $\overline{\Gamma }$) on $VY\to M$.
