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.

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 $f$ 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 ${ℂ}^k$.

In this article, we study germs of holomorphic vector fields which are “higher order” perturbations of a quasihomogeneous vector field in a neighborhood of the origin of ${ℂ}^n$, fixed point of the vector fields. We define a “Diophantine condition” on the quasihomogeneous initial part $S$ which ensures that if such a perturbation of $S$ is formally conjugate to $S$ then it is also holomorphically conjugate to it. We study the normal form problem relatively to $S$. We give a condition on $S$ that ensures...

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 ${\Omega }_{\pi }$.

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 ${\left(L_n\right)}_{n\ge 0}$ be the Lucas sequence. We show that the Diophantine equation $L_n-L_m=M_k$ has only the nonnegative integer solutions $(n,m,k)=(2,0,1)$, $(3,1,2)$, $(3,2,1)$, $(4,3,2)$, $(5,3,3)$, $(6,2,4)$, $(6,5,3)$ where $M_k=2^k-1$ is the $k$th Mersenne number and $n>m$.

Let $F_n$ denote the $n^{th}$ term of the Fibonacci sequence. In this paper, we investigate the Diophantine equation $F_1^p+2F_2^p+\cdots +k{F}_k^p=F_n^q$ in the positive integers $k$ and $n$, where $p$ and $q$ are given positive integers. A complete solution is given if the exponents are included in the set $\{1,2\}$. Based on the specific cases we could solve, and a computer search with $p,q,k\le 100$ we conjecture that beside the trivial solutions only $F_8=F_1+2F_2+3F_3+4F_4$, $F_4^2=F_1+2F_2+3F_3$, and $F_4^3=F_1^3+2F_2^3+3F_3^3$ satisfy the title equation.

We consider $N$, the number of solutions $(x,y,u,v)$ to the equation ${(-1)}^{u}r{a}^x+{(-1)}^{v}s{b}^y=c$ in nonnegative integers $x,y$ and integers $u,v\in \{0,1\}$, for given integers $a\>1$, $b\>1$, $c\>0$, $r\>0$ and $s\>0$. When $gcd(ra,sb)=1$, we show that $N\le 3$ except for a finite number of cases all of which satisfy $max(a,b,r,s,x,y)\<2·{10}^{15}$ for each solution; when $gcd(a,b)\>1$, we show that $N\le 3$ except for three infinite families of exceptional cases. We find several different ways to generate an infinite number of cases giving $N=3$ solutions.

Let $[·]$ be the floor function. In this paper, we prove by asymptotic formula that when $1<c<\frac{3441}{2539}$, then every sufficiently large positive integer $N$ can be represented in the form $$N=\left[p_1^c\right]+\left[p_2^c\right]+\left[p_3^c\right]+\left[p_4^c\right]+\left[p_5^c\right],$$ where $p_1$, $p_2$, $p_3$, $p_4$, $p_5$ are primes such that $p_1=x^2+y^2+1$.

We study questions related to exceptional sets of pluri-Green potentials $V_{\mu }$ in the unit ball B of ℂⁿ in terms of non-isotropic Hausdorff capacity. For suitable measures μ on the ball B, the pluri-Green potentials $V_{\mu }$ are defined by $V_{\mu }\left(z\right)={\int }_{B}log(1/|{\varphi }_z\left(w\right)\left|\right)d\mu \left(w\right)$, where for a fixed z ∈ B, ${\varphi }_z$ denotes the holomorphic automorphism of B satisfying ${\varphi }_z\left(0\right)=z$, ${\varphi }_z\left(z\right)=0$ and $\left({\varphi }_z\circ {\varphi }_z\right)\left(w\right)=w$ for every w ∈ B. If dμ(w) = f(w)dλ(w), where f is a non-negative measurable function of B, and λ is the measure on B, invariant under all holomorphic automorphisms of...

Suppose that ${\lambda }_1,{\lambda }_2,{\lambda }_3,{\lambda }_4$ are nonzero real numbers, not all negative, $\delta >0$, $𝒱$ is a well-spaced set, and the ratio ${\lambda }_1/{\lambda }_2$ is algebraic and irrational. Denote by $E(𝒱,N,\delta )$ the number of $v\in 𝒱$ with $v\le N$ such that the inequality $$|{\lambda }_1{p}_1^2+{\lambda }_2{p}_2^3+{\lambda }_3{p}_3^4+{\lambda }_4{p}_4^5-v|<v^{-\delta }$$ has no solution in primes $p_1$, $p_2$, $p_3$, $p_4$. We show that $$E(𝒱,N,\delta )\ll N^{1+2\delta -1/72+\epsilon }$$ for any $\epsilon >0$.

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...

Let $W(m,n;\underline{\psi })$ denote the set of ${\psi }_1,...,{\psi }_n$–approximable points in ${ℝ}^{mn}$. The classical Khintchine–Groshev theorem assumes a monotonicity condition on the approximating functions $\underline{\psi }$. Removing monotonicity from the Khintchine–Groshev theorem is attributed to different authors for different cases of $m$ and $n$. It can not be removed for $m=n=1$ as Duffin–Schaeffer provided the counter example. We deal with the only remaining case $m=2$ and thereby remove all unnecessary conditions from the Khintchine–Groshev theorem. ...

We investigate the average behavior of the $n$th normalized Fourier coefficients of the $j$th ($j\ge 2$ be any fixed integer) symmetric power $L$-function (i.e., $L(s,{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f)$), attached to a primitive holomorphic cusp form $f$ of weight $k$ for the full modular group $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ over certain sequences of positive integers. Precisely, we prove an asymptotic formula with an error term for the sum $$S_j^{*}:=\sum _{a_1^2+a_2^2+a_3^2+a_4^2+a_5^2+a_6^2\le x(a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_5,a_6)\in {\mathbb{Z}}^6}{\lambda }_{{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f}^2(a_1^2+a_2^2+a_3^2+a_4^2+a_5^2+a_6^2),$$ where $x$ is sufficiently large, and $$L(s,{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f):=\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{{\lambda }_{{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f}\left(n\right)}{n^s}.$$ When $j=2$, the error term which we obtain improves the earlier known result.
