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.

For a domain D ⊂ ℂ the Kobayashi-Royden ϰ and Hahn h pseudometrics are equal iff D is simply connected. Overholt showed that for $D\subset {ℂ}^n$, n ≥ 3, we have $h_D\equiv {\varkappa }_D$. Let D₁, D₂ ⊂ ℂ. The aim of this paper is to show that $h_{D₁\times D₂}$ iff at least one of D₁, D₂ is simply connected or biholomorphic to ℂ 0. In particular, there are domains D ⊂ ℂ² for which $h_D\not\equiv {\varkappa }_D$.

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]. ...

Let $D$ be a Hermitian symmetric space of tube type, $S$ its Silov boundary and $G$ the neutral component of the group of bi-holomorphic diffeomorphisms of $D$. Our main interest is in studying the action of $G$ on $S^3=S\times S\times S$. Sections 1 and 2 are part of a joint work with B. Ørsted (see [4]). In Section 1, as a pedagogical introduction, we study the case where $D$ is the unit disc and $S$ is the circle. This is a fairly elementary and explicit case, where one can easily get a flavour of the more general results....

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 $\Omega \cap V\left(z_0\right)$.

Every homogeneous circular convex domain $D\subset {\mathbb{C}}^n$ (a bounded symmetric domain) gives rise to two interesting Lie groups: The semi-simple group $G=Aut\left(D\right)$ of all biholomorphic automorphisms of $D$ and its isotropy subgroup $K\subset GL\left(n,\mathbb{C}\right)$ at the origin (a maximal compact subgroup of $G$). The group $G$ acts in a natural way on the compact dual $X$ of $D$ (a certain compactification of ${\mathbb{C}}^n$ that generalizes the Riemann sphere in case $D$ is the unit disk in $\mathbb{C}$). Various authors have studied the orbit structure of the $G$-space $X$, here...
