This paper deals with the finiteness problem of meromorphic funtions on an annulus sharing four values regardless of multiplicity. We prove that if three admissible meromorphic functions $f_1$, $f_2$, $f_3$ on an annulus $𝔸\left(R_0\right)$ share four distinct values regardless of multiplicity and have the complete identity set of positive counting function, then $f_1=f_2$ or $f_2=f_3$ or $f_3=f_1$. This result deduces that there are at most two admissible meromorphic functions on an annulus sharing a value with multiplicity truncated to level $2$ and...

Euclidean Clifford analysis is a higher dimensional function theory studying so–called monogenic functions, i.e. null solutions of the rotation invariant, vector valued, first order Dirac operator $\underline{\partial }$. In the more recent branch Hermitean Clifford analysis, this rotational invariance has been broken by introducing a complex structure $J$ on Euclidean space and a corresponding second Dirac operator ${\underline{\partial }}_J$, leading to the system of equations $\underline{\partial }f=0={\underline{\partial }}_{J}f$ expressing so-called Hermitean monogenicity. The invariance of this...

Let f(z) be a finite order transcendental meromorphic function such that λ(1/f(z)) < σ(f(z)), and let c ∈ ℂ∖0 be a constant such that f(z+c) ≢ f(z) + c. We mainly prove that $max\tau \left(f\left(z\right)\right),\tau \left({\Delta }_{c}f\left(z\right)\right)=max\tau \left(f\right(z\left)\right),\tau \left(f\right(z+c\left)\right)=max\tau \left({\Delta }_{c}f\left(z\right)\right),\tau \left(f(z+c)\right)=\sigma \left(f\left(z\right)\right)$, where τ(g(z)) denotes the exponent of convergence of fixed points of the meromorphic function g(z), and σ(g(z)) denotes the order of growth of g(z).

We study Mellin transforms $\widehat{N}\left(s\right)={\int }_{1-}^{\infty }{x}^{-s}dN\left(x\right)$ for which $N\left(x\right)-x$ is periodic with period $1$ in order to investigate ‘flows’ of such functions to Riemann’s $\zeta \left(s\right)$ and the possibility of proving the Riemann Hypothesis with such an approach. We show that, excepting the trivial case where $N\left(x\right)=x$, the supremum of the real parts of the zeros of any such function is at least $\frac{1}{2}$.We investigate a particular flow of such functions ${\left\{\widehat{N_{\lambda }}\right\}}_{\lambda \ge 1}$ which converges locally uniformly to $\zeta \left(s\right)$ as $\lambda \to 1$, and show that they exhibit features similar to $\zeta \left(s\right)$. For example, $\widehat{N_{\lambda }}\left(s\right)$...

We prove that a foliation on $\mathbf{C}{P}^2$ with hyperbolic singularities and with “many" parabolic leaves (i.e. leaves without Green functions) is in fact a linear foliation. This is done in two steps: first we prove that there exists an algebraic leaf, using the technique of harmonic measures, then we show that the holonomy of this leaf is linearizable, from which the result follows easily.
