A closure operation on complex analytic cones and torsion
Let be a complex space of dimension , not necessarily reduced, whose cohomology groups are of finite dimension (as complex vector spaces). We show that is Stein (resp., -convex) if, and only if, is holomorphically spreadable (resp., is holomorphically spreadable at infinity). This, on the one hand, generalizes a known characterization of Stein spaces due to Siu, Laufer, and Simha and, on the other hand, it provides a new criterion for -convexity.
In this paper we study generic coverings of branched over a curve s.t. the total space is a normal analytic surface, in terms of a graph representing the monodromy of the covering, called monodromy graph. A complete description of the monodromy graphs and of the local fundamental groups is found in case the branch curve is (with ) and the degree of the cover is equal to or .
For each 2-dimensional complex torus , we construct a compact complex manifold with a -action, which compactifies such that the quotient of by the -action is biholomorphic to . For a general , we show that has no non-constant meromorphic functions.
We compare the yields of two methods to obtain Bernstein type pointwise estimates for the derivative of a multivariate polynomial in a domain where the polynomial is assumed to have sup norm at most 1. One method, due to Sarantopoulos, relies on inscribing ellipses in a convex domain K. The other, pluripotential-theoretic approach, mainly due to Baran, works for even more general sets, and uses the pluricomplex Green function (the Zaharjuta-Siciak extremal function). When the inscribed ellipse method...
We compute the constant sup : P a polynomial in , where S denotes the euclidean unit sphere in and σ its unitary surface measure.
We give a new constructive proof of the composition rule for Taylor's functional calculus for commuting operators on a Banach space.
We present a constructive proof of the fact that the set of algebraic Pfaff equations without algebraic solutions over the complex projective plane is dense in the set of all algebraic Pfaff equations of a given degree.
The goal of this paper is to show that there are strong relations between certain Monge-Ampère integrals appearing in holomorphic Morse inequalities, and asymptotic cohomology estimates for tensor powers of holomorphic line bundles. Especially, we prove that these relations hold without restriction for projective surfaces, and in the special case of the volume, i.e. of asymptotic -cohomology, for all projective manifolds. These results can be seen as a partial converse to the Andreotti-Grauert...
