Vertical components and local geometry of analytic mappings
[PDF]

Vertical components constitute a new and powerful tool in the study of the local geometry of complex analytic mappings. One can exploit them to establish a certain level of algebraic control over the geometric complexity of analytic morphisms, along the lines of a classical Auslander's freeness criterion. On the other hand, when extended to the category of modules finitely generated over local analytic algebras, vertical components provide a natural setting for the study of homological properties of modules over noetherian rings, allowing for the use of transcendental methods where commutative algebra seemed to fail.

Problems on resolution of singularities
[PDF]

The biggest open problem in the area is desingularization in positive characteristic. Even in characteristic zero, there are several important problems (concerning both algebraic varieties and analytic spaces) that seem to be unsolved, though some are stated as theorems in the classical literature. Questions related to equisingularity in characteristic zero bear on recent programs for desingularization in positive characteristic. I will discuss several problems and their significance.

On Local Behavior of Holomorphic Functions Along Complex Submanifolds of CN
[PDF]

In the talk I present some general results on local behavior of holomorphic functions along complex submanifolds of CN. As a corollary, I obtain multi-dimensional generalizations of an important result of Coman and Poletsky on Bernstein type inequalities on transcendental curves in C2.

Holomorphic extension of CR functions from non-smooth hypersurfaces
[PDF]

We consider the one-sided holomorphic extension of CR functions defined on non-smooth real analytic hypersurfaces. We show that unlike in the smooth case, the absence of a complex-analytic hypersurface inside the real analytic hypersurface (minimality) is not a sufficient condition for the extension of such functions. We formulate a geometric condition called "two sided support" which is a substitute for minimality in the simplest cases, e.g. for quadratic cones.

Unfolding CR singularities of real 4-manifolds in C5
[PDF]

A real 4-submanifold in C5 is "CR singular" at a point where the tangent space contains a complex line. The local extrinsic geometry of a real analytic embedding near a CR singularity is studied by finding a normal form for the defining equations under biholomorphic transformations. We also consider one-parameter families of embeddings, and find a normal form for a family exhibiting a cancellation of a pair of CR singularities.

Real hypersurfaces with constant Levi degeneracy
[PDF]

We shall discuss a construction of real hypersurfaces of tube type in complex space with prescribed and constant rank of the Levi form at every point. The construction involves a Cauchy-Kowalevsky type theorem for overdetermined systems (or a nonlinear version of the Poincare lemma).

Regularity for the CR vector bundle problem
[PDF]

Let w be a square matrix of (0,1)-forms on a strongly pseudoconvex smooth real hypersurface M in Cn with n ³ 4. Assume that w satisfies the formal integrability condition [`()]b w = wÙw. We want to find a non-singular matrix A such that [`()]b A = -Aw. Assume that the dimension of M is at least seven. We will find local solutions A with sharp regularities in terms of the smoothness of w.

This is joint work with Sidney M. Webster.

A splitting theorem for holomorphic Banach bundles
[PDF]

This talk is motivated by Grothendieck's theorem, according to which every finite rank vector bundle over P1 splits into the sum of line bundles. In the 1960s, Gohberg generalized this to a class of Banach bundles. We consider a compact complex manifold X (thus dimX < ¥) and a holomorphic Banach bundle E ® X that is a compact perturbation of a trivial bundle in a sense recently introduced by Lempert. We prove that E splits into the sum of a finite rank bundle and a trivial bundle, provided H1(X,O)=0.

On uniform subalgebras of H¥ generated by almost-periodic functions
[PDF]

As it follows from the classical Lindelöf theorem, the boundary values of a bounded holomorphic function defined on the unit disk cannot have discontinuities of the first kind. In our talk we define analogs of almost periodic functions on the unit circle, and show that uniform subalgebras of the algebra H¥ of bounded holomorphic functions on the unit disk, generated by these functions have, in a sense, the weakest possible discontinuities on the boundary.

Joint work with Alexander Brudnyi.

A Projective Analogue of Wermer's Theorem
[PDF]

Let K Ì Pn be a compact subset of complex projective n-space. The projective hull of K is the set [^(K)] of points x Î Pn for which there is a constant C=C(x) with

||s(x)|| £ Cd
sup
K 
||s||
(1)
for all holomorphic sections s of the line bundle O(d) and all d > 0. For K Ì Cn Ì Pn the set [^(K)] ÇCn can also be defined using the Lelong class of plurisubharmonic functions of minimal growth. The set K is called stable if the best constant function C from (1) is bounded on [^(K)].

We prove that if g Ì Pn is a stable real analytic curve (not necessarily connected), then [^(g)] is a 1-dimensional complex analytic subvariety of Pn - g.

Levi-flat hypersurfaces with real analytic boundary
[PDF]

Let X be a Stein complex manifold of dimension at least 3. Given a compact codimension 2 real analytic submanifold M of X, that is the boundary of a compact Levi-flat hypersurface H, we study the regularity of H. If M has finitely many CR singularities, which is a generic condition, H must in fact be a real analytic submanifold. If M is real algebraic, it follows that H is real algebraic and in fact extends past M, even near CR singularities. To prove these results we provide two variations on a theorem of Malgrange, one for hypersurfaces with boundary and one for subanalytic sets.

Holomorphic Banach bundles over compact manifolds
[PDF]

A central result in complex geometry is the finiteness theorem of Cartan and Serre, according to which the cohomology groups of a finite rank holomorphic vector bundle over a compact base are finite dimensional. It is easy to convince oneself that holomorphic Banach bundles over a compact base may very well have infinite dimensional cohomology groups. Nevertheless, first Gohberg in the 1960s, and later Leiterer discovered a class of Banach bundles for which finiteness can be proved.

In the talk I will discuss a theorem on finite dimensionality of cohomology groups of Banach bundles, in a setting that includes Gohberg's and Leiterer's. Although cohomology groups are defined in terms of linear operators, the proof, interestingly, uses a piece of nonlinear analysis.

L2-cohomology of some complex spaces with singularities
[PDF]

Let X be an irreducible complex analytic set in CN (resp. complex projective variety in CPN) with arbitrary singular locus. Let X¢ denote the set of smooth points in X. The restriction on X¢ of the Euclidean metric in CN (resp. the Fubini-Study metric in CPN) induces an incomplete metric on X¢, which we call the ambient metric. Let D denote the weak (distributional) de Rham or Dolbeault operator acting on square integrable forms (with respect to the ambient metric) on X¢. We wish to understand when can we solve D u=f on X¢ with L2-estimates and how big (if non-trivial) is the space of obstructions.

In the first part of the talk we shall see how results about these two operators are connected. In the second part of the talk I will survey some results we have obtained with Nils Ø vrelid that shed some light on the above problem.
