Dynamics of meromorphic functions with direct or logarithmic singularities

Abstract

We show that if a meromorphic function has a direct singularity over infinity, then the escaping set has an unbounded component and the intersection of the escaping set with the Julia set contains continua. This intersection has an unbounded component if and only if the function has no Baker wandering domains. We also give estimates of the Hausdorff dimension and the upper box dimension of the Julia set of a meromorphic function with a logarithmic singularity over infinity. The above theorems are deduced from more general results concerning functions which have "direct or logarithmic tracts", but which need not be meromorphic in the plane. These results are obtained by using a generalization of Wiman-Valiron theory. The method is also applied to complex differential equations.

On the Ohsawa-Takegoshi $L^2$ extension theorem and removable singularities of plurisubharmonic functions

The celebrated Ohsawa--Takegoshi extension theorem for $L^2$ holomorphic functions on bounded pseudoconvex domains in $\mathbb C^n$ is a fundamental result in the fields of complex analysis and algebraic geometry. In 1995, Ohsawa conjectured that the theorem holds more generally on bounded complete Kähler domains in $\mathbb C^n$. Recently, Chen, Wu and Wang confirmed this conjecture in a special case. In this paper, we extend their result to the case of holomorphic sections of twisted canonical bundles over relatively compact complete Kähler domains in Stein manifolds. As an application, we establish a Hartogs-type extension theorem for plurisubharmonic functions across compact complete pluripolar sets. This result complements a classical theorem of Shiffman and may be regarded as a plurisubharmonic analogue of the Skoda--El Mir extension theorem, thereby filling a gap that appears to have remained open in the literature since at least 1985.

The real analytic structure of the Teichmüller space of circle diffeomorphisms with Zygmund continuous derivatives

We apply the methods of simultaneous uniformization and composition operators on Besov spaces to the Teichmüller space $T^Z$ of circle diffeomorphisms with Zygmund continuous derivatives. As consequences, we obtain the following: (1) a new proof of the correspondence between quasiconformal self-homeomorphisms of the unit disk with complex dilatations of linear decay order and their quasisymmetric extensions to the unit circle with regularity in the Zygmund continuously differentiable class; (2) a real-analytic equivalence of $T^Z$ with the real Banach space of Zygmund continuous functions on the unit circle.

The Oka principle for holomorphic fibre bundles of Holder-Zygmund classes on strongly pseudoconvex domains

Let \(\overline Ω\) be a compact strongly pseudoconvex domain with smooth boundary in a Stein manifold, and let \(h:Z\to \overline Ω\) be a fibre bundle of Hölder-Zygmund class \(Λ^r\), \(r>0\), which is holomorphic over \(Ω\). Assuming that the fibre is an Oka manifold, we prove that every continuous section \(f_0:\overline Ω\to Z\) is homotopic to a section \(f_1:\overline Ω\to Z\) of class \(Λ^r(\overline Ω)\) which is holomorphic on \(Ω\). We also establish the parametric h-principle in this context. As an application, we obtain the Oka principle for the classification of vector bundles and principal bundles of Hölder-Zygmund classes on such domains.
