Abstract

In this paper (a sequel to B. Drinovec Drnovsek and F. Forstneric, Holomorphic curves in complex spaces, Duke Math. J. 139 (2007), 203-253) we obtain existence and approximation results for closed complex subvarieties that are normalized by strongly pseudoconvex Stein domains. Our sufficient condition for the existence of such subvarieties in a complex manifold is expressed in terms of the Morse indices and the number of positive Levi eigenvalues of an exhaustion function on the manifold. Examples show that our condition cannot be weakened in general. Optimal results are obtained for subvarieties of this type in complements of compact complex submanifolds with Griffiths positive normal bundle; in the projective case these results generalize classical theorems of Remmert, Bishop and Narasimhan concerning proper holomorphic maps and embeddings to complex Euclidean spaces.

Normality Criteria for Quasimeromorphic Mappings: Avoidance and Sharing

We establish normality criteria for families of quasimeromorphic mappings in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), \(n\geq 2\), based on the avoidance and sharing of continuous functions. We first establish a rescaling principle for sequences of continuous functions and use it to derive a higher-dimensional analogue of Lappan's avoidance criterion. We then obtain normality criteria based on the sharing of continuous functions. In particular, we prove that a family of \(K\)-quasimeromorphic mappings sharing \(q_0(n,K)+1\) mutually disjoint continuous functions is normal, where \(q_0(n,K)\) is the corresponding quasiregular Picard constant. We further consider sequences of quasimeromorphic mappings sharing sequences of continuous functions with a normal comparison sequence and establish a corresponding normality criterion, together with an improved bound under an additional separation condition on the limiting functions. Finally, we derive applications to normal quasiregular mappings into \(\mathbb{S}^n\).

A new class of smooth algebraic varieties with the density property and a counterexample to the Tóth-Varolin Conjecture

We prove that the smooth affine hypersurfaces \[ X_{m,n}=\{ζ^mz_0^n+ (1+z_1ζ)z_2+ζz_3^2=1\}\subset\mathbb{C}^5,\;\; m,n\geq 2, \] have the density property. For every odd integer $d\geq 3$, we identify $X_{d-1,d}$ with a Kaliman modification along a Brieskorn variety of type $(d,2,2,2)$. We prove that the fourfolds $X_{d-1,d}$ are diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{C}^4$ but not biholomorphic to $\mathbb{C}^4$. These, therefore, give counterexamples to the Tóth-Varolin conjecture.
