Abstract

Beginning in 2006, G. Gentili and D.C. Struppa developed a theory of regular quaternionic functions with properties that recall classical results in complex analysis. For instance, in each Euclidean ball centered at 0 the set of regular functions coincides with that of quaternionic power series converging in the same ball. In 2009 the author proposed a classification of singularities of regular functions as removable, essential or as poles and studied poles by constructing the ring of quotients. In that article, not only the statements, but also the proving techniques were confined to the special case of balls centered at 0. In a subsequent paper, F. Colombo, G. Gentili, I. Sabadini and D.C. Struppa (2009) identified a larger class of domains, on which the theory of regular functions is natural and not limited to quaternionic power series. The present article studies singularities in this new context, beginning with the construction of the ring of quotients and of Laurent-type expansions at points other than the origin. These expansions, which differ significantly from their complex analogs, allow a classification of singularities that is consistent with the one given in 2009. Poles are studied, as well as essential singularities, for which a version of the Casorati-Weierstrass Theorem is proven.

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.
