Abstract

In this paper we consider nonzero harmonic functions vanishing on some subsets of $\mathbb R^n$. We give a positive solution to Problem 151 from the Scottish Book posed by R. Wavre in 1936. In more detail, we construct a nonzero harmonic polynomial that vanishes on the edges of the unit cube. Moreover, using harmonic morphisms we build new nontrivial families of harmonic polynomials that vanish at the same set in the unit ball in $\mathbb R^n$ for all $n \geq 4$. This extends certain results by Logunov and Malinnikova. We also present new results on harmonic functions in the space whose zero sets are unions of affine codimension two subspaces.

Uniform RC-positivity of tangent bundles

In this paper, we prove that every rationally connected projective manifold admits a smooth uniformly RC-positive Hermitian metric on its tangent bundle, answering Yang's question and giving a characterization of rational connectedness by uniform RC-positivity. We find an example to show that RC-positivity alone does not characterize rational connectedness. We also prove that uniform RC-positivity of the tangent bundle is preserved under blow-ups along connected smooth centers on compact complex manifolds. In the non-Kähler setting, we construct such metrics on all Hopf and Kato surfaces and obtain classification results for compact complex surfaces.

Growth, Distortion, and Schwarzian Norm Estimates for Exponentially Convex Functions

In this paper, we investigate the growth, distortion, pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian norms of functions in the exponentially convex class \(\mathcal C_{e^λ}\), \(0<λ\leπ/2\), defined by \(1+zf''(z)/f'(z)\prec e^{λz}\). By representing the associated Schwarz function explicitly, we derive parameter-dependent estimates for \(f\), \(f'\), and the pre-Schwarzian derivative. We further obtain Schwarzian norm estimates under both the general normalization and the additional condition \(f''(0)=0\). The corresponding extremal problems are analyzed through suitable Schwarz functions, and the dependence of the resulting bounds on the exponential parameter is made explicit.
