Abstract

Notions of finite type play an important role in several complex variables. The most standard notion is D'Angelo type, which measures the order of contact of holomorphic curves with the boundary of a domain in ${\mathbb C}^n$. For the $\bar \partial$-Neumann problem, however, the order of contact of the boundary of the domain with $q$-dimensional complex varieties controls its behavior on $(p,q)$ forms. There are two different ways of measuring this order of contact, one due to John D'Angelo and another due to David Catlin. We survey the known results about the D'Angelo and Catlin $q$-types, their relationship, and other notions that complete the picture.

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.
