Quaternionic Möbius invariant Laplacian and quaternionic Möbius harmonic functions on the unit ball

Abstract

We construct quaternionic Möbius ($\mathcal{QM}$ briefly) transformations on the quaternionic unit ball, which are used to define $\mathcal{QM}$-invariant Laplacian operator $\triangle$. A function annihilated by $\triangle$ is called $\mathcal{QM}$-harmonic. We prove that $\mathcal{QM}$-harmonic functions can be expanded in terms of quaternionic spherical harmonics multiplied by hypergeometric functions as radial parts. By establishing a Green formula associated to $\triangle$ and constructing the $\mathcal{QM}$-Poisson kernel, we solve the Dirichlet problem for $\mathcal{QM}$-invariant Laplace equation, which is degenerate elliptic. We also give a Fatou type theorem about non-tangential convergence of $\mathcal{QM}$-Poisson integrals. Compared to the real and complex cases, the main difficulties come from the noncommutativity of the quaternionic algebra and the complexity of the quaternionic unitary group ${\rm Sp}(n){\rm Sp}(1)$ and its modules. However, they can be overcome by using the embedding of the quaternionic space to the complex matrix space and using more complicated algebraic tools.

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.
