Cauchy-Type Convolution Integrals as the Starting Point for a First Encounter with Complex Analysis

Abstract

Alongside three established presentations of elementary complex analysis, we propose an approach centered on one organizing question: when is contour convolution well defined on homotopy classes? From this starting point, we develop the foundational results of the subject. A supporting conceptual distinction identifies those elements of real and complex analysis that share the same operational and symbolic rules. We refer to this collection as the "Toolbox." Examples and structural connections illustrate the explanatory value and reach of the approach across different aspects of the theory. We also examine the relationship of our approach to the established presentations.

Some sharp Schwarz type estimates and their applications in Banach spaces

The primary objective of this paper is to develop methodologies for investigating Schwarz type lemmas and to present their applications in Banach spaces. First, we improve upon the main results obtained by Rogosinski [Jber. Dtsch. Math.-Verein 44: 258--261, 1934] %Osserman [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 128: 3513-3517, 2000] and Chen et al. [J. Anal. Math. 152: 181-216, 2024]. Based on these sharp estimates, we then derive several sharp boundary Schwarz type lemmas (also known as Hopf type lemmas) for holomorphic mappings in Banach spaces, as well as for solutions to certain classes of elliptic partial differential equations on the Euclidean unit ball in $\mathbb{C}^n$ or on the unit disk in $\mathbb{C}$. Furthermore, we prove some sharp Schwarz type lemmas for holomorphic mappings that send a prescribed point to another prescribed point. Finally, these lemmas are applied to establish a sharp Minda type Schwarz inequality in Banach spaces and to provide a sharp refined bound on subballs of the unit ball.

The full shadow of a polynomial I. The limiting core and the transient set

The full shadow of a complex polynomial $P$ of degree $d\ge2$ is the closure of all zeros of $(P^n)^{(m)}$, $n\ge1$, $0\le m<dn$. We prove that it consists of a compact connected limiting core containing all roots and critical points of $P$, together with isolated transient zeros, each occurring at only finitely many powers. The core is the Hausdorff limit of the zero sets pooled over all derivative orders as $n\to\infty$ and the support of their limiting normalized root-counting measure. For $m/n\toα\in(0,d)$, we establish weak convergence of normalized root-counting measures and Hausdorff convergence of zero sets to the limiting supports, both stable under coefficient perturbations. We exhibit quartics with infinitely many transients. A bounded operator constructed from polynomial differentiators realizes the full shadow, core, and transients as its spectrum, Fredholm essential spectrum, and discrete spectrum, respectively.
