Abstract

This thesis is concerned with extending the idea of geodesic completeness from pseudo-Riemannian to complex geometry: we take, however a completely holomorphicpoint of view; that is to say, a 'metric' will be a (meromorphic) symmetric section of the twice covariant holomorphic tensor bundle. We shall hint at the need of reformulating some aspects of the theory of differential equations in the complex domain, originating in the interpenetration betwixt differential and algebraic aspects when analytical continuation is pursued. The notion itself of path should be reformulated: we remark that geodesics will be defined on Riemann surfaces which are domains over regions in the complex plane. Of course geodesics will be eventually defined to be auto-parallel paths, but we shall focus our attention on the fact that the Levi-Civita connection will be meromorphic if the metric from which it is induced is allowed to have poles or even simply to lower somewhere in its rank. We shall study rather more deeply a class of manifolds, namely warped products of Riemann surfaces; some hypotheses concerning their metrics will be done, (metrics will be suppose to be 'coercive', in a sense that will be defined) but we shall show that the range of applicability of the yielded completeness theorems will not be exceedingly restricted.

Hilbert metric and quasiconformal mappings

We prove a functional identity between the Hilbert metric and the visual angle metric in the unit disk. The proof utilizes the Poincaré hyperbolic metric in terms of which both metrics can be expressed. This identity then yields sharp distortion results for quasiregular mappings and analytic functions, expressed in terms of the Hilbert metric. We also prove that Hilbert circles are, in fact, Euclidean ellipses. The proof makes use of computer algebra methods. In particular, Gröbner bases are used.

Cyclicity in Poletsky-Stessin Weighted Bergman Spaces

We study the cyclicity of polynomials in Poletsky-Stessin weighted Bergman spaces on various domains in $\mathbb{C}^2$, including the unit ball, the bidisk, and the complex ellipsoid. To this end, we introduce a natural extension of the parameter range for Poletsky-Stessin weighted Bergman spaces on complete Reinhardt domains, yielding a family of spaces that resemble Dirichlet-type spaces on the unit ball. We highlight the differences in the cyclicity behavior of polynomials in these spaces on the bidisk compared to those studied by Bénéteau et al. Finally, we propose several open problems concerning the structure of cyclic polynomials in these spaces.

Schwarz-contractivity of the Poisson operator

We say that the Poisson operator $P_r$ is Schwarz-contractive from a space $X$ to a space $Y$ if $\|P_r\|_{X\to Y}\le r$ holds for all $0<r<1$. The classical Schwarz lemma is the case $H^\infty_0\to H^\infty$, the subscript indicating zero mean. We are concerned with the non-holomorphic case $L^\infty_0 \to L^p$. For real functions Schwarz-contractivity holds up to the sharp exponent $p_{\mathbb R}=4.109\ldots$. For complex functions we prove it for $p\le 3$ and conjecture that the critical exponent is $4$.
