Abstract

We discuss the Siciak-Zaharjuta extremal function of a real convex body in C^n, a solution of the homogeneous complex Monge-Ampere equation on the exterior of the convex body. We determine several conditions under which a foliation by holomorphic curves can be found in the complement of the convex body along which the extremal function is harmonic. We study a variational problem for holomorphic disks in projective space passing through prescribed points at infinity. The extremal curves are all complex quadric curves, and the geometry of such curves allows for the determination of the leaves of the foliation by simple geometric criteria. As a byproduct we encounter a new invariant of an exterior domain, the Robin indicatrix, which is in some cases the dual of the Kobayashi indicatrix for a bounded domain.

Log canonical singularities of plurisubharmonic functions

A plurisubharmonic weight is \emph{log canonical} if it is at the critical point of turning non-integrable. Given a log canonical plurisubharmonic weight, we show that locally there always exists a log canonical `holomorphic' weight having the same non-integrable locus. The proof uses the theory of quasimonomial valuations developed by Jonsson-Mustaţă and Xu, as well as the minimal model program over complex analytic spaces due to Fujino and Lyu-Murayama. As a consequence, we obtain that the non-integrable locus is seminormal.

Sobolev homeomorphisms and Jordan curves with positive area

Each homeomorphic parametrization of a Jordan curve via the unit circle $\mathbb{S}\subset \mathbb{S}^2$ extends to a homeomorphism of the entire $\mathbb{S}^2.$ We show that there exists a Jordan curve of positive area whose every parametrization via $\mathbb{S}$ admits a homeomorphic extension that has $p$-Sobolev regularity on $\mathbb{S}^2$ for all exponents $1\le p<2 .$ This is obtained via a new sharp extension result for the case of $p<2.$

Disproof of a conjecture of Ruscheweyh et al. on universal convexity of Ramanujan generating function

We disprove a conjecture of Ruscheweyh, Salinas and Sugawa concerning the universal convexity of the normalized generating function associated with the Ramanujan sequence $θ(n).$ More precisely, we prove that the function \[ σ(z)=\frac{1}{θ(1)-1/3}\sum_{n\geq1}(θ(n)-1/3)z^{n} \] is not universally convex on the slit domain $\mathbb{C}\backslash[1,\infty).$ The proof uses Watson\textquoteright s integral representation of $θ(n),$ asymptotic estimates for an auxiliary function $h,$ and the representation of derivatives of universally convex functions via logarithmic integrals. As a general extension of this result, we also show that the generalized Ramanujan generating function \[ σ_α(z)=\frac{1}{θ(1)-1/3}\sum_{n\geq1}(θ(n)-1/3)\frac{z^{n}}{n^α} \] is universally convex if and only if $α\geq1.$
