Abstract

This paper presents very simple and easy integration-free proofs in the context of Weierstrass's theory of functions, of the Maximum and Minimum Modulus Principles and Gutzmer-Parseval Inequalities for polynomials and for functions developable in complex power series at every point in their domains, as well as a trivial proof of the Open Mapping Theorem, an intuitive version of Liouville's Theorem, an easy proof of Weierstrass's Theorem on Double Series, a modest extension of Schwarz's Lemma, and some other related results. It also presents easy proofs of the Pólya-Szegö and P. Erdös' Anti-Calculus Proposition, a theorem on saddle points by Bak-Ding-Newman, and the well-known Clunie-Jack Lemma.

The two-dimensional Matkowski--Sut\^o equation with holomorphic and strictly increasing generators

We study the two-dimensional Matkowski--Sut\^o equation, which asks for two quasi-arithmetic means whose sum is twice the arithmetic mean, in two settings. For holomorphic injective generators with convex images on a convex domain in the complex plane, the solutions are exactly the affine pairs and the exponential pairs with a nonzero complex exponent, up to affine changes of the generators. The admissible exponents depend on the shape of the domain and are described by a curvature criterion for its boundary. In the monotone-operator framework of T\'oth, we construct an infinite-dimensional family of non-affine shear pairs on the whole plane. Their generators are strictly increasing in the sense of monotone operators and need not be differentiable. These pairs solve the weighted equation for any number of variables. The rigidity of the one-dimensional problem, due to Dar\'oczy and P\'ales, persists under holomorphy but not under monotonicity.

A counterexample to an open problem of Dorff

The classical P\'olya-Schoenberg conjecture, proved by Ruscheweyh-Sheil-Small, asserts that the convolution of two normalized convex univalent functions is again convex. This property fails to carry over to planar harmonic mappings. In 2001, Dorff posed the open problem whether the self-convolution of a normalized convex harmonic mapping with bounded image must remain in the same class. We construct a normalized sense-preserving harmonic diffeomorphism that maps the unit disk onto an ellipse; its self-convolution has vanishing Jacobian at some interior point of the unit disk, which provides a negative answer to Dorff's open problem.

Analytic Construction of Rational Curves on Fano Manifolds

Inspired by methods for constructing entire curves in Oka geometry, we give an analytic construction of rational curves on a complex Fano manifold $X$. Yau's theorem provides a K\"ahler metric with positive Ricci curvature. Using this curvature to guide deformations of holomorphic discs, we construct maps from discs of radii tending to infinity with uniformly bounded area. A central point is to preserve the derivative normalization through the limiting process. This yields a nonconstant entire map $f:\mathbb C\rightarrow X$ of finite area. This map extends across infinity to a nonconstant holomorphic map $\mathbb P^1\to X$. Combined with algebraic arguments in characteristic zero, the construction yields proofs of the rational connectedness of Fano manifolds and of Hartshorne's conjecture on ample tangent bundles.
