Proper holomorphic embeddings with small limit sets

Abstract

Let $X$ be a Stein manifold of dimension $n\ge 1$. Given a continuous positive increasing function $h$ on $\mathbb R_+=[0,\infty)$ with $\lim_{t\to\infty} h(t)=\infty$, we construct a proper holomorphic embedding $f=(z,w):X\hookrightarrow \mathbb C^{n+1}\times \mathbb C^n$ satisfying $|w(x)|<h(|z(x)|)$ for all $x\in X$. In particular, $f$ may be chosen such that its limit set at infinity is a linearly embedded copy of $\mathbb{CP}^n$ in $\mathbb{CP}^{2n}$.
