Abstract

We study the rate at which the $p$-Bergman metric approaches the Carathéodory metric on convex domains with measures comparable to $δ^αdV$, $α>-1$. On smooth convex domains of finite type the logarithmic coefficient is bounded above by the harmonic-measure average of the tangential multitype dimension plus $1+α$, with equality when almost every endpoint of the extremal disc is coercive. For a class of convex domains in $\mathbb{C}^2$ with $C^4$ boundary and rank-one real tangential contact along an axis disc, a winding number distinguishes the coefficient $2+α$ from an upper bound $7/4+α$; quartic contact makes the latter bound exact. The exact value holds along the entire axis of explicit real-algebraic strongly pseudoconvex domains, including perturbations without the weighted circle action, although their pointwise boundary models agree up to unitary equivalence with those of a domain having coefficient $2+α$. A $C^2$ example has negative winding but coefficient $2+α$, with a $-\frac12\log\log p$ correction, so boundary regularity is essential to the gap theorem.

Multiplicity-Weighted Moments of a Two-Monomial Harmonic Map Beyond the Caustic

While the Jacobian of a planar harmonic mapping keeps a constant sign, the signed and the unsigned area elements agree up to that sign, and the two natural moment hierarchies coincide. Once the Jacobian changes sign the critical circle acquires a caustic as its image, part of the plane is covered several times with opposite orientations, and the hierarchies part company: integrating a radial weight against $J_F$ lets overlapping sheets cancel, giving the degree-weighted moments $J_n$, while integrating against $|J_F|$ lets every sheet count positively, giving the multiplicity-weighted moments $J_n^{\pm}$. These are the classical degree and area formulas for the same map, the second weighted by the multiplicity function (Banach indicatrix). It is the second family, the one the caustic threatens, for which a closed form is no longer automatic. For the two-monomial map $F(w)=w+iC\bar w^{k}$ on an annulus we show that it has one anyway: $J_n^{\pm}$ is the total variation of the very same explicit primitive whose endpoint difference gives $J_n$. Crossing the caustic therefore costs exactly one extra evaluation point, the critical radius $r_*=(k|C|)^{-1/(k-1)}$, and it is the same point for every order $n$: the weight $|F|^{2n}$ is nonnegative and so contributes no sign change of its own. On the degree-weighted side $J_n$ has a boundary-only closed form for every $n\ge0$, the zeroth being the signed area of the image counted with degree, and the complex-weighted moments vanish unless $(k+1)\mid(m-\ell)$. Neither weighted integral is a new object, and the caustic of this family has been located before in the literature on harmonic trinomials; what is new is the closed evaluation of the multiplicity-weighted hierarchy across it.

Local Characterizations of Oka Manifolds

We prove that strong dominability, the LAP, and the Oka property are equivalent for complex manifolds. The proof turns approximation across an attached disc in one complex variable, uniformly in holomorphic parameters, into convex approximation in arbitrary dimension. We also characterize Oka manifolds by the LEP, formulated in terms of centered holomorphic families of discs. In dimension $n\geq1$, LEP propagates across sets of zero $(2n-1)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure. The Oka property is local in the Euclidean topology, and it descends under surjective holomorphic maps between connected complex manifolds. Deformations of very free rational curves give the Oka property for every smooth connected complex projective rationally connected manifold $X$, and for $X\setminus A$ whenever $A\subset X$ is a closed algebraic subset of codimension at least two. Compact Kähler manifolds admitting a Kähler metric with nonnegative holomorphic sectional curvature, or having nef tangent bundle, are also Oka. For $n\geq1$, the complement of a smooth hypersurface $D\subset\mathbb{P}^n$ of degree $d$ is Oka if and only if $d\leq n+1$.

Slice Regular Capacity and Rational Approximation

Approximation theory in the complex plane is a well established area of mathematical research, with extensive contributions documented in the literature, notably through the classical results of Weierstrass, Runge, Mergelyan, and Vitushkin. Approximation theory in quaternionic settings, particularly rational approximation on compact sets, which studies when slice regular functions can be uniformly approximated by rational functions, is one of the recent areas of interest in quaternionic rational approximation theory (See [6,13]). In this paper, we discuss Vitushkin approximation theorem in the quaternionic setting by using the quaternionic analogue of analytic capacity and also we establish Davies modified Vitushkin scheme in quaternionic setting. We also discuss quaternionic analogue of $γ_{+}$- capacity and Cauchy capacity and the remarkable results of Tolsa [35] and Younsi [45] related to these capacities in complex plane setting.
