Abstract

We prove that every continuous map from a Stein manifold X to a complex manifold Y can be made holomorphic by a homotopic deformation of both the map and the Stein structure on X. In the absence of topological obstructions the holomorphic map may be chosen to have pointwise maximal rank. The analogous result holds for any compact Hausdorff family of maps, but it fails in general for a noncompact family. Our main results are actually proved for smooth almost complex source manifolds (X,J) with the correct handlebody structure. The paper contains another proof of Eliashberg's (Int J Math 1:29--46, 1990) homotopy characterization of Stein manifolds and a slightly different explanation of the construction of exotic Stein surfaces due to Gompf (Ann Math 148 (2):619--693, 1998; J Symplectic Geom 3:565--587, 2005). (See also the related preprint math/0509419).

Thompson's groups and Teichmüller modular groups of generalized Cantor sets

Thompson's groups, which are denoted by $F, T$ and $V$, were introduced by R. Thompson. It is known that they are related to various fields in mathematics. In this paper, we discuss Thompson's groups $F, T$ and $V$ in Teichmüller modular groups of Teichmüller spaces of generalized Cantor sets with certain conditions by using a quasiconformal geometric method. Moreover, we show that groups corresponding to $F$ and $T$ act properly discontinuously on such Teichmüller spaces. We also show the same results for the asymptotic Teichmüller space. E. de Faria, F. P. Gardiner and W. J. Harvey show similar results on Thompson's group $F$ and asymptotic Teichmüller spaces. So, our results are improvement of them. We also discuss the actions of Thompson's groups on other spaces which we call \lq\lq pre-Tiechmüller spaces" of generalized Cantor sets. Especially, we show that the action of a group which is isomorphic to Thompson's group $V$ on the pre-Teichüller space is not properly discontinuous while groups isomorphic to $F$ and $T$ act properly discontinuously. Finally, we construct infinitely many distinct Teichmüller spaces of generalized Cantor sets where our results can apply.

Spectrum of Complete Kähler Metrics on Bounded Hyperconvex Domains

Let $Ω\subset\mathbb{C}^{n}$ be a bounded domain, and let $ρ:Ω\to[-1,0)$ be a smooth strictly plurisubharmonic exhaustion function. We consider the logarithmic potential $g=-\log(-ρ)$ and the associated complete Kähler metric $ω=dd^{c} g$. We prove that if $ρ$ satisfies the finite weighted Monge-Ampère mass condition with weight $(-ρ)^{\varepsilon}$ for every $\varepsilon>0$, then the spectrum and the essential spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator of $(Ω,ω)$ both coincide with $[n^{2},\infty)$. In particular, the bottom of the spectrum satisfies $λ_{0}(Δ_ω,Ω)=n^{2}$, and $n^{2}$ is not an $L^{2}$-eigenvalue. For each $α> \frac{n}{2}$, we set $f=(-ρ)^α$ and prove that $f$ belongs to $W^{1,2}(Ω,ω)$ if and only if the Monge-Ampère mass of $ρ$ weighted by $(-ρ)^{2α-n}$ is finite. The integral identities underlying this equivalence, applied to the complex powers $(-ρ)^{α+it}$, give, after normalization, a singular Weyl sequence at every $n^{2}+4t^{2}$, $t\in\mathbb{R}$, as $α\downarrow\frac{n}{2}$. Combining our theorem with Cegrell's finite-mass exhaustion theorem, we obtain a complete Kähler metric with spectrum and essential spectrum equal to $[n^{2},\infty)$ on every bounded hyperconvex domain.
