We prove that every circled domain in the Riemann sphere admits a proper holomorphic embedding to C^2. Our methods also apply to circled domains with punctures, provided that all but finitely many of the punctures belong to the closure of the set of complementary discs.
Let $X$ denote a compact set which is laminated by Riemann surfaces. We assume that $X$ carries a positive CR line bundle $ L\rightarrow X$. The main result of the paper is that there exists a positive integer $s$ so that if $v$ is any continuous $(0,1)$ form with coefficients in $L^{\otimes s}$ there exists a continuous section $u$ of $L^{\otimes s}$ solving the equation $\bar\partial_b u=v$.
In this paper, we construct various examples of holomorphic laminations, with leaves of dimension 1, and we also study some of their dynamical properties. In particular we study existence and uniqueness of positive closed currents. We construct minimal laminations with infinitely many mutually singular closed currents and no non-closed harmonic current. We also consider embeddings to projective space.
Let Z be a complex space and let S be a compact set in C^n x Z which is fibered over R^n (the real subspace of C^n). We give a necessary and sufficient condition for S to be a Stein compactum.
One of the oldest open problems in the classical function theory is whether every open Riemann surface admits a proper holomorphic embedding into C^2. In this paper we prove the following Theorem: If D is a bordered Riemann surface whose closure admits an injective immersion in C^2 that is holomorphic in D, then D admits a proper holomorphic embedding in C^2. The most general earlier results are due to J. Globevnik and B. Stensones (Math. Ann. 303 (1995), 579-597) and E. F. Wold (Internat. J. Math. 17 (2006), 963-974). We give an explicit and elementary construction that does not require the Teichmuller space theory, and we also indicate another possible proof using the latter theory.
We give an example of a Fatou-Bieberbach domain which is not Runge in C^2.
For any closed analytic set X in C^2 there exists a proper holomorphic embedding of the unit disk into C^2 such that the image avoids X.
In this paper we prove the equivalence of two definitions of laminated currents.
In this paper we discuss approximation of partially smooth functions. The problem arises naturally in the study of laminated currents.
We formalize a technique for embedding Riemann sufraces properly into \C^2, and we generalize all known embedding results to allow interpolation on prescribed discrete sequences.
Let $\TT$ be a torus. We prove that all subsets of $\TT$ with finitely many boundary components (none of them being points) embed properly into $\CC^2$.
For certain bordered submanifolds $M\subset\CC^2$ we show that $M$ can be embedded properly and holomorphically into $\CC^2$. An application is that any subset of a torus with two boundary components can be embedded properly into $\CC^2$.
