We introduce the notion of an ``RR-space''. (RR stands for Rosay and Rudin.) These spaces essentially share the properties of tame subsets known for ${\bf C}^n$. The class of RR-spaces contains character-free complex linear algebraic groups as well as Danielewski surfaces.
Rosay and Rudin introduced the notion of Tame discrete subsets of the affine complex space and investigated their properties. We generalize this theory to the case of a complex linear algebraic group with trivial character group.
We show that an $n$-dimensional compact Kähler manifold $X$ admitting a non-degenerate meromorphic map $f:{\bf C}^n\to X$ of order $ρ_f<2$ is rationally connected.
We prove that every Riemann surface not isomorphic to the Riemann sphere admits an infinitesimal deformation of the complex structure. The proof is based in an investigation of the length of geodesics for the Kobayashi/Poincare metric.
We show that a complex projective manifold X which satisfies the Gromov's h-principle is `special', and raise some questions about the reverse implication, the extension to the quasi-K\" ahler case, and the relationships of these properties to the `Oka' property. The guiding principle is that the existence of many Stein manifolds which have degenerate Kobayashi pseudometric gives strong obstructions to the complex hyperbolicity of X satisfying the h-principle.
Let $ι: \C^2 \hookrightarrow S$ be a compactification of the two dimensional complex space $\C^2$. By making use of Nevanlinna theoretic methods and the classification of compact complex surfaces K. Kodaira proved in 1971 (\cite{ko71}) that $S$ is a rational surface. Here we deal with a more general meromorphic map $f: \C^n \to X$ into a compact complex manifold $X$ of dimension $n$, whose differential $df$ has generically rank $n$. Let $ρ_f$ denote the order of $f$. We will prove that if $ρ_f<2$, then every global symmetric holomorphic tensor must vanish; in particular, {\it if $\dim X=2$ and $X$ is kähler, then $X$ is a rational surface. Without the kähler condition there is no such conclusion, as we will show by a counter-example using a Hopf surface.} This may be the first instance that the kähler or non-kähler condition makes a difference in the value distribution theory.
We establish the second main theorem with the best truncation level one for an entire holomorphic curve $f:\C \to A$ into a semi-abelian variety $A$ and an arbitrary effective reduced divisor $D$ on $A$; the low truncation level is important for applications. We will actually prove this for the jet lifts of $f$. Finally we give some applications, including the solution of a problem posed by Mark Green.
Applying the Second Main Theorem we deal with the algebraic degeneracy of entire holomorphic curves from the complex plane into a complex algebraic normal variety of positive log Kodaira dimension that admits a finite proper morphism to a semi-abelian variety. We will also discuss applications to the Kobayashi hyperbolicity problem.
We study the rigidity questions and the Albanese Variety for Complex Parallelizable Manifolds. Both are related to the study of the cohomology group $H^1(X,\mathcal O)$. In particular we show that a compact complex parallelizable manifold is rigid iff $b_1(X)=0$ iff Alb$(X)=\{e\}$ iff $H^1(X,\mathcal O)=0$.
We study flat vector bundles over complex parallelizable manifolds.
