Slice regular functions on alternative *-algebras : prescribing zeroes and values on discrete sets and related extension problems

Slice regular functions are a generalization of holomorphic functions where alternative real $*$-algebras are considered instead of the field of complex numbers. For such functions we show that zero sets and function values on suitable subsets may be prescribed. As a consequence, we show that for any axially symmetric domain there exist slice regular functions which (due to the nature of its zero set) can not be extended to a larger such domain.

Invariants and Automorphisms for slice regular functions

Let $A$ be one of the following Clifford algebras : $\mathbb{R}_2 \cong \mathbb{H}$ or $\mathbb{R}_3$. For the algebra $A$, the automorphism group $Aut(A)$ and its invariants are well known. In this paper we will describe the invariants of the automorphism group of the algebra of slice regular functions over $A$.

Counterexamples related to the Kobayashi Pseudodistance

We present some unexpected examples related to the Kobayashi pseudodistance: For an unramified covering, the vanishing of the Kobayashi pseudodistance on the base does not imply the vanishing on the total space. The vanishing of the Kobayashi pseudodistance does not imply the vanishing of the Kobayashi Royden pseudo metric. Given a locally holomorphic trivial fiber bundle, the Kobayashi pseudodistance may vanish identically on the total space even if the fiber is hyperbolic.

The Density Property for Vector Bundles

We prove that holomorphic vector bundles over Stein manifolds with the density property also satisfy the density property, provided that the total space is holomorphically flexible. We apply this result to provide a new class of Stein manifolds with the density property.

On a Runge Theorem over $\mathbb{R}_3$

In this paper we investigate a topological characterization of the Runge theorem in the Clifford algebra $ \mathbb{R}_3$ via the description of the homology groups of axially symmetric open subsets of the quadratic cone in $\mathbb{R}_3$.

The harmonicity of slice regular functions

In this article we investigate harmonicity, Laplacians, mean value theorems and related topics in the context of quaternionic analysis. We observe that a Mean Value Formula for slice regular functions holds true and it is a consequence of the well known Representation Formula for slice regular functions over $\mathbb{H}$. Motivated by this observation, we have constructed three order-two differential operators in the kernel of which slice regular functions are, answering positively to the question: is a slice regular function over $\mathbb{H}$ (analogous to an holomorphic function over $\mathbb{C}$) "harmonic" in some sense, i.e. is it in the kernel of some order-two differential operator over $\mathbb{H}$ ? Finally, some applications are deduced, such as a Poisson Formula for slice regular functions over $\mathbb{H}$ and a Jensen's Formula for semi-regular ones.

On a quaternionic Picard theorem

The classical theorem of Picard states that a non-constant holomorphic function $f:\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}$ can avoid at most one value. We investigate how many values a non-constant slice regular function of a quaternionic variable $f:\mathbb{H}\to\mathbb{H}$ may avoid.

Dense entire curves in Rationally Connected manifolds

We show the existence of metrically dense entire curves in rationally connected complex projective manifolds confirming for this case a conjecture according to which such entire curves on projective manifolds exist if and only if these are "special". We also show that such a dense entire curve may be chosen in such a way that it does not lift to any of its ramified covers, answering in this case a question of Corvaja and Zannier about the Nevanlinna analog of the `weak Hilbert property' of arithmetic geometry. We consider briefly the other test case of the conjecture, namely manifolds with $c_1=0$. Furthermore we discuss entire curves in normal rational surfaces avoiding the singular locus.

Tame discrete subsets in Stein manifolds

For discrete subsets in ${\bf C}^n$ the notion of being "tame" was defined by Rosay and Rudin. We propose a general definition of "tameness" for arbitrary complex manifolds and show that many results classically known for ${\bf C}^n$ may be generalized to semisimple complex Lie groups. For example, every permutation of $SL(2,{\bf Z})$ extends to a biholomorphic self-map of $SL(2,{\bf C}$.

Isomorphisms of jet schemes

If two schemes are isomorphic, then their $m$-jet schemes are isomorphic for all $m$. In this paper we consider the converse problem. We prove that if an isomorphism of the $m$-jet schemes is induced from a morphism of the base schemes, then the morphism of the base schemes is an isomorphism. But we also prove that just the existence of isomorphisms between $m$-jet schemes does not yield the existence of an isomorphism between the base schemes.

On a question of Kollár

We show: If a bounded domain in a Stein space covers a compact complex space, it must be smooth. This give a negative answer to a question of Kollár. Furthermore, we deduce some related results.

A Brody theorem for orbifolds

We study the Kobayashi pseudodistance for orbifolds, proving an orbifold version of Brody's theorem and classifying which one-dimensional orbifolds are hyperbolic.
