On the exponential convergence of Kobayashi geodesics in strongly convex domains

In this paper, we have proved a quantitative version of the approaching geodesic property for certain convex domains. We have proved that that if $\Omega \subset \mathbb{C}^{d}$ is a bounded strongly convex domain with $\mathcal{C}^3$ boundary and $\gamma_{1}, \gamma_{2}:[0, \infty) \to \Omega$ are two geodesic rays such that $\gamma_{1}(\infty)=\gamma_{2}(\infty)=\xi \in \partial \Omega$. Then if the images of $\gamma_{1}$ and $\gamma_{2}$ are contained in the same complex geodesic, then there exists $T\in \mathbb{R}$ \[ \lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{1}{t} \log K_{\Omega}\big(\gamma_{1}(t), \gamma_{2}(t+T)\big) = -2, \] otherwise \[ \lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{1}{t} \log K_{\Omega}\big(\gamma_{1}(t), \gamma_{2}(t+T)\big) = -1. \] Furthermore, using this property we provided a characterization of strongly pseudoconvex domain via a biholomorphic invariant function namely generalized squeezing function. We have proved that: For every $\alpha>0$ there exists $\epsilon(d,\alpha)>0$ such that the following holds: if $\Omega \subset \mathbb{C}^d$ is a bounded convex domain with $\mathcal{C}^{2,\alpha}$-boundary and \[ T_{\Omega}^{D}(z)\geq 1-\epsilon \] outside a compact subset of $\Omega$, where $D \Subset \mathbb{C}^{d}$ is a balanced strongly convex domain with $\mathcal{C}^{3}$ boundary and $T_{\Omega}^{D}$ is the squeezing function of $\Omega$ with respect to the domain $D$ then $\Omega$ is strongly pseudoconvex. We also establish exponential convergence of a certain family of quasi-geodesics in the unit ball of $\mathbb{C}^{d}$. We further show that the study of this family of quasi-geodesics provides a useful tool that allows the exponential convergence property of geodesics to be transferred from local subdomains to the ambient domain, as well as in the reverse direction.

Flow invariant Runge domains and global linearization of holomorphic vector fields

In this paper, we study two problems concerning holomorphic flows on $\mathbb C^n$. First, we prove Runge-type results for positive-time flow invariant domains. For a linear flow $e^{tA}$, where $A\in GL(n,\mathbb C)$, let $E^s$, $E^u$, and $E^c$ denote the stable, unstable, and center subspaces of $A$, respectively. We show that if a positive-time flow invariant domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb C^n$ contains the origin and the center subspace, and if $E^u\oplus E^c$ has positive distance from $\partial\Omega$, then $\Omega$ is a Runge domain. We also discuss additional classes and constructions of flow invariant Runge domains arising from holomorphic dynamics. Second, we investigate the global linearization of holomorphic vector fields by automorphisms of \(\mathbb {C}^n\). We prove that a complete holomorphic vector field $V$ on $\mathbb{C}^n$ with a globally attracting fixed point, satisfying certain integrability condition can be globally linearized by an automorphism of $\mathbb{C}^n$. As a corollary we obtain the global linearization of vector fields of the form $V(z)=Az+O(\|z\|^m)$ near $z= 0$, under certain spectral-gap condition. The conjugating automorphism is obtained as the limit of the family $e^{-tA}X_t$, where $X_t$ is the flow of $V$. Some examples are provided for illustration.

On weak Wolff--Denjoy theorem for certain non-convex domains

In this paper, we provide a class of domains in $\mathbb{C}^3$, such that every holomorphic self-map of that domain either has a fixed point or the sequence of iterates is compactly divergent. In particular, it follows that the symmetrized bidisc, symmetrized tridisc, tetrablock, pentablock are in the aforementioned class of domains. We also prove that the fixed point set of a holomorphic self map of symmetrized bidisc and tetrablock is either empty set or a holomorphic retract. For the symmetrized bidisc, given a holomorphic self-map such that the sequence of iterates is compactly divergent, we also provide a description of its target set.

On Hyperbolicity of Spirallike Circularlike domain

In this paper, we prove that a spirallike circularlike domain is Kobayashi hyperbolic if and only if its core is empty. In particular, we show that such a domain is Kobayashi hyperbolic if and only if it is (biholomorphic to) a bounded domain. We also propose a problem in this area.

A study of spirallike domains: polynomial convexity, Loewner chains and dense holomorphic curves

In this paper, we prove that the closure of a bounded pseudoconvex domain, which is spirallike with respect to a globally asymptotic stable holomorphic vector field, is polynomially convex. We also provide a necessary and sufficient condition, in terms of polynomial convexity, on a univalent function defined on a strongly convex domain for embedding it into a filtering Loewner chain. Next, we provide an application of our first result. We show that for any bounded pseudoconvex strictly spirallike domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{C}^n$ and given any connected complex manifold $Y$, there exists a holomorphic map from the unit disc to the space of all holomorphic maps from $\Omega$ to $Y$. This also yields us the existence of $\mathcal{O}(\Omega, Y)$-universal map for any generalized translation on $\Omega$, which, in turn, is connected to the hypercyclicity of certain composition operators on the space of manifold valued holomorphic maps.

Approximations on certain domains of $\mathbb{C}^{n}$

In this paper, we study the domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$ that are invariant under the positive flows of some globally defined, complete holomorphic vector field with a globally attracting fixed point at the origin. Our first result says that such a domain $\Omega$ is always Runge. Next, with an additional assumption on the rate of convergence of the flow, we show that any biholomorphism $\Phi\colon \Omega \to \Phi(\Omega)$, with $\Phi(\Omega)$ is Runge, can be approximated by automorphisms of $\mathbb{C}^{n}$ uniformly on compacts. This generalizes all earlier known theorems in this direction substantially, even when the vector field is linear. As an application of our approximation results, on such domains that are also complete hyperbolic, we show that any Loewner PDE in a complete hyperbolic domain $\Omega$ admits an essentially unique univalent solution with values in $\mathbb{C}^n$. We also provide an approximation result for volume preserving biholomorphisms on above domains. We provide several examples of such domains.

Early Response Assessment in Lung Cancer Patients using Spatio-temporal CBCT Images

We report a model to predict patient's radiological response to curative radiation therapy (RT) for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Cone-Beam Computed Tomography images acquired weekly during the six-week course of RT were contoured with the Gross Tumor Volume (GTV) by senior radiation oncologists for 53 patients (7 images per patient). Deformable registration of the images yielded six deformation fields for each pair of consecutive images per patient. Jacobian of a field provides a measure of local expansion/contraction and is used in our model. Delineations were compared post-registration to compute unchanged ($U$), newly grown ($G$), and reduced ($R$) regions within GTV. The mean Jacobian of these regions $μ_U$, $μ_G$ and $μ_R$ are statistically compared and a response assessment model is proposed. A good response is hypothesized if $μ_R < 1.0$, $μ_R < μ_U$, and $μ_G < μ_U$. For early prediction of post-treatment response, first, three weeks' images are used. Our model predicted clinical response with a precision of $74\%$. Using reduction in CT numbers (CTN) and percentage GTV reduction as features in logistic regression, yielded an area-under-curve of 0.65 with p=0.005. Combining logistic regression model with the proposed hypothesis yielded an odds ratio of 20.0 (p=0.0).

Analysis of Deformation Fields in Spatio-temporal CBCT images of lungs for radiotherapy patients

Deformable registration of spatiotemporal Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images taken sequentially during the radiation treatment course yields a deformation field for a pair of images. The Jacobian of this field at any voxel provides a measure of the expansion or contraction of a unit volume. We analyze the Jacobian at different sections of the tumor volumes obtained from delineation done by radiation oncologists for lung cancer patients. The delineations across the temporal sequence are compared post registration to compute tumor areas namely, unchanged (U), newly grown (G), and reduced (R) that have undergone changes. These three regions of the tumor are considered for statistical analysis. In addition, statistics of non-tumor (N) regions are taken into consideration. Sequential CBCT images of 29 patients were used in studying the distribution of Jacobian in these four different regions, along with a test set of 16 patients. Statistical tests performed over the dataset consisting of first three weeks of treatment suggest that, means of the Jacobian in the regions follow a particular order. Although, this observation is apparent when applied to the distribution over the whole population, it is found that the ordering deviates for many individual cases. We propose a hypothesis to classify patients who have had partial response (PR). Early prediction of the response was studied using only three weeks of data. The early prediction of response of treatment was supported by a Fisher's test with odds ratio of 5.13 and a p-value of 0.043.
