The aim of this dissertation is to give explicit descriptions of the set of proper holomorphic mappings between two complex manifolds with reasonable restrictions on the domain and target spaces. Without any restrictions, this problem is intractable even when posed for do-mains in . We give partial results for special classes of manifolds. We study, broadly, two types of structure results: Descriptive. The first result of this thesis is a structure theorem for finite proper holomorphic mappings between products of connected, hyperbolic open subsets of compact Riemann surfaces. A special case of our result follows from the techniques used in a classical result due to Remmert and Stein, adapted to the above setting. However, the presence of factors that have no boundary or boundaries that consist of a discrete set of points necessitates the use of techniques that are quite divergent from those used by Remmert and Stein. We make use of a finiteness theorem of Imayoshi to deal with these factors. Rigidity. A famous theorem of H. Alexander proves the non-existence of non-injective proper holomorphic self-maps of the unit ball in . ,n >1. Several extensions of this result for various classes of domains have been established since the appearance of Alexander’s result, and it is conjectured that the result is true for all bounded domains in . , n > 1, whose boundary is C2-smooth. This conjecture is still very far from being settled. Our first rigidity result establishes the non-existence of non-injective proper holomorphic self-maps of bounded, balanced pseudo convex domains of finite type (in the sense of D’Angelo) in ,n >1. This generalizes a result in 2, by Coupet, Pan and Sukhov, to higher dimensions. As in Coupet–Pan–Sukhov, the aforementioned domains need not have real-analytic boundaries. However, in higher dimensions, several aspects of their argument do not work. Instead, we exploit the circular symmetry and a recent result in complex dynamics by Opshtein. Our next rigidity result is for bounded symmetric domains. We prove that a proper holomorphic map between two non-planar bounded symmetric domains of the same dimension, one of them being irreducible, is a biholomorphism. Our methods allow us to give a single, all-encompassing argument that unifies the various special cases in which this result is known. Furthermore, our proof of this result does not rely on the fine structure (in the sense of Wolf et al.) of bounded symmetric domains. Thus, we are able to apply our techniques to more general classes of domains. We illustrate this by proving a rigidity result for certain convex balanced domains whose automorphism groups are assumed to only be non-compact. For bounded symmetric domains, our key tool is that of Jordan triple systems, which is used to describe the boundary geometry.

Some problems concerning the algebra of bounded holomorphic functions from bounded domains in Cn are solved. A bounded domain of holomorphy Q in C2 with nonschlicht i7°°- envelope of holomorphy is constructed and it is shown that there is a point in Q for which Gleason’s Problem for H°°(Q) cannot be solved. If A(f2) is the Banach algebra of functions holomorphic in the bounded domain Q in Cn and continuous on the boundary and if p is a point in Q, then the following problem is known as Gleason’s Problem for A(Q) : Is the maximal ideal in A(Q) consisting of functions vanishing at p generated by (Zl ~Pl) , ■■■ , (Zn - Pn) ? A sufficient condition for solving Gleason’s Problem for A(Q) for all points in Q is given. In particular, this condition is fulfilled by a convex domain Q with Lipi+£-boundary (0 &lt; e &lt; 1) and thus generalizes a theorem of S.L.Leibenzon. One of the ideas in the methods of proof is integration along specific polygonal lines. If Gleason’s Problem can be solved in a point it can be solved also in a neighbourhood of the point. It is shown, that the coefficients in this case depends holomorphically on the points. Defining a projection from the spectrum of a uniform algebra of holomorphic functions to Cn, one defines the fiber in the spectrum over a point as the elements in the spectrum that projects on that point. Defining a kind of maximum modulus property for domains in Cn, some problems concerning the fibers and the number of elements in the fibers in certain algebras of bounded holomorphic functions are solved. It is, for example, shown that the set of points, over which the fibers contain more than one element is closed. A consequence is also that a starshaped domain with the maximum modulus property has schlicht /y°°-envelope of holomorphy. These kind of problems are also connected with Gleason’s problem. A survey paper on general properties of algebras of bounded holomorphic functions of several variables is included. The paper, in particular, treats aspects connecting iy°°-envelopes of holomorphy and some areas in the theory of uniform algebras. / <p>Diss.

[pt] Neste texto estudamos diversos aspectos de singularidades de campos vetoriais holomorfos em dimensão 2. Discutimos detalhadamente o caso particular de uma singularidade sela-nó e o papel desempenhado pelas normalizações setoriais. Isto nos conduz à classificação analítica de difeomorfismos tangentes à identidade. seguir abordamos o Teorema de Seidenberg, tratando da redução de singularidades degeneradas em singularidades simples, através do procedimento de blow-up. Por fim, estudamos a demonstração do Teorema de Mattei-Moussu, acerca da existência de integrais primeiras para folheações holomorfas. / [en] In the present text, we study the different aspects of singularities of holomorphic vector fields in dimension 2. We discuss in detail the particular case of a saddle-node singularity and the role of the sectorial normalizations. This leads us to the analytic classiffication of diffeomorphisms which are tangent to the identity. Next, we approach the Seidenberg Theorem, dealing with the reduction of degenerated singularities into simple ones, by means of the blow-up procedure. Finally, we study the proof of the well-known Mattei-Moussu Theorem concerning the existence of first integrals to holomorphic foliations.

Holomorphic correspondences are multivalued functions from the Riemann sphere to itself. This thesis is concerned with a certain type of holomorphic correspondence known as a covering correspondence. In particular we are concerned with a one complexdimensional family of correspondences constructed by post-composing a covering correspondence with a conformal involution. Correspondences constructed in this manner have varied and intricate dynamics. We introduce and analyze two subfamilies of this parameter space. The first family consists of correspondences for which the limit set is a Cantor set, the second family consists of correspondences for which the limit set is connected and for which the action of the correspondence on the complement of this limit set exhibits certain group like behaviour.

Este trabalho tem como principal objetivo estudar extensões de aplicações multilineares, de polinômios homogêneos e de funções analíticas entre espaços de Banach. Desta maneira, nos baseamos em importantes trabalhos sobre o assunto. Inicialmente apresentamos o produto de Arens para álgebras de Banach, extensões de Aron-Berner e de Davie-Gamelin para aplicações multilineares e provamos que todas estas extensões coincidem. A partir destes resultados, apresentamos a extensão de polinômios homogêneos e o Teorema de Davie-Gamelin que afirma que, assim como no caso de aplicações multilineares, as extensões de polinômios preservam a norma e, como consequência deste teorema, apresentamos uma generalização do Teorema de Goldstine. Em seguida estudamos espaços de Banach regulares e simetricamente regulares, que são propriedades relacionadas com a unicidade de extensão e são definidas a partir do ideal de operadores lineares fracamente compactos K^w(E, F) . Finalmente apresentamos a extensão de uma função de H_b(E) para H_b(E\'\') e o resultado, de Ignacio Zalduendo, que caracteriza esta extensão em termos da continuidade fraca-estrela do operador diferencial de primeira ordem. / The main purpose of this work is to study extensions of multilinear mappings, homogeneous polynomials and analytic functions between Banach Spaces. In this way, we rely on important works on the subject. Firstly we present the Arens-product for Banach algebras, the Aron-Berner and Davie-Gamelin extensions for multilinear mappings and we prove that all these extensions are the same. From these results, we present an extension for homogeneous polynomials and the Davie-Gamelin theorem which asserts that, as in the case of multilinear mappings, the polynomial extension is norm-preserving and, as a consequence of this theorem, we present a generalization of the Goldstine theorem. After that we study regular and symmetrically regular Banach spaces which are properties related to the uniqueness of the extension and are defined in the setting of weakly compact linear operators K^w(E, F) . Lastly, we present the extension of a function of H_b(E) to one in H_b(E\'\') and the result, according to Ignacio Zalduendo, which characterizes this extension in terms of weak-star continuity of the first order differential operator.

Let Mk(∞) (Gamma, nu) denote the space of weight k weakly holomorphic weight modular forms with poles only at the cusp (∞), and let widehat Mk(∞) (Gamma, nu) subseteq Mk(∞) (Gamma, nu) denote the space of weight k weakly holomorphic modular forms in Mk(∞) (Gamma, nu) which vanish at every cusp other than (∞). We construct canonical bases for these spaces in terms of Maass--Poincaré series, and show that the coefficients of these bases satisfy Zagier duality.

In this thesis we define the notion of an overshear on a Danielewskisurface. Next we show that the group generated by the overshears is dense in the component of the identity of the automorphism group. Moreover, we show that the overshear group has a structure of an amalgamated product, and as consequence of this the overshear group is a proper subgroup of the automorphism group. Finally we classify the R^n-actions, and therefore the one parameter subgroups, of the overshear group. We also show that any Lie subgroup of an amalgamated product can be conjugated to one of the factors of the amalgamated product.
