Abstract

Analysis of several complex variables is not studied in the usual university program. At the same time it is a necessary pre-requisite to study many important domains of contemporary mathematics such as algebraic geometry, complex dynamics, singularity theory, differential equations etc. While holomorphic functions of several complex variables share many basic properties of functions of one variable, new phenomena of analytic extention occurs. For example, they can have neither isolated singularities, nor compact sets of singularities. Each complex space of dimension at least two contains a proper domain that is biholomorphically equivalent to the ambient space (Fatou——Bieberbach domain). Theory of holomorphic convexity and Stein manifolds together with basic sheave theory allow to prove important extension and approximation theorems. The GAGA principle in algebraic geometry says that every analytic object on a complex projective algebraic manifold is algebraic. The cours will cover the above mentioned topics, including basic analytic set theory, biholomorphic automorphisms and introduction to complex dynamics.

Learning Objectives

To make students familiar with the main basic theorems of multidimensional complex analysis, e.g., Hartogs' theorem, theorem on erasing compact (or codimension >1) singularities.
To study analytic set theory, Wejerstrtass polynomials, branched coverings, explain Proper Mapping Theorem and its importance by providing applications, e.g., proof of Chow theorem in algebraic geometry.
To introduce intersection index and show that each automorphism of a projective space is a projective transformation.
To study automorphism groups of polydisc and ball.
To make an introduction to complex dynamics, demonstrate important interplay between complex analysis and dynamics by showing how the dynamics produces Fatou—Bieberbach domains: exotic copies of affine complex spaces.
To study the notions of domain of holomorphy, holomorphic convexity, pseudoconvexity, Levi convexity and to make clear relations between them and equivalence of their different definitions.
To introduce Levi form and formulate conditions (one necessary, another sufficient) for a domain with smooth boundary to be Levi convex. To make clear that Levi-positive hypersurfaces admit a natural contact structure.
To introduce Dolbeault ahd sheaf cohomology, prove extension and approximation theorems for functions on analytic subsets in holomorphically convex.
To introduce Stein manifolds and make clear equivalence of their different definitions (including their realization as submanifolds in affine complex spaces). To introduce coherent sheaves and study Cartan's A and B theorems. Extend the above-mentioned extension and approximation theorem to Stein manifolds.
