We formalize a technique for embedding Riemann sufraces properly into \C^2, and we generalize all known embedding results to allow interpolation on prescribed discrete sequences.
We formulate the Bergman-type interpolation problem on finite open Riemann surfaces covered by the unit disk. Our version of the interpolation problem generalizes Bergman-type interpolation problems previously studied by Seip, Berntsson, Ortega Cerdà, and a number of other authors. We then prove necessary and sufficient conditions for interpolation, and also some sufficient conditions under even weaker hypotheses. The results extend work of Ortega Cerdà, who resolved the case in which the boundary of the surface is pure $1$-dimensional. Our version of the interpolation problem effectively chan…
We study the Bergman space interpolation problem of open Riemann surfaces obtained from a compact Riemann surface by removing a finite number of points. We equip such a surface with what we call an asymptotically flat conformal metric, i.e., a complete metric with zero curvature outside a compact subset. We then establish necessary and sufficient conditions for interpolation in weighted Bergman spaces over asymptotically flat Riemann surfaces.
We find sufficient conditions for a discrete sequence to be interpolating or sampling for certain generalized Bergman spaces on open Riemann surfaces. As in previous work of Bendtsson, Ortega-Cerda, Seip, Wallsten and others, our conditions for interpolation and sampling are as follows: If a certain upper density of the sequence has value less that 1, then the sequence is interpolating, while if a certain lower density has value greater than 1, then the sequence is sampling. However, unlike previous work, we construct an infinite number of densities, naturally parameterized by $L^1_{loc} ([0,\…
Given a Stein manifold X of dimension n>1, a discrete sequence a_j in X, and a discrete sequence b_j in C^m where m > [3n/2], there exists a proper holomorphic embedding of X into C^m which sends a_j to b_j for every j=1,2,.... This is the interpolation version of the embedding theorem due to Eliashberg, Gromov and Schurmann. The dimension m cannot be lowered in general due to an example of Forster.
We enlarge the class of open Riemann surfaces known to be holomorphically embeddable into the plane by allowing them to have additional isolated punctures compared to the known embedding results.
We consider a Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem on finite sequences of the unit disc D constrained by Hardy and radial-weighted Bergman norms. We find sharp asymptotics on the corresponding interpolation constants. As another application of our techniques we prove embedding theorems for rational functions. We find that the embedding of H $\infty$ into Hardy or radial-weighted Bergman spaces in D is invertible on the subset of rational functions of a given degree n whose poles are separated from the unit circle and obtain asymptotically sharp estimates of the corresponding embedding constan…
Let $X$ be an open Riemann surface. We prove an Oka property on the approximation and interpolation of continuous maps $X \to (\mathbb{C}^*)^2$ by proper holomorphic embeddings, provided that we permit a smooth deformation of the complex structure on $X$ outside a certain set. This generalises and strengthens a recent result of Alarcon and Lopez. We also give a Forstneric-Wold theorem for proper holomorphic embeddings (with respect to the given complex structure) of certain open Riemann surfaces into $(\mathbb{C}^*)^2$.
For certain bordered submanifolds $M\subset\CC^2$ we show that $M$ can be embedded properly and holomorphically into $\CC^2$. An application is that any subset of a torus with two boundary components can be embedded properly into $\CC^2$.
We study the existence of proper holomorphic embeddings of bordered Riemann surfaces into the complex plane C^2. Denote by M(R) the moduli space consisting of all equivalence classes of complex structures J on a given smooth oriented bordered surface R. We introduce a class F(R) in M(R)with the following properties: (1) F(R) is nonempty and open (in a natural topology on M(R)); (2) The interior of any Riemann surface (R,J) in the class F(R) admits a proper holomorphic embedding in C^2; (3) If R is a finitely connected planar domain then F(R)=M(R); (4) Each hyperelliptic bordered Riemann surfac…
The geometric notion of ellipticity for complex manifolds was introduced by Gromov in his seminal 1989 paper on the Oka principle, and is a sufficient condition for a manifold to be Oka. In the current paper we present contributions to three open questions involving elliptic and Oka manifolds. We show that quotients of C^n by discrete groups of affine transformations are elliptic. Combined with an example of Margulis, this yields new examples of elliptic manifolds with free fundamental groups and vanishing higher homotopy. Finally we show that every open Riemann surface embeds acyclically into…
In this paper we give results about projective embeddings of Riemann surfaces, smooth or nodal, which we apply to the inverse Dirichlet-to-Neumann problem and to the inversion of a Riemann-Klein theorem. To produce useful embeddings, we adapt a technique of Bishop in the open bordered case and use Runge type harmonic approximation theorem in the compact case.
We consider the space of chord-arc curves on the plane passing through the infinity with their parametrization $γ$ on the real line, and embed this space into the product of the BMO Teichmüller spaces. The fundamental theorem we prove about this representation is that $\log γ'$ also gives a biholomorphic homeomorphism into the complex Banach space of BMO functions. Using these two equivalent complex structures, we develop a clear exposition on the analytic dependence of involved mappings between certain subspaces. Especially, we examine the parametrization of a chord-arc curve by using the Rie…
We prove that given an open Riemann surface $N,$ there exists an open domain $M\subset N$ homeomorphic to $N$ which properly holomorphically embeds in $\mathbb{C}^2.$ Furthermore, $M$ can be chosen with hyperbolic conformal type. In particular, any open orientable surface admits a complex structure properly holomorphically embedding into $\mathbb{C}^2.$
Gromov, in his seminal 1989 paper on the Oka principle, introduced the notion of an elliptic manifold and proved that every continuous map from a Stein manifold to an elliptic manifold is homotopic to a holomorphic map. We show that a much stronger Oka principle holds in the special case of maps from certain open Riemann surfaces called circular domains into CxC*, namely that every continuous map is homotopic to a proper holomorphic embedding. An important ingredient is a generalisation to CxC* of recent results of Wold and Forstneric on the long-standing problem of properly embedding open Rie…
Let $X$ be a CR manifold with transversal, proper CR $G$-action. We show that $X/G$ is a complex space such that the quotient map is a CR map. Moreover the quotient is universal, i.e. every invariant CR map into a complex manifold factorises uniquely over a holomorphic map on $X/G$. We then use this result and complex geometry to proof an embedding theorem for (non-compact) strongly pseudoconvex CR manifolds with transversal $G \rtimes S^1$-action. The methods of the proof are applied to obtain a projective embedding theorem for compact CR manifolds.
Given a smooth polarized Riemann surface (X, L) endowed with a hyperbolic metric $ω$ with cusp singularities along a divisor D, we show the L^2 projective embedding of (X, D) defined by L^k is asymptotically almost balanced in a weighted sense. The proof depends on sufficiently precise understanding of the behavior of the Bergman kernel in three regions, with the most crucial one being the neck region around D. This is the first step towards understanding the algebro-geometric stability of extremal Kähler metrics with singularities.
Let $M$ be an open Riemann surface and let $Λ\subset M$ be a closed discrete subset. In this paper, we prove the existence of complete conformal minimal immersions $M\to\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\ge 3$, with prescribed values on $Λ$ and whose generalized Gauss map $M\to\mathbb{CP}^{n-1}$, $n\ge 3$, avoids $n$ hyperplanes of $\mathbb{CP}^{n-1}$ located in general position. In case $n=3$, we obtain complete nonflat conformal minimal immersions whose Gauss map $M\to\mathbb{S}^2$ omits two (antipodal) values of the sphere. This result is deduced as a consequence of an interpolation theorem for conformal mi…
