Aims
The aim of this course is to introduce and thoroughgoing study certain fundamental results in the theory of functions of several complex variables. The introduction in certain special topics of geometric function theory of several complex variables. The implications of students in the research activity.
Content
1. Holomorphic functions of several complex variables. General properties. Equivalent
definitions, the integral representation formula on polydisc, power series. The
identity theorem for holomorphic function, maximum principle, sequences of
holomorphic functions. Hartogs@ theorem.
2. Holomorphic mappings. General properties. Locally biholomorphic mappings.
Biholomorphic mappings. The equivalence between univalence and biholomorphy. Cartan
uniqueness results. The biholomorphic automorphisms of the Euclidean unit ball and
the unit polydisc.
3. Pluriharmonic functions and plurisubharmonic functions. Properties.
4. Holomorphic extension. Domains of holomorphy. Properties and examples of domains of
holomorphy. Holomorphic convexity. Properties. The equivalence between the notions of
domain of holomorphy and holomorphic convexity.
5. Pseudoconvex domains. Hartogs@ and Levi@s pseudoconvexity. General properties.
6. Subclasses of biholomorphic mappings on the unit ball in Cⁿ: starlike and convex
mappings. Growth and covering results. Coefficient bounds. Examples. Applications
which have parametric representation.
7. Introduction in the theory of differential subordination chains in Cⁿ. The Loewner
differential equation on the unit ball in Cⁿ. Applications.
