Graphs with multiple sheeted pluripolar hulls

In this paper we study the pluripolar hulls of analytic sets. In particular, we show that hulls of graphs of analytic functions can be multiple sheeted and sheets can be separated by a set of zero dimension.Comment: 12 page

Pade interpolation by F-polynomials and transfinite diameter

We define $F$-polynomials as linear combinations of dilations by some frequencies of an entire function $F$. In this paper we use Pade interpolation of holomorphic functions in the unit disk by $F$-polynomials to obtain explicitly approximating $F$-polynomials with sharp estimates on their coefficients. We show that when frequencies lie in a compact set $K\subset\mathbb C$ then optimal choices for the frequencies of interpolating polynomials are similar to Fekete points. Moreover, the minimal norms of the interpolating operators form a sequence whose rate of growth is determined by the transfinite diameter of $K$. In case of the Laplace transforms of measures on $K$, we show that the coefficients of interpolating polynomials stay bounded provided that the frequencies are Fekete points. Finally, we give a sufficient condition for measures on the unit circle which ensures that the sums of the absolute values of the coefficients of interpolating polynomials stay bounded.Comment: 16 page

Transcendence measures and algebraic growth of entire functions

In this paper we obtain estimates for certain transcendence measures of an entire function $f$. Using these estimates, we prove Bernstein, doubling and Markov inequalities for a polynomial $P(z,w)$ in ${\Bbb C}^2$ along the graph of $f$. These inequalities provide, in turn, estimates for the number of zeros of the function $P(z,f(z))$ in the disk of radius $r$, in terms of the degree of $P$ and of $r$. Our estimates hold for arbitrary entire functions $f$ of finite order, and for a subsequence $\{n_j\}$ of degrees of polynomials. But for special classes of functions, including the Riemann $\zeta$-function, they hold for all degrees and are asymptotically best possible. From this theory we derive lower estimates for a certain algebraic measure of a set of values $f(E)$, in terms of the size of the set $E$.Comment: 40 page
