Holomorphic families of non-equivalent embeddings and of holomorphic group actions on affine space
We construct holomorphic families of proper holomorphic embeddings of \C^k
into \C^n (), so that for any two different parameters in the family
no holomorphic automorphism of \C^n can map the image of the corresponding
two embeddings onto each other. As an application to the study of the group of
holomorphic automorphisms of \C^n we derive the existence of families of
holomorphic \C^*-actions on \C^n () so that different actions in
the family are not conjugate. This result is surprising in view of the long
standing Holomorphic Linearization Problem, which in particular asked whether
there would be more than one conjugacy class of \C^* actions on \C^n (with
prescribed linear part at a fixed point)
Exponential factorizations of holomorphic maps
We show that any element of the special linear group is a product
of two exponentials if the ring is either the ring of holomorphic functions
on an open Riemann surface or the disc algebra. This is sharp: one exponential
factor is not enough since the exponential map corresponding to
is not surjective. Our result extends to the linear group

On Kazhdan's Property (T) for the special linear group of holomorphic functions
We investigate when the group of holomorphic maps from
a Stein space to SL_n (\C) has Kazhdan's property (T) for . This
provides a new class of examples of non-locally compact groups having Kazhdan's
property (T). In particular we prove that the holomorphic loop group of SL_n
(\C) has Kazhdan's property (T) for . Our result relies on the method
of Shalom to prove Kazhdan's property (T) and the solution to Gromov's
Vaserstein problem by the authors.Comment: 5 page
Criteria for the density property of complex manifolds
In this paper we suggest new effective criteria for the density property.
This enables us to give a trivial proof of the original Anders\'en-Lempert
result and to establish (almost free of charge) the algebraic density property
for all linear algebraic groups whose connected components are different from
tori or \C_+. As another application of this approach we tackle the question
(asked among others by F. Forstneri\v{c}) about the density of algebraic vector
fields on Euclidean space vanishing on a codimension 2 subvariety.Comment: to appear in Invent. Mat
On the present state of the Andersen-Lempert theory
In this survey of the Andersen-Lempert theory we present the state of the art
in the study of the density property (which means that the Lie algebra
generated by completely integrable holomorphic vector fields on a given Stein
manifold is dense in the space of all holomorphic vector fields). There are
also two new results in the paper one of which is the theorem stating that the
product of Stein manifolds with the volume density property possesses such a
property as well. The second one is a meaningful example of an algebraic
surface without the algebraic density property. The proof of the last fact
requires Brunella's technique.Comment: 40 page
