Osgood-Hartogs type properties of power series and smooth functions

We study the convergence of a formal power series of two variables if its restrictions on curves belonging to a certain family are convergent. Also analyticity of a given $C^\infty$ function $f$ is proved when the restriction of $f$ on analytic curves belonging to some family is analytic. Our results generalize two known statements: a theorem of P. Lelong and the Bochnak-Siciak Theorem. The questions we study fall into the category of "Osgood-Hartogs-type" problems.Comment: 13 page

Isolated fixed point sets for holomorphic maps

We study discrete fixed point sets of holomorphic self-maps of complex manifolds. The main attention is focused on the cardinality of this set and its configuration. As a consequence of one of our observations, a bounded domain in ${\Bbb C}^n$ with no non-trivial holomorphic retractions is constructed.Comment: 12 page

Fixed points and Determining Sets for Holomorphic Self-Maps of a Hyperbolic Manifold

We study fixed point sets for holomorphic automorphisms (and endomorphisms) on complex manifolds. The main object of our interest is to determine the number and configuration of fixed points that forces an automorphism (endomorphism) to be the identity. These questions have been examined in a number of papers for a bounded domain in ${\Bbb C}^n$. Here we resolve the case for a general finite dimensional hyperbolic manifold. We also show that the results for non-hyperbolic manifolds are notably different.Comment: 10 page

Testing holomorphy on curves

Abstract. For a domain D ⊂ C n we construct a continuous foliation of D into one real dimensional curves such that any function f ∈ C 1 (D) which can be extended holomorphically into some neighborhood of each curve in the foliation will be holomorphic on D
