Stein Domains and Branched Shadows of 4-manifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
We provide sufficient conditions assuring that a suitably decorated 2-polyhedron can be thickened to a compact 4-dimensional Stein domain. We also study a class of flat polyhedra in 4-manifolds and find conditions assuring that they admit Stein, compact neighborhoods. We base our calculations on Turaev’s shadows suitably “smoothed”; the conditions we find are purely algebraic and combinatorial.

Branched Shadows and Complex Structures on 4-manifolds
We define and study branched shadows of 4-manifolds as a combination of branched spines of 3-manifolds and of Turaev’s shadows. We use these objects to combinatorially represent 4-manifolds equipped with Spinc-structures and homotopy classes of almost complex structures. We then use branched shadows to study complex 4-manifolds and prove that each almost complex structure on a 4-dimensional han...
متن کاملHolomorphic Functions of Slow Growth on Coverings of Pseudoconvex Domains in Stein Manifolds
We apply the methods developed in [Br1] to study holomorphic functions of slow growth on coverings of pseudoconvex domains in Stein manifolds. In particular, we extend and strengthen certain results of Gromov, Henkin and Shubin [GHS] on holomorphic L2 functions on coverings of pseudoconvex manifolds in the case of coverings of Stein manifolds.
متن کاملA calculus for shadows of smooth 4-manifolds
We provide a combinatorial presentation of a relevant class of smooth 4-dimensional manifolds based on V.G. Turaev’s theory of shadows. We prove a calculus which could be viewed as a 4-dimensional analog of the results of S. Matveev and R. Piergallini on spines of 3-manifolds. In the last section of the paper we refine our results to the case of standard shadows in analogy with the case of stan...
متن کاملHartogs Type Theorems on Coverings of Stein Manifolds
We prove an analog of the classical Hartogs extension theorem for certain (possibly unbounded) domains on coverings of Stein manifolds.
متن کاملIntegral Representations of Holomorphic Functions on Coverings of Pseudoconvex Domains in Stein Manifolds
The classical integral representation formulas for holomorphic functions defined on pseudoconvex domains in Stein manifolds play an important role in the constructive theory of functions of several complex variables. In this paper we construct similar formulas for certain classes of holomorphic functions defined on coverings of such domains.
