We prove some extension theorems and applications, inspired by the very interesting recent results of Hacon-McKernan [HM1], [HM2] and Takayama [Ta], used in the minimal model program and in turn inspired by fundamental results of Siu. Parts of the proofs we give follow quite closely techniques in [Ka], [HM1], [HM2], and [Laz], which use asymptotic constructions. Some related analytic statements...

The algebraic degeneracy of holomorphic curves in a semiAbelian variety omitting a divisor is proved (Lang’s conjecture generalized to semi-Abelian varieties) by making use of the jet-projection method and the logarithmic Wronskian jet differential after Siu-Yeung. We also prove a structure theorem for the locus which contains all possible image of non-constant entire holomorphic curves in a se...

In this paper we study the Cauchy–Riemann equation in complex projective spaces. Specifically, we use the modified weight function method to study the ∂̄-Neumann problem on pseudoconvex domains in these spaces. The solutions are used to study function theory on pseudoconvex domains via the ∂̄-Cauchy problem. We apply our results to prove nonexistence of Lipschitz Levi-flat hypersurfaces in comple...

Studies have shown that people with dementia receive sub-optimal end-of-life care (McCarthy et al, 1997; Morrison and Siu 2000; Mitchell et al, 2004). The National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Council for Palliative Care (NCPC) have highlighted the importance of palliative care for people with dementia (NICE 2006; NCPC 2007). This article explores the palliative care...

In this volume, Kaxton Siu sets out to investigate whether “China’s export-led industrialisation” (p. 14) provides a unique pattern of economic development. Bringing together more than ten years research, draws from wealth sources: his own quantitative surveys and ethnographic observation oral history (by female garment workers in Hong Kong between 1960 the 1980s). He also thoroughly engages wi...

Theorem. There exist no C Levi-flat real hypersurfaces in CP . This improves an earlier result of Siu [Si2] where C smoothness is required. For the nonexistence of Levi-flat hypersurfaces in CP with n ≥ 3, Lins-Neto [LN] first proved the nonexistence of real-analytic hypersurfaces in CP. Nonexistence of C Levi-flat hypersurfaces in CP was proved for n ≥ 3 by Siu [Si1]. It is proved in a recent ...
