Vector bundles over a Stein space are projective

It is a "well known" fact that locally free sheaves over a Stein space $X$ are projective as $\mathcal{O}_X$-modules (see e.g. just after Lemma 1.6 in O'Brian-Toledo-Tong's "The trace ...

Cartan–Remmert reduction of an algebraic variety

Let $V$ be a normal connected algebraic (say, quasi-projective) variety over complex numbers. Assume that underlying complex analytic space $V^\text{an}$ is holomorphically convex, and thus admits the ...

Complex manifolds making Liouville fail

Let us consider $g\colon X\to Y$ holomorphic, where $X$ is a complex manifold and $Y$ is a Stein manifold. I am searching for all the pairs $(X,Y)$ such that we can find some non constant $g$ with ...

holomorphic functions on Stein manifolds reaching maxima in a given point on the boundary (Shilov boundary)

Let $M$ be a Stein manifold with smooth, strictly pseudoconvex boundary, and $x$ a point on its boundary. Is there a holomorphic function $f$ on $M$, smooth on the boundary, with strict maximum of $|f|...

Dense Stein subset in complex manifold

Let $X$ be a smooth proper algebraic variety. Then $X$ has a dense affine open subset. In particular, any smooth proper algebraic variety has a dense Stein open subset as the complement of a divisor. ...

Extension of holomorphic function on family of relatively compact strictly pseudoconvex domains

Let $Y \to M$ be a (proper and locally trivial) family of relatively compact strictly pseudoconvex domains which are smooth (not neccesarily Stein spaces). So $Y$ and $M$ are a complex manifold and ...

Question about an estimate in Hörmander's proof of Cartan's Theorem B

I have been working through the proof of Cartan's Theorem B that Hörmander gives in his book 'Introduction to Complex Analysis in Several Variables'. When I began, I skipped over some of the initial ...

A basic question on the definition of Cartan-Remmert reduction and holomorphic convexity

Here is a definition of holomorphic convexity taken from the notes of Eyssidieux: Defintion. A complex analytic space $S$ is holomorphically convex if there is a proper holomorphic morphism $\pi: S\...
