When do real analytic functions form a coherent sheaf?

For real-analytic manifolds, coherence of the structure sheaf always holds. The 1-sentence reason is that one can pass to real and imaginary parts on Oka's coherence theorem in several complex ...

Are real-analytic functions in $\mathbb{R}^2$ holomorphic after suitable change of coordinates?

The answer is negative. For the non-injective case, the reason is that non-constant complex analytic functions are open, discrete maps, while real analytic functions can be neither open nor discrete (...

No analytic surjection $f:M \to N$ when $\dim(M) >\dim(N)$

Any analytic $n$-manifold admits an analytic surjection $f$ from $\mathbb{R}^n$: pick an analytic Riemannian metric (e.g. by embedding to $\mathbb{R}^N$ by Whitney-Grauert-Morrey embedding theorem) ...

Is the analytic version of the Whitney Approximation Theorem true?

The result is not stated in Grauert's paper. On the other hand, Grauert proves that every real analytic manifold $M$ sits as a real analytic totally real submanifold, and analytic deformation ...

Are conformal maps between Riemannian manifolds real-analytic?

As essentially follows from your argument in the comment to Piotr Hajlasz's answer (now deleted), for $f\colon M\to N$ to be a counterexample, it cannot be a diffeomorphism. Because then you could ...

Topology on space of hyperfunctions

This is a comment but will be too long. You start with the following setup: a pair of Fréchet spaces (the holomorphic functions on the complex plane, resp. on the complement of the real line there) ...

Symplectic form on a Kähler manifold can be not real analytic?

The answer is positive for any Kähler manifold. Consider first surfaces. Take a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma$, then any symplectic form on it is associated to a Kähler form, so the answer is yes, ...

In the real analytic category, are the fibers of a proper submersion isomorphic?

Analog of Newlander–Nirenberg theorem for real analytic manifolds

I think this question can be addressed in a few ways. Two great answers have already been given: Real analytic is a regularity condition, while holomorphic is more algebraic, so you'd need a ...

About nuclear-by-exact extensions

Yes, if the quotient $B$ is nuclear, then the extension is locally semisplit by the Choi-Effros lifting theorem. Hence if (in addition) $I$ is exact, then $A$ is exact (see for instance Exercise 3.9.8 ...

Symplectic form on a Kähler manifold can be not real analytic?

Not quite an answer, but something related to it. There is this paper where the authors prove, that for every symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ there is an analytical manifold $M^a$ and an analytical ...

Are real-analytic functions in $\mathbb{R}^2$ holomorphic after suitable change of coordinates?

To see why the second question cannot have a simple answer, it is sufficient to look at the local context near a fixed-point of a tangent-to-identity mapping, as Alexandre Eremenko suggests. By "...

Identity Theorem for Real-Analytic Hypersurfaces

Yes: two closed irreducible analytic hypersurfaces are identical just when they are identical near some point. Careful that they are closed. But your hypothesis ensures that they are irreducible.

Polynomial vector field tangent to a given analytic simple closed curve

Does Noetherianity imply division theorem?

This is a consequence of the noetherianity of $\mathcal{O}_n$, in some way. Let me write $A_n$ for the ring of real formal formal series around the origin, i.e., $A_n=\mathbb{R}[[t_1,\dotsc,t_n]]$. ...

It's not always possible to find such a function, for example take $x_n\to 0-$, $y_n=-e^{-1/x_n^2}$. A holomorphic function $f: D_r(0)\to\mathbb C$, $f\not\equiv 0$, would satisfy $|f(x)|\gtrsim |x|^k$...
