Examples of involutive deformations for which the Stein completion does not embed in a complex Euclidean space of stable dimension are in fact well-known. Under the assumption that X0 admits a Kähler metric with L-curvature, we show that unstable deformations are avoided if the holomorphic functions which determine an embedding of the central fibre are correspondingly deformed into functions which can be uniformly bounded on compact subsets.","PeriodicalId":18467,"journal":{"name":"Methods and applications of analysis","volume":"24 1","pages":"277-292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70488355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This result is sharp as shows an example of a logarithmic spiral.","PeriodicalId":18467,"journal":{"name":"Methods and applications of analysis","volume":"25 1","pages":"225-232"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2016-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70488902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
