Proper Holomorphic Maps in Euclidean Spaces Avoiding Unbounded Convex Sets

Abstract

We show that if E is a closed convex set in {mathbb {C}}^n(n>1) contained in a closed halfspace H such that Ecap bH is nonempty and bounded, then the concave domain Omega = {mathbb {C}}^n{setminus } E contains images of proper holomorphic maps f:Xrightarrow {mathbb {C}}^n from any Stein manifold X of dimension <n, with approximation of a given map on closed compact subsets of X. If in addition 2dim X+1le n then f can be chosen an embedding, and if 2dim X=n, then it can be chosen an immersion. Under a stronger condition on E, we also obtain the interpolation property for such maps on closed complex subvarieties.
