It is proved that dicritical singularities of real analytic Levi-flat sets coincide with the set of Segre degenerate points.

A generalization of a result of Wermer concerning the existence of polynomial hulls without analytic discs is presented. As a consequence it is shown that there exists a Cantor set X in C3 whose polynomial hull is strictly larger than X but contains no analytic discs.

The aim of this work is to construct examples of pairs whose logarithmic cotangent bundles have strong positivity properties. These examples are constructed from any smooth $n$-dimensional complex projective varieties by considering the sum of at least $n$ general sufficiently ample hypersurfaces.

Weak mirror symmetry relates a manifold with complex structure to another manifold equipped with a symplectic structure through a quasiisomorphism of associated differential Gerstenhaber algebras. The two manifolds are then mirror partners. In this paper we consider the analogous problem on Lie algebras. In particular we show that the semi-direct product of a Lie algebra equipped with a torsion-free flat connection with itself is a mirror partner of a semi-direct product of the same Lie algebra with its dual space. For nilpotent algebras this analysis on Lie algebras can be applied to the compact quotients of the underlying nilpotent group. We classify mirror pairs among 6-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras that have the semi-direct product structure as well as mirror pairs admitting the more involved special Lagrangian structure, namely compatible complex and symplectic structures on the same space.
