We find a real analytic Levi-flat hypersurface in$C$^{2}containing a bounded contractible domain which is a determining set for pluriharmonic functions.

We study the problem of density of polynomials in the de Branges spaces ℋ($E$) of entire functions and obtain conditions (in terms of the distribution of the zeros of the generating function$E$) ensuring that the polynomials belong to the space ℋ($E$) or are dense in this space. We discuss the relation of these results with the recent paper of V. P. Havin and J. Mashreghi on majorants for the shift-coinvariant subspaces. Also, it is shown that the density of polynomials implies the hypercyclicity of translation operators in ℋ($E$).

In this paper we consider the following two-phase obstacle-problem-like equation in the unit half-ball $$\Delta u = \lambda_{+\chi_{\{ u>0 \}}} - \lambda_{-\chi_{\{ u<0 \}}},\quad\lambda_{\pm}>0. $$ We prove that the free boundary touches the fixed boundary (uniformly) tangentially if the boundary data$f$and its first and second derivatives vanish at the touch-point.

We show that if the graph of an analytic function in the unit disk$D$is not complete pluripolar in$C$^{2}then the projection of its pluripolar hull contains a fine neighborhood of a point $p\in\partial\mathbf{D}$ . Moreover the projection of the pluripolar hull is always finely open. On the other hand we show that if an analytic function$f$in$D$extends to a function ℱ which is defined on a fine neighborhood of a point $p\in\partial\mathbf{D}$ and is finely analytic at$p$then the pluripolar hull of the graph of$f$contains the graph of ℱ over a smaller fine neighborhood of$p$. We give several examples of functions with this property of fine analytic continuation. As a corollary we obtain new classes of analytic functions in the disk which have non-trivial pluripolar hulls, among them$C$^{∞}functions on the closed unit disk which are nowhere analytically extendible and have infinitely-sheeted pluripolar hulls. Previous examples of functions with non-trivial pluripolar hull of the graph have fine analytic continuation.
