We give a diffeomorphism classification of pinched negatively curved manifolds with amenable fundamental groups, namely, they are precisely the Möbius band, and the products of$R$with the total spaces of flat vector bundles over closed infranilmanifolds.

The continuity of weak solutions of elliptic partial differential equations $$div \mathcal{A}(x,\nabla u) = 0$$ is considered under minimal structure assumptions. The main result guarantees the continuity at the point$x$_{0}for weakly monotone weak solutions if the structure of$A$is controlled in a sequence of annuli $$B(x_0 ,R_j )\backslash \bar B(x_0 ,r_j )$$ with uniformly bounded ratio$R$_{$j$}$/r$_{$j$}such that lim_{$j→∞$}$R$_{$j$}=0. As a consequence, we obtain a sufficient condition for the continuity of mappings of finite distortion.

Let$M$be a non-compact connected Riemann surface of a finite type, and$R$⋐$M$be a relatively compact domain such that$H$_{1}($M$,$Z$)=$H$_{1}($R$,$Z$). Let $$\tilde R \to R$$ be a covering. We study the algebra$H$^{∞}($U$) of bounded holomorphic functions defined in certain subdomains $$U \subset \tilde R$$ . Our main result is a Forelli type theorem on projections in$H$^{∞}($D$).
