Let Δ be the closed unit disk in C, let Γ be the circle, let Π: Δ×C→Δ be projection, and let$A(Δ)$be the algebra of complex functions continuous on Δ and analytic in int Δ. Let$K$be a compact set in C^{2}such that Π($K$)=Γ, and let$K$_{λ}≠{w∈C|(λ,w)∈K}. Suppose further that (a) for every λ∈Γ,$K$_{λ}is the union of two nonempty disjoint connected compact sets with connected complement, (b) there exists a function Q(λ,w)≠(w-R(λ))^{2}-S(λ) quadratic in w with$R,S∈A(Δ)$such that for all λ∈Γ, {w∈C|Q(λ,w)=0}υ int$K$_{λ}, where$S$has only one zero in int Δ, counting multiplicity, and (c) for every λ∈Γ, the map ω→Q(λ,ω) is injective on each component of$K$_{λ}. Then we prove that К/K is the union of analytic disks 2-sheeted over int Δ, where К is the polynomial convex hull of$K$. Furthermore, we show that БК/K is the disjoint union of such disks.

Let$H$^{∞}be the algebra of bounded analytic functions in the unit disk$D$. Let$I=I(f$_{1},...,$f$_{N}) be the ideal generated by$f$_{1},...,$f$_{N}∈$H$^{∞}and$J=J(f$_{1},...,$f$_{N}) the ideal of the functions$f∈H$^{∞}for which there exists a constant$C=C(f)$such that |$f(z)|≤C(|f$_{1}$(z)|+$...;$+|f$_{N}$(z)$|),$z$∈$D$. It is clear that $$I \subseteq J$$ , but an example due to J. Bourgain shows that$J$is not, in general, in the norm closure of$I$. Our first result asserts that$J$is included in the norm closure of$I$if$I$contains a Carleson-Newman Blaschke product, or equivalently, if there exists$s$>0 such that $$\mathop {\inf }\limits_{z \in D} \sum\limits_{k = 0}^s {(1 - |z|)^k } \sum\limits_{j = 1}^N {|f_j^{(k)} (z)| > 0.} $$

To compare continued fraction digits with the denominators of the corresponding approximants we introduce the arithmetic-geometric scaling. We will completely determine its multifractal spectrum by means of a number-theoretical free-energy function and show that the Hausdorff dimension of sets consisting of irrationals with the same scaling exponent coincides with the Legendre transform of this free-energy function. Furthermore, we identify the asymptotic of the local behaviour of the spectrum at the right boundary point and discuss a connection to the set of irrationals with continued-fraction digits exceeding a given number which tends to infinity.

The subject of this paper is a Jacobian, introduced by F. Lazzeri (unpublished), associated with every compact oriented Riemannian manifold whose dimension is twice an odd number. We study the Torelli and Schottky problem for Lazzeri's Jacobian of flat tori and we compare Lazzeri's Jacobian of Kähler manifolds with other Jacobians.
