In this paper we give an explicit formula for the solution of the non-homogeneous complex Cauchy problem with Cauchy data given on a bounded smooth strictly convex domain in a non-characteristic hyperplane. These formulas are obtained using the explicit version of the fundamental principle given in terms of residue currents; moreover, we characterize the domain of definition of the solution and we generalize these techniques to the non-homogeneous Goursat problem.

We show that under conditions of regularity, if$E′$is isomorphic to$F′$, then the spaces of homogeneous polynomials over$E$and$F$are isomorphic. Some subspaces of polynomials more closely related to the structure of dual spaces (weakly continuous, integral, extendible) are shown to be isomorphic in full generality.

We prove the Poincaré inequality for vector fields on the balls of the control distance by integrating along subunit paths. Our method requires that the balls are representable by means of suitable “controllable almost exponential maps”.

We study the ergodic properties of fibered rational maps of the Riemann sphere. In particular we compute the topological entropy of such mappings and construct a measure of maximal relative entropy. The measure is shown to be the unique one with this property. We apply the results to selfmaps of ruled surfaces and to certain holomorphic mapping of the complex projective plane$P$^{2}.
