Oscillation and boundary curvature of holomorphic curves in \(\mathbb{C}^n\) (Q1128271)

Let \(F:\overline{U}\to \mathbb{C}^n\) be a holomorphic curve. Let \(\Omega(F)\) be the maximal number of isolated intersections between the curve and a complex affine hyperplane. The main result is an upper bound for \(\Omega(F)\) in terms of a weighted sum of the integral curvature \(K(\gamma)\) of the boundary \(\gamma=\partial U\) and the integral complex Frénet curvatures \(K_j(\Gamma)\) of the boundary \(\Gamma= \partial F\). The proof is based on a generalization of the Fary-Milnor theorem for complex Hermitian spaces. For the real case, cf. \textit{D. Novikov} and \textit{S. Yakovenko} [J. Dyn. Control Syst. 2, No. 2, 157-191 (1996; MR 97b:53062)].
