Proper maps which are Lipschitz \(\alpha\) up to the boundary (Q1387678)

Denote by \(B^n\) the unit ball in \(\mathbb{C}^n\). The main result of the paper under review is as follows. Theorem. (a) Let \(\alpha<1/6\); then there exists \(N=N(\alpha,n)\) such that we can find \(F:B^n\to B^N\) that is proper, holomorphic, and Lipschitz \(\alpha\) up to the boundary, but \(F\) is not holomorphic across the boundary. (b) If \(D\) is a general strictly pseudoconvex domain with \(C^\infty\)-boundary in \(\mathbb{C}^n\), then we can find a map \(F:D\to B^N\), \(N=N(\alpha,n)\), that is proper, holomorphic, and Lipschitz \(\alpha\) up to the boundary of \(D\). The context of the theorem is the following. It was known that if the map is only required to be continuous, then there is a large class of such maps. On the other hand, if \(F\) is \(C^k\) for \(k\geq N-n+1\), then there is a very small class of such maps; in particular, such maps must be holomorphic across the boundary.
