Holomorphic families of Fatou-Bieberbach domains and applications to Oka manifolds (Q1996413)

A Fatou-Bieberbach domain in \(\mathbb{C}^n\) is a proper subdomain which is biholomorphic to \(\mathbb{C}^n\) No such domains exists for \(n=1\), but there are many of them for any \(n\geq 2\). In the paper under review, the authors construct, for any \(n\geq 2\), holomorphically varying families of Fatou-Bieberbach domains with given centres in the complement of any compact polynomially convex subset \(K\) of \(\mathbb{C}^n\). This gives a simple proof of the fact that the complement in \(\mathbb{C}^n\) of any polynomially convex subset \(K\) of \(\mathbb{C}^n\) is an Oka manifold. The last result is due to \textit{Y. Kusakabe}, see [``Oka properties of complements of holomorphically convex sets'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:2005.08247}]. We recall here that a complex manifold \(Y\) is said to be an Oka manifold if every holomorphic map from a neigborhood of a compact (geometrically) convex set \(L\) in a Euclidean space \(\mathbb{C}^n\) into \(Y\) is a uniform limit on \(L\) of entire maps \(\mathbb{C}^n\to Y\). The authors in the paper under review also obtain an analogous statement with \(\mathbb{C}^n\) replaced by an arbitrary Stein manifold with the density property.
