No label defined (Q3976253)

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0732.00007.] The author defines the notion of linear regularity for a smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domain in \(\mathbb{C}^ n\) and shows that bounded convex domains with real-analytic boundary are linearly regular. The author uses linear regularity as an obstruction to show that Fornaess' real-analytic ``worm'' domain \(\Omega\) can not be made convex globally in the sense that there exists no proper holomorphic embedding, extending smoothly to the boundary, of \(\Omega\) into a bounded convex domain with real-analytic boundary. He shows explicitly that locally \(\Omega\) can be made convex by a holomorphic change of coordinates.
