Overview

Abstract

Let X be a smooth contractible affine hypersurface of complex dimension n >= 2 with the holomorphic density property. We prove that X times C^n is biholomorphic to C^(2n). A finite monic projection replaces the proper-embedding parameter in Huang’s stabilization construction, retaining colliding fibers as curvilinear finite schemes. Stratified Oka interpolation and parametric Andersén-Lempert approximation yield compact capture in a fixed Runge Euclidean basin. Applications include McLean’s varieties and the Koras-Russell cubic. The sufficient ambient dimensions in specified nonlinearizable-action constructions are lowered by one, including disconnected cyclic fixed loci in C^6 and a fixed contractible non-Euclidean surface in C^8.

Scope of the work

Let X be a smooth contractible affine hypersurface of complex dimension n >= 2 with the holomorphic density property. We prove that X times C^n is biholomorphic to C^(2n). A finite monic projection replaces the proper-embedding parameter in Huang’s stabilization construction, retaining colliding fibers as curvilinear finite schemes. Stratified Oka interpolation and parametric Andersén-Lempert approximation yield compact capture in a fixed Runge Euclidean basin. Applications include McLean’s varieties and the Koras-Russell cubic. The sufficient ambient dimensions in specified nonlinearizable-action constructions are lowered by one, including disconnected cyclic fixed loci in C^6 and a fixed contractible non-Euclidean surface in C^8.

Reproduction notes

The exact publication package includes the 9-page manuscript, editable LaTeX sources, reader/build instructions, citation metadata, public checksums and any necessary mathematical or computational supplements. Keep its 6 members together and follow the included README for dependencies, build commands and any finite verification programs. Published finite checks support the stated arguments; they do not replace universal analytic proofs or establish external human refereeing.
