We show an analogue of continued fractions in approximation to irrational numbers by rationals for Nevanlinna theory. The analogue is a sequence of points in the complex plane which approaches a given finite set of points and at a given rate in the sense of Nevanlinna theory. 0. Introduction Since P. Vojta [17] created a dictionary between Nevanlinna theory and Diophantine approximation theory,...

This note states a conjecture for Nevanlinna theory or diophantine approximation, with a sheaf of ideals in place of the normal crossings divisor. This is done by using a correction term involving a multiplier ideal sheaf. This new conjecture trivially implies earlier conjectures in Nevanlinna theory or diophantine approximation, and in fact is equivalent to these conjectures. Although it does ...

Analogies between the Nevanlinna theory and the theory of heights in number theory have motivated to the determination the precise error term of the second fundamental theorem of the Nevanlinna theory. The Nevanlinna secondary deeciency, introduced by P.M. Wong, gives the error term in a certain sense. We rst prove that, from a topological point of view, almost all meromorphic functions have se...

In the early 1950’s, M. G. Krein characterized the entire functions that are an entry of some Nevanlinna matrix, and the pairs of entire functions that are a row of some Nevanlinna matrix. In connection with Pontryagin space versions of Krein’s theory of entire operators and de Branges’ theory of Hilbert spaces of entire functions, an indefinite analog of the Nevanlinna matrices plays a role. I...

The Nevanlinna defect relation and other results on the Nevanlinna theory assert that each meromorphic mapping f of C into P(C) has few deficient hyperplanes in P(C) . However, it seems to me that meromorphic mappings with a deficient hyperplane must be very few. In this paper, we show that for an arbitrary given transcendental meromorphic mapping f (which may be linearly degenerate), we can el...

the purpose of this article is to investigate the uniqueness of meromorphic functions sharing five small functions on annuli.

We describe some results of value distribution theory of holomorphic curves and quasiregular maps, which are obtained using potential theory. Among the results discussed are: extensions of Picard’s theorems to quasiregular maps between Riemannian manifolds, a version of the Second Main Theorem of Nevanlinna for curves in projective space and non-linear divisors, description of extremal function...

Value distribution of a rational function f is controlled by its degree d, which is the number of preimages of a generic point. If we denote by n(a) the number of solutions of the equation f(z) = a, counting multiplicity, in the complex plane C, then n(a) ≤ d for all a ∈ C with equality for all a with one exception, namely a = f(∞). The number of critical points of f in C, counting multiplicity...

The theory of Nevanlinna-Pick and Carathéodory-Fejér interpolation for matrixand operator-valued Schur class functions on the unit disk is now well established. Recent work has produced extensions of the theory to a variety of multivariable settings, including the ball and the polydisk (both commutative and noncommutative versions), as well as a time-varying analogue. Largely independent of thi...

The Krĕın-Langer integral representation of a matrix-valued generalized Nevanlinna function arises in problems of spectral theory and interpolation. A version of this formula which is suitable for such problems, and a corresponding Stieltjes inversion formula, are derived. Some classes of generalized Nevanlinna functions which are defined in terms of behavior at infinity are characterized in te...
