PART 1. Tree groups of results that may have a significant impact on mathematics.
PART 1, Item 1. On a big gap in mathematics and studies of Gamma-lines and level sets. Studies of zeros of real and complex functions f(z) of one variable constitute an essential part of real and complex analysis. In the complex analysis, these notions are studied in classical Nevanlinna-Ahlfors theories <cite>Nev</cite> as well as for a huge number of particular classes of functions. It is quite explainable: zeros, more generally a-points of f(x), play an important role in mathematics and admit some important physical interpretations.
Taking this into account, we have a completely inexplicable situation for functions u(x,y) of two real variables.
The zeros of u(x,y), that is, the solutions u(x,y)=0, are levels of functions u(x,y) that denote important concepts in many applied sciences, so one might expect that they should have been studied in detail. Meanwhile, the real situation is almost the opposite. Level sets in mathematics have been studied very little. Since level sets are mainly curves, their investigation must primarily involve consideration of length, curvature, and the number of connecting components.
The length of level sets was first studied in the frame of Gamma-lines <cite>Bars2002Book</cite> for imaginary parts of meromorphic functions. At present this topic is counted usually as a theory of Gamma-lines, see, for instance, «MathSciNet» , review MR2002433 (2005f:30001) related to my book [BarsBook2002] published in 2002.
Solutions of equations u(x,y)=0 (more generally u(x,y)=const) arise very often in pure and applied mathematics. Remember that the level sets of u-A admit a lot of interpretations (streaming line, potential line, isobar, isoterm) in different applied fields of engineering, physics, environmental problems etc. Notice that in "non degenerating cases" these solutions are some curves. In the case u(x,y) is a polynomial in two variables P(x,y) the solutions P(x,y)=const were studied very largely in the frame of Hilbert's problem 16, part 1; namely problem was to give bounds for the number of connected components of the solutions As to other geometric aspects of the solutions P(x,y)=const they were almost non touched. Also, till end of 1970s, we have no any study related to level sets of any large class of real functions u(x,y), even harmonic functions or more generally functions Rew or |w|. This was a big gap since solutions of Rew=A∈(-∞,∞), or of |w|=R∈(0,∞), have important interpretations in different applied sciences.
At present, we obtain similar results for arbitrary smooth enough real functions of two variables, see in <cite>BarsSuk2004</cite> and <cite>Bars2008</cite>.
Thus, studies of Gamma-lines enlarge the applicability of complex analysis (where, just a-points of functions w(z), i.e. solutions of w(z)=a, were studied before). Respectively studies of level sets of real functions open perspectives for considerations of numerous physical and other processes in many applied sciences.
(2) The idea of complex conjugacy transferring many studies in complex analysis into differential geometry.
(3) Some (more than 20) new principles related to the basic consepts in mathematics.
On some new principles and trends.
The results of a general nature related to basic concepts in mathematics (usually referred as principles) were established mostly before 20th century and quite few in 20th century. We mean here primarily such a basic concepts as arbitrary enough smooth real functions of one and two variables, plane curves and surfaces in R³, arbitrary meromorphic (particularly analytic) functions in a given domain.
