Abstract

The paper is devoted to the study of necessary and sufficient topological conditions for an embedded real surface to lie in a strictly pseudoconvex domain on a complex surface. These results are used to construct Stein domains on algebraic manifolds and to describe envelopes of holomorphy of real surfaces in ℂP 2 and in some other complex surfaces.
