Balls defined by nonsmooth vector fields and the Poincaré inequality
We provide a structure theorem for Carnot-Carathéodory balls defined by a family of Lipschitz continuous vector fields. From this result a proof of Poincaré inequality follows.

It is shown that given a bounded strictly convex domain in with real analitic boundary and a point in , there exists a larger bounded strictly convex domain with real analitic boundary, close as wished to , such that is a ball for the Kobayashi distance of with center . The result is applied to prove that if is not biholomorphic to the ball then any automorphism of extends to an automorphism of .
The behaviour of the Carathéodory, Kobayashi and Azukawa metrics near convex boundary points of domains in is studied.
We give an equivalent condition for Bergman completeness of Zalcman type domains. This also solves a problem stated by Pflug.
We introduce the notion of the Shilov boundary for some subfamilies of upper semicontinuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space. It is by definition the smallest closed subset of the given space on which all functions of that subclass attain their maximum. For certain subfamilies with simple structure we show the existence and uniqueness of the Shilov boundary. We provide its relation to the set of peak points and establish Bishop-type theorems. As an application we obtain a generalization of...
In questa Nota viene studiato il comportamento al bordo delle distanze di Carathéodory e Kobayashi in domini fortemente pseudoconvessi di classe . Come applicazione si dimostra che ogni geodetica complessa in tali domini è estendibile al bordo di classe .
