Oka' s inequality for currents and applications.
We prove (Theorem 1.2) that the category of generalized holomorphically contractible families (Definition 1.1) has maximal and minimal objects. Moreover, we present basic properties of these extremal families.
Using a generalization of [Pol] we present a description of complex geodesics in arbitrary complex ellipsoids.
It is shown that under certain conditions every holomorphic isometry for the Carathéodory or the Kobayashi distances is an isometry for the corrisponding metrics. These results are used to give a characterization of biholomorphic mappings between convex domains and complete circular domains.
Let and be domains in and an isometry for the Kobayashi or Carathéodory metrics. Suppose that extends as a map to . We then prove that is a CR or anti-CR diffeomorphism. It follows that and must be biholomorphic or anti-biholomorphic.
This article considers C¹-smooth isometries of the Kobayashi and Carathéodory metrics on domains in ℂⁿ and the extent to which they behave like holomorphic mappings. First we provide an example which suggests that 𝔹ⁿ cannot be mapped isometrically onto a product domain. In addition, we prove several results on continuous extension of C⁰-isometries f : D₁ → D₂ to the closures under purely local assumptions on the boundaries. As an application, we show that there is no C⁰-isometry between a strongly...
We show that the converse of the aproximation theorem of Andreotti and Grauert does not hold. More precisely we construct a -complete open subset (which is an analytic complement in the unit ball) such that the restriction map has a dense image for every but the pair is not a -Runge pair.
We show that in the class of complex ellipsoids the symmetry of the pluricomplex Green function is equivalent to convexity of the ellipsoid.
Let P be a real-valued and weighted homogeneous plurisubharmonic polynomial in and let D denote the “model domain” z ∈ ℂⁿ | r(z):= Re z₁ + P(z’) < 0. We prove a lower estimate on the Bergman distance of D if P is assumed to be strongly plurisubharmonic away from the coordinate axes.
We characterize intrinsically two classes of manifolds that can be properly embedded into spaces of the form . The first theorem is a compactification theorem for pseudoconcave manifolds that can be realized as where is a projective variety. The second theorem is an embedding theorem for holomorphically convex manifolds into .
