Higher-Dimensional Analogues of Inoue-Hirzebruch Surfaces.
The authors are dealing with the Dirichlet integral-type biholomorphic-invariant pseudodistance introduced by Dolbeault and Ławrynowicz (1989) in connection with bordered holomorphic chains of dimension one. Several properties of the related hyperbolic-like manifolds are considered remarking the analogies with and differences from the familiar hyperbolic and Stein manifolds. Likewise several examples are treated in detail.
