Each homotopically homogeneous tube in has an affine-homogeneous base.
We establish a lower estimate for the Kobayashi-Royden infinitesimal pseudometric on an almost complex manifold admitting a bounded strictly plurisubharmonic function. We apply this result to study the boundary behaviour of the metric on a strictly pseudoconvex domain in and to give a sufficient condition for the complete hyperbolicity of a domain in .
We study effectively the Cartan geometry of Levi-nondegenerate C 6-smooth hypersurfaces M 3 in ℂ2. Notably, we present the so-called curvature function of a related Tanaka-type normal connection explicitly in terms of a graphing function for M, which is the initial, single available datum. Vanishing of this curvature function then characterizes explicitly the local biholomorphic equivalence of such M 3 ⊂ ℂ2 to the Heisenberg sphere ℍ3, such M’s being necessarily real analytic.
Let be a complex manifold, a generic submanifold of , the real underlying manifold to . Let be an open subset of with analytic, a complexification of . We first recall the notion of -tuboid of and of and then give a relation between; we then give the corresponding result in terms of microfunctions at the boundary. We relate the regularity at the boundary for to the extendability of functions on to -tuboids of . Next, if has complex dimension 2, we give results on extension...
