A Hermitian metric on hyperbolic complex manifolds

Complex Variables 2025-05-22 v1

Abstract

We describe a method of defining a Hermitian metric on Kobayashi hyperbolic manifolds. The metric is distance decreasing under holomorphic mappings, up to a multiplicative constant. This method is distinct from the classical construction of Wu, and yields a metric which is expected to have superior regularity properties.
