Abstract

Let M=X×YM=X\times Y be the product of two complex manifolds of positive dimensions. In this paper, we prove that there is no complete K\"ahler metric gg on MM such that: either (i) the holomorphic bisectional curvature of gg is bounded by a negative constant and the Ricci curvature is bounded below by C(1+r2)-C(1+r^2) where rr is the distance from a fixed point; or (ii) gg has nonpositive sectional curvature and the holomorphic bisectional curvature is bounded above by B(1+r2)δ-B(1+r^2)^{-\delta} and the Ricci curvature is bounded below by A(1+r2)γ-A(1+r^2)^\gamma where A,B,γ,δA, B, \gamma, \delta are positive constants with γ+2δ<1\gamma+2\delta<1. These are generalizations of some previous results, in particular the result of Seshadri and Zheng.
