Abstract

This paper studies Fefferman's program \cite{F3} of expressing the singularity of the Bergman kernel, for smoothly bounded strictly pseudoconvex domains Ω\Cn\Omega\subset\C^n, in terms of local biholomorphic invariants of the boundary. By \cite{F1}, the Bergman kernel on the diagonal K(z,z¸)K(z,\c{z}) is written in the form K=ϕrn1+ψlogr\qtextwithϕ,ψC(Ω¸), K=\phi r^{-n-1}+\psi \log r \qtext{with} \phi,\psi\in C^\infty(\c\Omega), where rr is a (smooth) defining function of Ω\Omega. Recently, Bailey, Eastwood and Graham \cite{BEG}, building on Fefferman's earlier work \cite{F3}, obtained a full invariant expression of the strong singularity ϕrn1\phi r^{-n-1}. The purpose of this paper is to give a full invariant expression of the weak singularity ψlogr\psi\log r.
