Abstract

For n2n\geq 2, let ΓSU((n,1),OK)\Gamma\subset \mathrm{SU}((n,1),\mathcal{O}_{K}) be a torsion-free, finite-index subgroup, where OK\mathcal{O}_K denotes the ring of integers of a totally imaginary number field KK of degree 22. Let Bn\mathbb{B}^n denote the nn-dimensional complex ball endowed with the hyperbolic metric, and let XΓ:=Γ\BnX_{\Gamma}:=\Gamma\backslash \mathbb{B}^n denote the quotient space. Furthermore, let μhypvol\mu_{\mathrm{hyp}}^{\mathrm{vol}} denote the volume form associated to the hyperbolic metric. Let Λ:=ΩXΓn\Lambda:=\Omega_{\overline{X}_{\Gamma}}^{n} denote the line bundle, where XΓ:=XΓ{}\overline{X}_{\Gamma}:=X_{\Gamma}\cup\lbrace \infty\rbrace. For any k1k\geq 1, let λk:=ΛkOXΓ((k1))\lambda^{k}:=\Lambda^{\otimes k}\otimes O_{\overline{X}_{\Gamma}}((k-1)\infty). For any k1k\geq 1, the hyperbolic metric induces a point-wise metric on H0(XΓ,λk)H^{0}(\overline{X}_{\Gamma},\lambda^{k}). For any k1k\geq 1, let BXΓλk\mathcal{B}_{X_{\Gamma}}^{\lambda^{k}} denote the Bergman kernel associated H0(XΓ,λk)H^{0}(\overline{X}_{\Gamma},\lambda^{k}). Then, for k1k\gg1, the first main result of the article, is the following estimate supzXΓBXΓλk(z,z)hyp=OXΓ(kn+1/2). \sup_{z\in \overline{X}_{\Gamma}}\big|\mathcal{B}_{X_{\Gamma}}^{\lambda^{k}}(z,z)\big|_{\mathrm{hyp}}=O_{X_{\Gamma}}(k^{n+1/2}). For any k1k\geq 1, and zXΓz\in X_{\Gamma}, let μBer,k(z)\mu_{\mathrm{Ber},k}(z) denote the Bergman metric associated to the line bundle λk\lambda^{ k}, and let μber,kvol\mu_{\mathrm{ber},k}^{\mathrm{vol}} denote the associated volume form. Then, for k1k\gg1, the second main result of the article is the following estimate supzXΓμBer,kvol(z)μhypvol(z)=OXΓ(k2(n1)(n+1)+n+3). \sup_{z\in \overline{X}_{\Gamma}}\bigg|\frac{\mu_{\mathrm{Ber},k}^{\mathrm{vol}}(z)}{\mu_{\mathrm{hyp}}^{\mathrm{vol}}(z)}\bigg|=O_{X_{\Gamma}}\big(k^{2(n-1)(n+1)+n+3} \big). Our estimate for the Bergman metric completes our arguments and corrects our estimate from arXiv:2305.11609, for n=1n=1.
