Extremal length in higher dimensions and complex systolic inequalities

Complex Variables 2020-06-26 v4 Differential Geometry

Abstract

Extremal length is a classical tool in 1-dimensional complex analysis for building conformal invariants. We propose a higher-dimensional generalization for complex manifolds and provide some ideas on how to estimate and calculate it. We also show how to formulate certain natural geometric inequalities concerning moduli spaces in terms of a complex analogue of the classical Riemannian notion of systole.
