Kobayashi pseudometric on hyperkahler manifolds
Abstract
The Kobayashi pseudometric on a complex manifold is the maximal pseudometric such that any holomorphic map from the Poincar\'e disk to the manifold is distance-decreasing. Kobayashi has conjectured that this pseudometric vanishes on Calabi-Yau manifolds. Using ergodicity of complex structures, we prove this conjecture for any hyperk\"ahler manifold that admits a deformation with two Lagrangian fibrations and whose Picard rank is not maximal. The Strominger-Yau-Zaslow (SYZ) conjecture claims that parabolic nef line bundles on hyperk\"ahler manifolds are semi-ample. We prove that the Kobayashi pseudometric vanishes for any hyperk\"ahler manifold with if the SYZ conjecture holds for all its deformations. This proves the Kobayashi conjecture for all K3 surfaces and their Hilbert schemes.
