Metrics on universal covering of projective variety

Algebraic Geometry 2014-12-31 v5 Complex Variables

Abstract

Let U be a universal covering of a connected nonsingular projective variety X with large and residually finite fundamental group. We construct metrics on U and provide another version of the uniformization theorem, namely: if the fundamental group of X is, in addition, nonamenable then U is a bounded Stein domain. The Appendix contains a proof of the Shafarevich conjecture provided the fundamental group is residually finite.
