Abstract

We prove a new off-diagonal asymptotic of the Bergman kernels associated to tensor powers of a positive line bundle on a compact K\"ahler manifold. We show that if the K\"ahler potential is real analytic, then the Bergman kernel accepts a complete asymptotic expansion in a neighborhood of the diagonal of shrinking size k14k^{-\frac14}. These improve the earlier results in the subject for smooth potentials, where an expansion exists in a k12k^{-\frac12} neighborhood of the diagonal. We obtain our results by finding upper bounds of the form Cmm!2C^m m!^{2} for the Bergman coefficients bm(x,yˉ)b_m(x, \bar y), which is an interesting problem on its own. We find such upper bounds using the method of Berman-Berndtsson-Sj\"ostrand. We also show that sharpening these upper bounds would improve the rate of shrinking neighborhoods of the diagonal x=yx=y in our results. In the special case of metrics with local constant holomorphic sectional curvatures, we obtain off-diagonal asymptotic in a fixed (as kk \to \infty) neighborhood of the diagonal, which recovers a result of Berman [Ber] (see Remark 3.5 of [Ber] for higher dimensions). In this case, we also find an explicit formula for the Bergman kernel mod O(ekδ)O(e^{-k \delta} ).
