Abstract

We prove that Kobayashi isometries between strongly convex domains are holomorphic or anti-holomorphic. More precisely, let n1,n2n_1, n_2 be positive integers and let Ωi\Cni, i=1,2\Omega_i \subset \C^{n_i}, \ i=1,2, be bounded C3C^3 strongly convex domains. If ϕ:(Ω1,dΩ1K)(Ω2,dΩ2K)\phi: (\Omega_1, d^K_{\Omega_1}) \rightarrow (\Omega_2, d^K_{\Omega_2}) is an isometry, i.e. d^K_\Omega_{n_2}(f(\zeta),f(\eta)) = d^K_{n_1} (\zeta,\eta) for all ζ,ηΩ1,\zeta,\eta \in \Omega_1, then ϕ\phi is either holomorphic or anti-holomorphic.
