Volume renormalization for complete Einstein--K\"ahler metrics

Differential Geometry 2011-11-10 v2

Abstract

For a strictly pseudoconvex domain in a complex manifold we define a renormalized volume with respect to the approximately Einstein complete K\"ahler metric of Fefferman. We compute the conformal anomaly in complex dimension two and apply the result to derive a renormalized Chern--Gauss--Bonnet formula. Relations between renormalized volume and the CR QQ-curvature are also investigated.
