We show that if the Kobayashi--Royden metric of a complex manifold is continuous and positive at a given point and any non-zero tangent vector, then the "derivatives" of the higher order Lempert functions exist and equal the respective…
Some results on the discontinuity properties of the Lempert function and the Kobayashi pseudometric in the spectral ball are given.
We show some lower estimates for the Kobayashi-Royden metric on a class of smooth bounded pseudoconvex domains.
It is shown that a lower bound of the Kobayashi metric of convex domains in C^n does not hold for non-convex domains.
In this paper, we construct a pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb C^3$ where the Kobayashi metric does not blow up at a rate of one over distance to the boundary in the normal direction.
Studying the behavior of real and complex geodesics we provide sharp estimates for the Kobayashi distance, the Lempert function, and the Carath\'eodory distance on $\mathcal{C}^{2,\alpha}$-smooth strongly pseudoconvex domains. Similar…
In the paper we show that the Lempert theorem (i.e. the equality between the Lempert function and the Carath\'eodory distance) holds in the tetrablock, a bounded hyperconvex domain which is not biholomorphic to a convex domain.
We describe a family of smooth contractible algebraic surfaces $X$ different from $\C^2$ such that $X$ admits dominant holomorphic maps from $\C^2$ and there is a unique line $E$ in $X$ for which the Kobayashi-Royden pseudometric vanishes…
In this paper we introduce a new class of domains -- log-type convex domains, which have no boundary regularity assumptions. Then we will localize the Kobayashi metric in log-type convex subdomains. As an application, we prove a local…
We give a description (direct formulas) of all complex geodesics in a convex tube domain in $\CC^n$ containing no complex affine lines, expressed in terms of geometric properties of the domain. We next apply that result to give formulas (a…
We show that Worm domains are not Gromov hyperbolic with respect to the Kobayashi distance.
It is known that the exponential transform of a quadrature domain is a rational function for which the denominator has a certain separable form. In the present paper we show that the exponential transform of lemniscate domains in general…
We study the boundary behavior of the Kobayashi--Fuks metric on the class of h-extendible domains. Here, we derive the non-tangential boundary asymptotics of the Kobayashi--Fuks metric and its Riemannian volume element by the help of some…
We extend the upper estimates obtained by M. Carlehed and B.-Y. Chen about the ratio of the classical and pluricomplex Green functions to the case of $\mathcal C^2$-smooth locally $\mathbb C$-convexifiable domains of finite type. We also…
The (unbounded version of the) Lempert function $l_D$ on a domain $D\subset\Bbb C^d$ does not usually satisfy the triangle inequality, but on bounded $\mathcal C^2$-smooth strictly pseudoconvex domains, it satisfies a quasi triangle…
We deliver examples of non-Gromov hyperbolic tube domains with convex bases (equipped with the Kobayashi distance). This is shown by providing a criterion on non-Gromov hyperbolicity of (non-smooth) domains.The results show the similarity…
We construct an unbounded strictly pseudoconvex Kobayashi hyperbolic and complete domain in $\mathbb{C}^2$, which also possesses complete Bergman metric, but has no nonconstant bounded holomorphic functions.
We show that the Kobayashi pseudometric is well-behaved under resolution of log-terminal singularities. This answers a question of Kamenova and Lehn.
The Takagi function is a classical example of a continuous nowhere differentiable function. In this paper we prove that it is nowhere approximately derivable.
It is shown that the Carath\'eodory distance and the Lempert function are almost the same on any strongly pseudoconvex domain in $\C^n;$ in addition, if the boundary is $C^{2+\eps}$-smooth, then $\sqrt{n+1}$ times one of them almost…
