In this paper, we study the holomorphicity of totally geodesic Kobayashi isometric embeddings between bounded symmetric domains. First we show that for a $C^1$-smooth totally geodesic Kobayashi isometric embedding $f\colon \Omega\to\Omega'$…

This paper shows that every totally-geodesic isometry from the unit disk to a finite-dimensional Teichm\"uller space for the intrinsic Kobayashi metric is either holomorphic or anti-holomorphic; in particular, it is a Teichm\"uller disk.…

We show the (anti)holomorphicity of smooth Kobayashi isometries of the diamond, the domain defined as $\triangle:=\{z\in\mathbb C^2:|z_1|+|z_2|<1\}$. Additionally, we discuss the problem of uniqueness of real geodesics, left inverses and…

In this paper, we characterize $C^2$-smooth totally geodesic isometric embeddings $f\colon \Omega\to\Omega'$ between bounded symmetric domains $\Omega$ and $\Omega'$ which extend $C^1$-smoothly over some open subset in the Shilov boundaries…

We show that two smoothly bounded, strongly pseudoconvex domains which are diffeomorphic may be smoothly deformed into each other, with all intermediate domains being strongly pseudoconvex. This result relates to Lempert's ideas about…

Consider a holomorphic map $F: D \to G$ between two domains in ${\mathbb C}^N$. Let $\mathcal F$ denote a family of geodesics for the Kobayashi distance, such that $F$ acts as an isometry on each element of $\mathcal F$. This paper is…

In this article, we study the Kobayashi isometries of 2-dimensional complex manifolds having a finite Carath\'eodory universal set. In particular, we prove that the Kobayashi isometries of these complex manifolds are (anti)holomorphic.

We study proper holomorphic maps between bounded symmetric domains $D$ and $\Omega$. In particular, when $D$ and $\Omega$ are of the same rank $\ge 2$ such that all irreducible factors of $D$ are of rank $\ge 2$, we prove that any proper…

Let $(\Omega,K_{\Omega})$ be a convex domain in $\mathbb C^d$ with the Kobayashi metric $K_{\Omega}$. In this paper we prove that $m$-convexity is a necessary condition for $(\Omega, K_{\Omega})$ to be CAT(0) if $d=2$. Moreover, when…

In this paper we consider the following question: For bounded domains with smooth boundary, can strong pseudoconvexity be characterized in terms of the intrinsic complex geometry of the domain? Our approach to answering this question is…

We show that each pseudoconvex domain $\Omega\subset {\mathbb C}^n$ admits a holomorphic map $F$ to ${\mathbb C}^m$ with $|F|\le C_1 e^{C_2 \hat{\delta}^{-6}}$, where $\hat{\delta}$ is the minimum of the boundary distance and…

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.

In this paper we study the global geometry of the Kobayashi metric on "convex" sets. We provide new examples of non-Gromov hyperbolic domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$ of many kinds: pseudoconvex and non-pseudocon \newline -vex, bounded and…

We show that on convex domains with sufficiently smooth boundary the limit set of non-visible Kobayashi geodesics are contained in a complex face. In two dimensions, this implies the existence of a complex tangential line segment of…

Let $\1$ and $\2$ be $\s$ domains in $\Cn$ and $f: \1 \rt \2$ an isometry for the Kobayashi or Carath\'eodory metrics. Suppose that $f$ extends as a $C^1$ map to $ \bar \om_1$. We then prove that $f|_{\partial \1}: \partial \1 \rt \partial…

This article considers isometries of the Kobayashi and Carath\'{e}od-ory metrics on domains in $ \mathbf{C}^n $ and the extent to which they behave like holomorphic mappings. First we prove a metric version of Poincar\'{e}'s theorem about…

Assume that $D\subset \R^2$ is a strictly convex domain with $C^2-$smooth boundary. {\bf Theorem.} {\em If $\int_De^{ix}y^ndxdy=0$ for all sufficiently large $n$, then $D$ is a disc.}

We prove that if a holomorphic self-map $f\colon \Omega\to \Omega$ of a bounded strongly convex domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb C^q$ with smooth boundary is hyperbolic then it admits a natural semi-conjugacy with a hyperbolic automorphism of…

We prove that for a strongly pseudoconvex domain $D\subset\mathbb C^n$, the infinitesimal Carath\'eodory metric $g_C(z,v)$ and the infinitesimal Kobayashi metric $g_K(z,v)$ coincide if $z$ is sufficiently close to $bD$ and if $v$ is…
