We study a geometric property of the boundary on Hartogs domains which can be used to find upper and lower bounds for the Diederich-Forn{\ae}ss Index. Using this, we are able to show that under some reasonable hypotheses on the set of…
We study bounded pseudoconvex domains in complex Euclidean space. We define an index associated to the boundary and show this new index is equivalent to the Diederich-Forn{\ae}ss index defined in 1977. This connects the…
In this paper, we prove the semi-continuity theorem of Diederich-Forn{\ae}ss index and Steinness index under a smooth deformation of pseudoconvex domains in Stein manifolds.
We propose the concept of Diederich--Forn{\ae}ss and Steinness indices on compact pseudoconvex CR manifolds of hypersurface type in terms of the D'Angelo 1-form. When the CR manifold bounds a domain in a complex manifold, under certain…
We consider the relationship between two sufficient conditions for regularity of the Bergman Projection on smooth, bounded, pseudoconvex domains. We show that if the set of infinite type points is reasonably well-behaved, then the existence…
We show that the Diederich-Fornaess index of a domain in a Stein manifold is invariant under CR-diffeomorphisms. For this purpose we also improve CR-extension theorem.
The Diederich-Forn{\ae}ss worm domain, an important example of a smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domain without a Stein neighborhood basis, provides key counterexamples in the theory of Several Complex Variables. In this paper, we examine its…
Let D be a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain in C^n. We give several characterizations for the closure of D to have a strong Stein neighborhood basis in the sense that D has a defining function r such that {z\in C^n:r(z)<a} is pseudoconvex…
We study bounded pseudoconvex domains in complex Euclidean spaces. We find analytical necessary conditions and geometric sufficient conditions for a domain being of trivial Diederich--Forn\ae ss index (i.e. the index equals to 1). We also…
In this paper we construct a Stein neighborhood basis for any compact subvariety $A$ with strongly pseudoconvex boundary $bA$ and Stein interior $A\backslash bA$ in a complex space $X$. This is an extension of a well known theorem of Siu.…
Let D be a smoothly bounded domain in C^2. Suppose that D admits a smooth defining function which is plurisubharmonic on the boundary of D. Then the Diederich-Fornaess exponent can be chosen arbitrarily close to 1, and the closure of D…
The Diederich--Forn\ae ss index has been introduced since 1977 to classify bounded pseudoconvex domains. In this article, we derive several intrinsic, geometric conditions on boundary of domains for arbitrary indexes. Many results, in the…
Let D be a smoothly bounded domain in complex space of dimension larger than 2. Suppose that D admits a smooth defining function which is plurisubharmonic on the boundary of D. Then the Diederich-Fornaess exponent can be chosen arbitrarily…
The disc property is formulated for domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$. Holomorphic Lipschitz functions enjoy a gain in the order of Lipschitz regularity along the complex tangential direction on domains with disc property. Disc property is studied…
We show how to construct a class of smooth bounded pseudoconvex domains whose boundary contains a given Stein manifold with strongly pseudoconvex boundary, having a prescribed codimension and D'Angelo class (a cohomological invariant…
We show that if the closure of a smooth pseudoconvex domain admits a "sufficiently nice" Stein neighborhood basis, then the d-bar Neumann problem on the domain is globally regular.
We derive a sufficient condition on a bounded pseudoconvex domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}^2$ with smooth boundary such that $-(-\rho)^\eta$ is plurisubharmonic on $\Omega$ for $\eta>0$ arbitrarily close to $1$ (the supremum of $\eta$ is…
Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}^n$ be a bounded pseudoconvex domain. We define the Diederich-Forn{\ae}ss index with respect to a family of functions to be the supremum over the set of all exponents $0<\eta<1$ such that there exists a function…
In this note we establish a lower bound for the distance induced by the K\"ahler-Einstein metric on pseudoconvex domains with positive hyperconvexity index (e.g. positive Diederich-Fornaess index). A key step is proving an analog of the…
We construct new $3$-dimensional variants of the classical Diederich-Fornaess worm domain. We show that they are smoothly bounded, pseudoconvex, and have nontrivial Nebenh\"{u}lle. We also show that their Bergman projections do not preserve…
