In this paper, we prove that a spirallike circularlike domain is Kobayashi hyperbolic if and only if its core is empty. In particular, we show that such a domain is Kobayashi hyperbolic if and only if it is (biholomorphic to) a bounded…

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 construct families of convex domains that are biholomorphic to bounded domains, but not bounded convex domains. This is accomplished by finding an obstruction related to the Gromov hyperbolicity of the Kobayashi metric.

We give a necessary complex geometric condition for a bounded smooth convex domain in Cn, endowed with the Kobayashi distance, to be Gromov hyperbolic. More precisely, we prove that if a smooth bounded convex domain contains an analytic…

This note concerns tube domains in ${\mathbb C}^2$ with the envelope of holomorphy not equal to the entire space. We construct examples showing that for such domains the sufficient condition for Kobayashi hyperbolicity due to M. Jarnicki…

The lack of a uniformization theorem in several complex variables leads to a desire to classify all of the simply connected domains. We use established computational methods and a localization technique to generalize a recently-published…

In this paper, we give sufficient conditions for Cauchy-completeness of Kobayashi hyperbolic domains in complex manifolds. The first result gives a sufficient condition for completeness for relatively compact domains in several large…

The second named author and David Kalaj introduced a pseudometric on any domain in the real Euclidean space $\mathbb R^n$, $n\ge 3$, defined in terms of conformal harmonic discs, by analogy with Kobayashi's pseudometric on complex…

We give an explicit lower bound, in terms of the distance from the boundary, for the Kobayashi metric of a certain class of bounded pseudoconvex domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$ with $\mathcal{C}^2$-smooth boundary using the regularity theory for…

We provide several equivalent characterizations of Kobayashi hyperbolicity in unbounded convex domains in terms of peak and anti-peak functions at infinity, affine lines, Bergman metric and iteration theory.

In this paper we prove necessary and sufficient conditions for the Kobayashi metric on a convex domain to be Gromov hyperbolic. In particular we show that for convex domains with $C^\infty$ boundary being of finite type in the sense of…

In this paper we study the global geometry of the Kobayashi metric on domains in complex Euclidean space. We are particularly interested in developing necessary and sufficient conditions for the Kobayashi metric to be Gromov hyperbolic. For…

In this paper we study when the Kobayashi distance on a Kobayashi hyperbolic domain has certain visibility properties, with a focus on unbounded domains. "Visibility" in this context is reminiscent of visibility, seen in negatively curved…

Let $M$ be a complex manifold which admits an exhaustion by open subsets $M_j$ each of which is biholomorphic to a fixed domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb C^n$. The main question addressed here is to describe $M$ in terms of $\Omega$. Building…

We explore the horofunction compactification of complete hyperbolic domains in complex Euclidean space equipped with the Kobayashi distance. We provide a sufficient condition under which, given a domain $\Omega$ as above, the identity map…

We give two new elementary proofs of the complete Kobayashi hyperbolicity of the twice-punctured complex plane. We also present an extremely short proof that bounded domains are complete Kobayashi hyperbolic. Our proofs rely neither on the…

In this paper, finite type domains with hyperbolic orbit accumulation points are studied. We prove, in case of $\mathbb{C}^2$, it has to be a (global) pseudoconvex domain, after an assumption of boundary regularity. Moreover, one of the…

We introduce the notion of locally visible and locally Gromov hyperbolic domains in $\mathbb C^d$. We prove that a bounded domain in $\mathbb C^d$ is locally visible and locally Gromov hyperbolic if and only if it is (globally) visible and…

In an earlier article the second author introduced three families of tube domains in ${\mathbf C}^2$ with holomorphic automorphism group isomorphic to ${\mathbf R}\ltimes{\mathbf R}^2$ and envelope of holomorphy equal to ${\mathbf C}^2$. In…

It was conjectured by Lang that a complex projective manifold is Kobayashi hyperbolic if and only if it is of general type together with all of its subvarieties. We verify this conjecture for projective manifolds whose universal cover…
