The Kobayashi pseudometric on a complex manifold is the maximal pseudometric such that any holomorphic map from the Poincar\'e disk to the manifold is distance-decreasing. Kobayashi has conjectured that this pseudometric vanishes on…
We define the Kobayashi quotient of a complex variety by identifying points with vanishing Kobayashi pseudodistance between them and show that if a compact complex manifold has an automorphism whose order is infinite, then the fibers of…
In this paper we define Kobayashi-Royden pseudonorm for almost complex manifolds. Its basic properties known from the complex analysis are preserved in the nonintegrable case as well. We prove that the pseudodistance induced by this…
In this paper we extend the notion of the Kobayashi-Royden pseudonorm for almost complex manifolds. Its basic properties known from the complex analysis are preserved in the nonintegrable case as well. The main theorem on coincidence of the…
We extend the definition of the Kobayashi pseudodistance to almost complex manifolds and show that its familliar properties are for the most part preserved. We also study the automorphism group of an almost complex manifold and finish with…
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 generalize the Kobayashi pseudo-distance to complex manifolds which admit holomorphic bracket generating distributions. The generalization is based on Chow's theorem in sub-Riemannian geometry. Let G be a linear semisimple…
We study the Kobayashi pseudodistance for orbifolds, proving an orbifold version of Brody's theorem and classifying which one-dimensional orbifolds are hyperbolic.
In this article, we prove localization results for the Kobayashi distance of Kobayashi hyperbolic domains with local visibility property in $\mathbb{C}^d$, $d \geq 1$. This is done by proving a localization result for the Kobayashi-Royden…
In this paper we give an local estimate for the Kobayashi distance on a bounded convex domain of finite type, which relates to a local pseudodistance near the boundary. The estimate is precise up to a bounded additive term. Also we conclude…
We prove an analogue of the Brody lemma in the framework of Riemannian manifolds. We also present new examples of Riemannian manifolds that are hyperbolic in the sense of Kobayashi.
This is a sequel to "Kodaira-Saito vanishing via Higgs bundles in positive characteristic" (arXiv:1611.09880). However, unlike the previous paper, all the arguments here are in characteristic zero. The main result is a Kodaira vanishing…
We provide a sufficient condition for the continuous extension of isometries for the Kobayashi distance between bounded convex domains in complex Euclidean spaces having boundaries that are only slightly more regular than $\mathcal{C}^1$.…
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 simplify proof of the theorem that close to any pseudoholomorphic disk there passes a pseudoholomorphic disk of arbitrary close size with any pre-described sufficiently close direction. We apply these results to the Kobayashi and Hanh…
Recently, the visibility property of Kobayashi (almost) geodesics has been used to provide localizations of the Kobayashi distance. In this note, we provide sufficient growth conditions for the Kobayashi distance to obtain new strong…
We establish a lower estimate for the Kobayashi-Royden infinitesimal pseudometric on an almost complex manifold $(M,J)$ admitting a bounded strictly plurisubharmonic function. We apply this result to study the boundary behaviour of the…
Junyan Cao has obtained a very general vanishing theorem, valid on any compact K\"ahler manifold, for the cohomology groups with values in a pseudoeffective line bundle twisted by the associated multiplier ideal sheaf. In this note, we give…
It is shown that the optimal upper and lower bounds for the Kobayashi distance near $\mathcal C^{2,\alpha}$-smooth strongly pseudoconvex boundary points obtained in L. Kosinski, N. Nikolov, A.Y. Okten: "Precise estimates of invariant…
We discuss a possible approach to the study of the vanishing of the Kobayashi pseudometric of a projective variety X, using chains of rational or elliptic curves contained in an arbitrarily small neighborhood of X in projective space for…
