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 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 answer a question asked recently by Banik in the negative by showing that for each $n\geq 2$, there exists a taut visibility domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$ that is not Kobayashi complete. The domains that we produce are bounded and have…

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…

Our goal here is to give a simple proof of the non integrable version of Brody's characterisation theorem.

In this paper, we prove the Kobayashi hyperbolicity of the coarse moduli spaces of canonically polarized or polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds in the sense of complex $V$-spaces (a generalization of complex $V$-manifolds in the sense of…

We present new completeness conditions for exponential systems on the complex plane in Banach algebras of continuous functions on a compact with a connected complement that are simultaneously holomorphic in the interior of this compact if…

A compact complex manifold is Kobayashi non-hyperbolic if there exists an entire curve on it. Using mirror symmetry we establish that there are (possibly singular) elliptic or rational curves on any Calabi-Yau manifold $X$, whose mirror…

In this paper we report our investigations on visibility with respect to the Kobayashi distance and its applications, with a special focus on planar domains. We prove that totally disconnected subsets of the boundary are removable in 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…

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…

In this paper we establish optimal solvability results, that is, maximal regularity theorems, for the Cauchy problem for linear parabolic differential equations of arbitrary order acting on sections of tensor bundles over boundaryless…

Let D be a smooth relatively compact and strictly J-pseudoconvex domain in a four dimensional almost complex manifold (M,J). We give sharp estimates of the Kobayashi metric. Our approach is based on an asymptotic quantitative description of…

This paper is concerned with the completeness (with respect to the centroaffine metric) of hyperbolic centroaffine hypersurfaces which are closed in the ambient vector space. We show that completeness holds under generic regularity…

We derive a necessary and sufficient condition on a hyperplane arrangement in $\mathbb{P}^n$ for the associated logarithmic cotangent bundle to be ample modulo boundary. We extend this result to the orbifold setting and give some…

A projective manifold $M$ is algebraically hyperbolic if there exists a positive constant $A$ such that the degree of any curve of genus $g$ on $M$ is bounded from above by $A(g-1)$. A classical result is that Kobayashi hyperbolicity…

This survey article mainly addresses to graduate students and young researchers in complex geometry willing to enter the beautiful word of connections between curvature and Kobayashi hyperbolicity. It is a detailed account of a recent…

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 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…

We prove that for a pseudoconvex domain of the form $\mathfrak{A} = \{(z, w) \in \mathbb C^2 : v > F(z, u)\}$, where $w = u + iv$ and F is a continuous function on ${\mathbb C}_z \times {\mathbb R}_u$, the following conditions are…
