It is shown that the Carath\'eodory distance and the Lempert function are almost the same on any strongly pseudoconvex domain in $\C^n;$ in addition, if the boundary is $C^{2+\eps}$-smooth, then $\sqrt{n+1}$ times one of them almost…
Comparison and localization results for the Lempert function, the Carath\'eodory distance and their infinitesimal forms on strongly pseudoconvex domains are obtained. Related results for visible and strongly complete domains are proved.
We give a parameter version of Graham-Kerzman approximation theorem for bounded holomorphic functions on strictly pseudoconvex domains. As an application, we present some uniform estimates for the boundary behaviour of the Kobayashi and…
We extend the upper estimates obtained by M. Carlehed and B.-Y. Chen about the ratio of the classical and pluricomplex Green functions to the case of $\mathcal C^2$-smooth locally $\mathbb C$-convexifiable domains of finite type. We also…
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…
Let $D \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ be a smoothly bounded pseudoconvex Levi corank one domain with defining function $r$, i.e., the Levi form $\partial \bar {\partial} r$ of the boundary $\partial D$ has at least $(n - 2)$ positive eigenvalues…
Precise behavior of the Caratheodory, Kobayashi and Bergman metrics and distances near smooth boundary points of domains in C is found under different assumptions of regularity.
It is proved for a strongly pseudoconvex domain $D$ in $\Bbb C^d$ with $\mathcal C^{2,\alpha}$-smooth boundary that any complex geodesic through every two close points of $D$ sufficiently close to $\partial D$ and whose difference is…
Precise estimates for the Bergman distances of Dini-smooth bounded planar domains are given. These estimates imply that on such domains the Bergman distance almost coincides with the Carath\'eodory and Kobayashi distances.
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…
Estimates of the Bergman kernel and the Bergman and Kobayashi metrics on pseudoconvex domains near boundaries with constant Levi ranks are given.
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…
We provide examples of quasi-isometries for strongly convex domains in $\mathbb C^n$ endowed with their Kobayashi distance.
We study extremal discs for the Kobayashi metric. Inspired by work of Lempert on strongly convex domains, we present results on strongly pseudoconvex domains. We also consider a useful biholomorphic invariant, inspired by the Kobayashi (and…
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 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…
These are the notes of a short course I gave in the school "Aspects m\'etriques et dynamiques en analyse complete", Lille, May 2015. The aim of this notes is to describe how to use a geometric structure (namely, the Kobayashi distance) to…
We obtain explicit bounds on the difference and ratio between "local" and "global" Kobayashi distances in a domain of $\mathbb C^n$ as the points go toward a boundary point with appropriate geometric properties. We use this for the global…
We prove that in a strongly pseudoconvex domain with smooth boundary, then the length of a geodesic for the Kobayashi-Royden infinitesimal metric between two points is bounded by a constant multiple of the Euclidean distance between the…
In this paper, we obtain a more precise estimate of Catlin-type distance for smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domain of finite type in $\mathbb{C}^2$. As an application, we get an alternative proof of the Gromov hyperbolicity of this domain…
