The purpose of this article is to consider two themes both of which emanate from and involve the Kobayashi and the Carath\'eodory metric. First we study the biholomorphic invariant introduced by B. Fridman on strongly pseudoconvex domains,…

In this paper we give a characterization in terms of ``quasi-geodesics frames' of visibility and existence of geodesic loops for bounded domains in $\mathbb C^d$ which are Kobayashi complete hyperbolic and Gromov hyperbolic.

We show that a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$ admitting partial pseudoconvex exhaustion remains partial pseudoconvex. The main ingredient of the proof is based on a new characterization of hyper-$q$-convex domains. Furthermore, we…

For a domain $D$ of $\mathbb{C}^n$ which is weakly $q$-pseudoconvex or $q$-pseudoconcave we give a sufficient condition for subelliptic estimates for the $\bar{\partial}$-Neumann problem. The paper extends to domains which are not…

Having been unclear how to define that a domain is strictly pseudoconvex in the infinite-dimensional setting, we develop a general theory having Banach spaces in mind. We first focus on finite dimension and eliminate the need of two degrees…

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…

We prove that Kobayashi isometries between strongly convex domains are holomorphic or anti-holomorphic. More precisely, let $n_1, n_2$ be positive integers and let $\Omega_i \subset \C^{n_i}, \ i=1,2$, be bounded $C^3$ strongly convex…

Let $D\subset\mathbb{C}^n$ with $n>1$ be a pseudoconvex domain, possibly unbounded, that contains a non-smooth strongly pseudoconvex polyhedral boundary point. We show that the Bergman metric of $D$ is not Einstein.

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…

Pseudo-cones are a class of unbounded closed convex sets, not containing the origin. They admit a kind of polarity, called copolarity. With this, they can be considered as a counterpart to convex bodies containing the origin in the…

We prove the non-hyperbolicity of the Kobayashi distance for $\mathcal{C}^{1,1}$-smooth convex domains in $\mathbb{C}^{2}$ which contain an analytic disc in the boundary or have a point of infinite type with rotation symmetry. Moreover,…

We deliver examples of non-Gromov hyperbolic tube domains with convex bases (equipped with the Kobayashi distance). This is shown by providing a criterion on non-Gromov hyperbolicity of (non-smooth) domains.The results show the similarity…

We study proper holomorphic mappings between strictly pseudoconvex domains with low boundary regularity.

We construct the first examples of rationally convex surfaces in the complex plane with hyperbolic complex tangencies. In fact, we give two very different types of rationally convex surfaces: those that admit analytic fillings by…

Studying the behavior of real and complex geodesics we provide sharp estimates for the Kobayashi distance, the Lempert function, and the Carath\'eodory distance on $\mathcal{C}^{2,\alpha}$-smooth strongly pseudoconvex domains. Similar…

An open set in C^n is pseudoconvex if and only if its intersection with every affine subspace of complex dimension two as seen as an open set in C^2 is pseudoconvex.

In this note, we propose some open problems and questions about bounded convex domains in $\mathbb C^N$, specifically about visibility and iteration theory.

We show that there are many (compact) convex semi-algebraic sets in euclidean space that do not have a semidefinite representation. This gives a negative answer to a question by Nemirovski, resp. it shows that the Helton-Nie conjecture is…

In the 1980s, M. J. Markowitz introduced a conformally invariant pseudodistance on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds, inspired by the Kobayashi metric in projective geometry. This construction relies on a distinguished class of parametrized…

We obtain the simplicity of the first Neumann eigenvalue of convex thin domain with boundary in $R^n$ and compact thin manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature. For convex thin domain in $R^2$, we get the simplicity of the first k…
