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…

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 obtain the Gehring-Hayman type theorem on smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domains of finite type in $\mathbb{C}^2$. As an application, we provide a quantitative comparison between global and local Kobayashi distances near a…

In this paper, we construct a pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb C^3$ where the Kobayashi metric does not blow up at a rate of one over distance to the boundary in the normal direction.

We first give a sufficient condition, issued from pluripotential theory, for an unbounded domain in the complex Euclidean space $\mathbb C^n$ to be Kobayashi hyperbolic. Then, we construct an example of a rigid pseudoconvex domain in…

Universal upper bounds for the Kobayashi and quasi-hyperbolic distances near Dini-smooth boundary points of domains in $\C^n$ and $\R^n,$ respectively, are obtained.

We prove that every bounded smooth domain of finite d'Angelo type in $\mathbb{C}^2$ endowed with the Kobayashi distance is Gromov hyperbolic and its Gromov boundary is canonically homeomorphic to the Euclidean boundary. We also show that…

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…

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…

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…

The purpose of this article is to investigate the boundary behaviour of the Kobayashi--Fuks metric and several associated invariants on strictly pseudoconvex domains in the paradigm of scaling. This approach allows us to examine more…

We study the boundary behavior of the Kobayashi-Royden metric and the Kobayashi hyperbolicity of domains in Riemannian manifolds. As an application, we prove a Fatou type theorem on the existence, almost everywhere, of non tangential limits…

Under a potential-theoretical hypothesis named $f$-Property with $f$ satisfying $\displaystyle\int_t^\infty \dfrac{da}{a f(a)}<\infty$, we show that the Kobayashi metric $K(z,X)$ on a weakly pseudoconvex domain $\Om$, satisfies the estimate…

In this paper we introduce a new class of domains in complex Euclidean space, called Goldilocks domains, and study their complex geometry. These domains are defined in terms of a lower bound on how fast the Kobayashi metric grows and an…

In this paper, we extend the notion of visibility relative to the Kobayashi distance to domains in arbitrary complex manifolds. Visibility here refers to a property resembling visibility in the sense of Eberlein--O'Neill for Riemannian…

We present different constructions of abstract boundaries for bounded complete (Kobayashi) hyperbolic domains in ${\mathbb C}^d$, $d \geq 1$. These constructions essentially come from the geometric theory of metric spaces. We also present,…

In this paper, we calculate estimates for invariant metrics on a finite type convex domain in $\mathbb C^n$ using the Sibony metric. We also discuss a possible modification of the Sibony metric.

We refine estimates introduced by Balogh and Bonk, to show that the boundary extensions of isometries between smooth strongly pseudoconvex domains in $\C^n$ are conformal with respect to the sub-Riemannian metric induced by the Levi form.…

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 prove that a strongly pseudoconvex domain with noncompact group of Kobayashi/Royden metric isometries must be biholomorphic to the unit ball.
