We construct higher-dimensional versions of the Diederich-Fornaess worm domains and show that the Bergman projection operators for these domains are not bounded on high-order $L^p$-Sobolev spaces for $1\leq p<\infty.$
We show how to construct a class of smooth bounded pseudoconvex domains whose boundary contains a given Stein manifold with strongly pseudoconvex boundary, having a prescribed codimension and D'Angelo class (a cohomological invariant…
The Diederich-Forn{\ae}ss worm domain, an important example of a smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domain without a Stein neighborhood basis, provides key counterexamples in the theory of Several Complex Variables. In this paper, we examine its…
We study bounded pseudoconvex domains in complex Euclidean space. We define an index associated to the boundary and show this new index is equivalent to the Diederich-Forn{\ae}ss index defined in 1977. This connects the…
In this work we consider smooth unbounded worm domains $\mathcal Z_\lambda$ in $\mathbb C^2$ and show that the Bergman projection, densely defined on the Sobolev spaces $H^{s,p}(\mathcal Z_\lambda)$, $p\in(1,\infty)$, $s\ge0$, does not…
We study the boundary behaviour of a variant of the Fridman's invariant function (defined in terms of the Bergman metric) on Levi corank one domains, strongly pseudoconvex domains, smoothly bounded convex domains in $ \mathbb{C}^n $ and…
In the paper we give a lower estimate for the essential norm of the $\bar{\partial}$-Neumann operator on convex domains and worm domains of Diederich and Fornaess.
We study bounded pseudoconvex domains in complex Euclidean spaces. We find analytical necessary conditions and geometric sufficient conditions for a domain being of trivial Diederich--Forn\ae ss index (i.e. the index equals to 1). We also…
A sufficient condition for the infinite dimensionality of the Bergman space of a pseudoconvex domain is given. This condition holds on any pseudoconvex domain that has at least one smooth boundary point of finite type in the sense of…
It is an observation due to J.J. Kohn that for a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain D in $C^n$ there exists s>0 such that the dbar-Neumann operator on D maps $W^s_{(0,1)}(D)$ (the space of $(0,1)$-forms with coefficient functions in…
By considering intrinsic geometric conditions, we introduce a new class of domains in complex Euclidean space. This class is invariant under biholomorphism and includes strongly pseudoconvex domains, finite type domains in dimension two,…
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 prove the boundedness of Bergman type projections in two different analytic function spaces in bounded strongly pseudoconvex domains with the smooth boundary. Our results were previously well-known in the case of the unit disk.
The Diederich--Forn\ae ss index has been introduced since 1977 to classify bounded pseudoconvex domains. In this article, we derive several intrinsic, geometric conditions on boundary of domains for arbitrary indexes. Many results, in the…
We give, in dimensions three or greater, an example of a bounded, pseudoconvex, circular domain in complex space with smooth real analytic boundary and non-compact automorphism group which is not biholomorphically equivalent to any…
In this paper (a sequel to B. Drinovec Drnovsek and F. Forstneric, Holomorphic curves in complex spaces, Duke Math. J. 139 (2007), 203-253) we obtain existence and approximation results for closed complex subvarieties that are normalized by…
We study the $\overline{\partial}$-Neumann problem using the Sobolev space inner product. We show that the problem can be solved on any smoothly bounded, pseudoconvex domain. We further formulate estimates and the basic results of a Sobolev…
We introduce the concept of Steinness index related to the Stein neighborhood basis. We then show several results: (1) The existence of Steinness index is equivalent to that of strong Stein neighborhood basis. (2) On the…
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.
For every $0<r<\frac{1}{2}$, we will construct a flat K\"ahler manifold $M$ and a relatively compact domain with smooth boundary $\Omega\subset M$ that is Stein but not hyperconvex such that the Bergman projection $P$ on $\Omega$ is regular…
