Rigidity theorem by the minimal point of the Bergman kernel

Abstract

We use the Suita conjecture (now a theorem) to prove that for any domain ΩC\Omega \subset \mathbb{C} its Bergman kernel K(,)K(\cdot, \cdot) satisfies K(z0,z0)=Volume(Ω)1K(z_0, z_0) = \hbox{Volume}(\Omega)^{-1} for some z0Ωz_0 \in \Omega if and only if Ω\Omega is either a disk minus a (possibly empty) closed polar set or C\mathbb{C} minus a (possibly empty) closed polar set. When Ω\Omega is bounded with CC^{\infty}-boundary, we provide a simple proof of this using the zero set of the Szeg\"o kernel. Finally, we show that this theorem fails to hold in Cn\mathbb{C}^n for n>1n > 1 by constructing a bounded complete Reinhardt domain (with algebraic boundary) which is strongly convex and not biholomorphic to the unit ball BnCn\mathbb{B}^n \subset \mathbb{C}^n.
