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,…
We study the higher order Kobayashi pseudometric introduced by Yu. We first obtain estimates of this pseudometric in a special pseudoconvex domain in $\C^3$. We then study the structure of the higher order extremal discs and their…
We study the Carath\'{e}odory and Kobayashi metrics by way of the method of dual extremal problems in functional analysis. Particularly incisive results are obtained for convex domains.
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…
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…
This article considers isometries of the Kobayashi and Carath\'{e}od-ory metrics on domains in $ \mathbf{C}^n $ and the extent to which they behave like holomorphic mappings. First we prove a metric version of Poincar\'{e}'s theorem about…
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…
In this paper we study the automorphism group of smoothly bounded convex domains. We show that such a domain is biholomorphic to a "polynomial ellipsoid" (that is, a domain defined by a weighted homogeneous balanced polynomial) if and only…
For a two dimensional bounded pseudoconvex domain of finite type, we prove uniformization theorems via K$\ddot{\operatorname{a}}$hler-Kobayashi metric or K$\ddot{\operatorname{a}}$hler-Carath$\acute{\operatorname{e}}$odory metric with…
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…
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.
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 establish a lower estimate for the Kobayashi-Royden infinitesimal pseudometric on an almost complex manifold $(M,J)$ admitting a bounded strictly plurisubharmonic function. We apply this result to study the boundary behaviour of the…
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…
We generalize Lempert's and Poletsky's works on the description of extremal discs for the Kobayashi metric to a higher order setting.
We prove that a strongly pseudoconvex domain with noncompact group of Kobayashi/Royden metric isometries must be biholomorphic to the unit ball.
For bounded pseudoconvex domains with finite type we give a precise description of the automorphism group: if an orbit of the automorphism group accumulates on at least two different points of the boundary, then the automorphism group has…
We construct families of convex domains that are biholomorphic to bounded domains, but not bounded convex domains. This is accomplished by finding an obstruction related to the Gromov hyperbolicity of the Kobayashi metric.
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…
In this paper we study when the Kobayashi distance on a Kobayashi hyperbolic domain has certain visibility properties, with a focus on unbounded domains. "Visibility" in this context is reminiscent of visibility, seen in negatively curved…
