Study curvature in holomorphic fibration fields.

In this paper we establish a gap theorem for the complex geometry of smoothly bounded convex domains which informally says that if the complex geometry near the boundary is close to the complex geometry of the unit ball, then the domain must be strongly pseudoconvex. One consequence of our general result is the followi…

The study shows algebraic Bergman kernels imply finite type boundaries in complex domains.

The paper proves that a fiberwise Kähler-Ricci flow is positive for all time on a family of bounded strongly pseudoconvex domains.

We construct new complete Einstein metrics on smoothly bounded strictly pseudoconvex domains in Stein manifolds. This is done by deforming the Kähler-Einstein metric of Cheng and Yau, the approach that generalizes the works of Roth and Biquard on the deformations of the complex hyperbolic metric on the unit ball. Recas…

We shall give a definition of the curvature operator for a family of weighted Bergman spaces $\{\mathcal H_t\}$ associated to a smooth family of smoothly bounded strongly pseudoconvex domains $\{D_t\}$. In order to study the boundary term in the curvature operator, we shall introduce the notion of geodesic curvature fo…

This paper is a sequel to \cite{Choi} in Math. Ann. In that paper we studied the subharmonicity of Kähler-Einstein metrics on strongly pseudoconvex domains of dimension greater than or equal to $3$. In this paper, we study the variations Kähler-Einstein metrics on bounded strongly pseudoconvex domains of dimension $2$.…

Study on when Bergman metrics of domains are induced by balls.

We study spectral behavior of the complex Laplacian on forms with values in the $k^{\text{th}}$ tensor power of a holomorphic line bundle over a smoothly bounded domain with degenerated boundary in a complex manifold. In particular, we prove that in the two dimensional case, a pseudoconvex domain is of finite type if a…

Establishes a lower bound for Kähler hyperbolicity modulus in hyperconvex domains and bounded strongly pseudoconvex domains.

In this new version, we give an affirmative solution to a conjecture of Cheng proposed in 1979 which asserts that the Bergman metric of a smoothly bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^n, n\geq 2,$ is Kähler-Einstein if and only if the domain is biholomorphic to the ball. We establish versions of various …

The paper proves a conjecture about the Bergman metric of real analytic domains.

Rigidity theorem for Bergman metric on Hartogs domains over bounded homogeneous domains.

In this note we shall prove that the complete Kähler-Einstein volume form on a bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain with $C^{\infty}$-boundary is the normalized limit of a sequence of Bergman kernels.

We prove that if a smoothly bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain $D \subset \mathbb C^n$, $n \geq 2$, admits at least one Monge-Ampère exhaustion smooth up to the boundary (i.e. a plurisubharmonic exhaustion $τ: \overline D \to [0,1]$, which is $\mathcal C^\infty$ at all points except possibly at the unique minimum poi…

The paper proves Gromov hyperbolicity of certain metrics using isoperimetric inequalities.

The study proves the existence of complete Kähler metrics with negative holomorphic bisectional curvature in specific domains.

We establish the existence of Kähler-Ricci flow on pseudoconvex domains with general initial metric without curvature bounds. Moreover we prove that this flow is simultaneously complete, and its normalized version converge to the complete Kähler-Einstein metric, which generalizes Topping's works on surfaces.

On a bounded strictly pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$, $n>1$, the smoothness of the Cheng-Yau solution to Fefferman's complex Monge-Ampere equation up to the boundary is obstructed by a local curvature invariant of the boundary. For bounded strictly pseudoconvex domains in $\mathbb{C}^2$ which are diffeomorphic t…

Study shows Bergman metric is non-Einstein for certain domains.

Let $p:X\rightarrow Y$ be a surjective holomorphic mapping between Kähler manifolds. Let $D$ be a bounded smooth domain in $X$ such that every generic fiber $D_y:=D\cap p^{-1}(y)$ for $y\in Y$ is a strongly pseudoconvex domain in $X_y:=p^{-1}(y)$, which admits the complete Kähler-Einstein metric. This family of Kähler-…

We compute the Szego kernel of the unit circle bundle of a negative line bundle dual to a regular quantum line bundle over a compact Kaehler manifold. As a corollary we provide an infinite family of smoothly bounded strictly pseudoconvex domains on complex manifolds (disk bundles over homogeneous Hodge manifolds) for w…

New method detects non-product domains using squeezing function.

The first result is the semicontinuity of automorphism groups for the collection of complex two-dimensional bounded pseudoconvex domains with smooth boundary of finite D'Angelo type. The method of proof is new so that it simplifies the previous proof of earlier semicontinuity theorems on bounded strongly pseudoconvex d…

Smooth families of biholomorphisms between strongly pseudoconvex domains are shown to be smooth.

A simple characterization is given of open subsets of a complex surface that smoothly perturb to Stein open subsets. As applications, complex 2-space C^2 contains domains of holomorphy (Stein open subsets) that are exotic R^4's, and others homotopy equivalent to the 2-sphere but cut out by smooth, compact 3-manifolds. …

The paper introduces new metrics on complex domains with specific geometric properties.

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 upper bound on how fast the Kobayashi distance grows as one approaches the boundary…

We establish inequalities for the eigenvalues of the sub-Laplace operator associated with a pseudo-Hermitian structure on a strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold. Our inequalities extend those obtained by Niu and Zhang \cite{NiuZhang} for the Dirichlet eigenvalues of the sub-Laplacian on a bounded domain in the Heisenberg …

We give a necessary complex geometric condition for a bounded smooth convex domain in Cn, endowed with the Kobayashi distance, to be Gromov hyperbolic. More precisely, we prove that if a smooth bounded convex domain contains an analytic disk in its boundary, then the domain is not Gromov hyperbolic for the Kobayashi di…

Two-dimensional domains with Kähler-Einstein Bergman metrics are biholomorphic to the unit ball.

We study the $\bar{\partial}_b$-Neumann problem for domains $Ω$ contained in a strictly pseudoconvex manifold M^{2n+1} whose boundaries are noncharacteristic and have defining functions depending solely on the real and imaginary parts of a single CR function w. When the Kohn Laplacian is a priori known to have closed r…

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-Fornæss index defined in 1977. This connects the Diederich-Fornæss index to boundary conditions and refines the Levi pseudoconvexity. We also prove the $…

In this note, we affirm the partial answer to the long open Conjecture which states that any closed embeddable strictly pseudoconvex CR $3$-manifold admits a contact form $θ$ with the vanishing CR $Q$-curvature. More precisely, we deform the contact form according to an CR analogue of $Q$%-curvature flow in a closed st…

Introduces Levi core for CR manifolds, linking it to global invariants.

For any pseudoconvex Runge domain $Ω\subset\mathbb{C}^2$ we prove that every closed discrete subset in $Ω$ is contained in a properly embedded complex curve in $Ω$ with any prescribed topology (possibly infinite).

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. As a corollary we obtain an alternative proof of a result of Fefferman on smooth …

We construct a complete proper holomorphic embedding from any strictly pseudoconvex domain with $\mathcal{C}^2$-boundary in $\mathbb{C}^n$ into the unit ball of $\mathbb{C}^N$, for $N$ large enough, thereby answering a question of Alarcon and Forstneric.
