We consider a class of complete Kahler manifolds with a strictly pseudoconvex boundary at infinity. After studying its asymptotic geometry, we formulate a conjecture in the Kahler-Einstein case relating the bottom of spectrum to the CR geometry on the boundary. We prove some partial results.
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.
We study Kahler manifolds-with-boundary, not necessarily compact, with weakly pseudoconvex boundary, each component of which is compact. If such a manifold $K$ has $l\ge2$ boundary components (possibly $l=\infty$), then it has first betti number at least $l-1$, and the Levi form of any boundary component is zero. If $K$ has $l\ge1$ pseudoconvex boundary components and at least one non-parabolic end, the first betti number of $K$ is at least $l$. In either case, any boundary component has non-vanishing first betti number. If $K$ has one pseudoconvex boundary component with vanishing first betti…
On Kahler 4-manifolds, not necessarily compact or of finite topological type, we obtain relationships between the fundamental group of compact embedded Levi-flat or pseudoconvex submanifold and the fundamental group of the ambient manifold $M^4$. When a Levi-flat submanifold $V^3$ has finite fundamental group then $π_1(M^4)=ι_*π_1(V^3)$; when a non-separating pseudoconvex submanifold $V^3$ has finite fundamental group, then $π_1(M^4)=ι_*π_1(V^3)\rtimes\mathbb{Z}$. As applications, if a Kahler manifold (compact or not) has an embedded holomorphic $\mathbb{P}^1$ of positive self-intersection, it…
We prove a local boundary regularity result for the complete Kahler-Einstein metrics of negative Ricci curvature near strictly pseudoconvex boundary point. We also study the asymptotic behaviour of their holomorphic bisectional curvatures near such points.
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.
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 $2$. In addition, we discuss the previous result with general bounded pseudoconvex domain and local triviality of a family of bounded strongly pseudoconvex 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-Einstein metrics induces a smooth $(1,1)$-form $ρ$ on $D$. In this paper, we prove that $ρ$ is positive-definite on $D$ if $D$ is strongly pseudoconvex. We also discuss the extensioin of $ρ$ as a positive current across singular fibers.
In this paper, we first establish several theorems about the estimation of distance function on real and strongly convex complex Finsler manifolds and then obtain a Schwarz lemma from a strongly convex weakly Kähler-Finsler manifold into a strongly pseudoconvex complex Finsler manifold. As applications, we prove that a holomorphic mapping from a strongly convex weakly Kähler-Finsler manifold into a strongly pseudoconvex complex Finsler manifold is necessary constant under an extra condition. In particular, we prove that a holomorphic mapping from a complex Minkowski space into a strongly pseud…
The metrics of S. Y. Cheng and S.-T. Yau are considered on a strictly pseudoconvex domains in a complex manifold. Such a manifold carries a complete Kähler-Einstein metric if and only if its canonical bundle is positive. We consider the restricted case in which the CR structure on $\partial M$ is normal. In this case M must be a domain in a resolution of the Sasaki cone over $\partial M$. We give a condition on a normal CR manifold which it cannot satisfy if it is a CR infinity of a Kähler-Einstein manifold. We are able to mostly determine those normal CR 3-manifolds which can be CR infinities…
A locally conformally Kahler (LCK) manifold is a complex manifold admitting a Kahler covering M, such that its monodromy acts on this covering by homotheties. A compact LCK manifold is called LCK with potential if M admits an authomorphic Kahler potential. It is known that in this case it is an algebraic cone, that is, the set of all non-zero vectors in the total space of an anti-ample line bundle over a projective orbifold. We start with an algebraic cone C, and show that the set of Kahler metrics with potential which could arise from an LCK structure is in bijective correspondence with the s…
Let $π:\mathbb{C}^n\times\mathbb{C}\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$ be the projection map onto the second factor and let $D$ be a domain in $\mathbb{C}^{n+1}$ such that for $y\inπ(D)$, every fiber $D_y:=D\capπ^{-1}(y)$ is a smoothly bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$ and is diffeomorphic to each other. By Chau's theorem, the Kähler-Ricci flow has a long time solution $ω_y(t)$ on each fiber $D_y$. This family of flows induces a smooth real (1,1)-form $ω(t)$ on the total space $D$ whose restriction to the fiber $D_y$ satisfies $ω(t)\vert_{D_y}=ω_y(t)$. In this paper, we prove that $ω(t…
We prove that a complete noncompact Kähler manifold $M^{n}$of positive bisectional curvature satisfying suitable growth conditions is biholomorphic to a pseudoconvex domain of {\bf C}$^{n}$ and we show that the manifold is topologically {\bf R}$^{2n}$. In particular, when $M^{n}$ is a Kähler surface of positive bisectional curvature satisfying certain natural geometric growth conditions, it is biholomorphic to {\bf C}$^{2}$.
We study the complete Kahler-Einstein metric in tube domains. We obtain estimates of this metric and its holomorphic bisectional curvatures near the weakly pseudoconvex boundary points.
Any strictly pseudoconvex domain in C2 carries a complete Kahler-Einstein metric, the Cheng-Yau metric, with ``conformal infinity'' the CR structure of the boundary. It is well known that not all CR structures on the 3-sphere arise in this way. In this paper, we study CR structures on the 3-sphere satisfying a different filling condition: boundaries at infinity of (complete) selfdual Einstein metrics. We prove that (modulo contactomorphisms) they form an infinite dimensional manifold, transverse to the space of CR structures which are boundaries of complex domains (and therefore of Kahler-Eins…
We consider a complex Plateau problem for strongly pseudoconvex contours in non Kähler manifolds. A positive solution in the case of manifolds carrying a pluriclosed Hermitian metric forms is given. For the general case we propose a conjecture.
On a complete noncompact Kähler manifold we prove that the bottom of the spectrum for the Laplacian is bounded from above by $m^2$ if the Ricci curvature is bounded from below by $-2(m+1)$. Then we show that if this upper bound is achieved then the manifold has at most two ends. These results improve previous results on this subject proved by P. Li and J. Wang in \cite {L-W3} and \cite{L-W} under assumptions on the bisectional curvature.
In this paper, we obtain optimal $L^2$ extension of holomorphic sections of a holomorphic vector bundle from subvarieties in weakly pseudoconvex Kähler manifolds. Moreover, in the case of line bundle the Hermitian metric is allowed to be singular.
For a strictly pseudoconvex domain in a complex manifold we define a renormalized volume with respect to the approximately Einstein complete Kähler metric of Fefferman. We compute the conformal anomaly in complex dimension two and apply the result to derive a renormalized Chern--Gauss--Bonnet formula. Relations between renormalized volume and the CR $Q$-curvature are also investigated.
We study how the existence of a negatively pinched Kähler metric on a domain in complex Euclidean space restricts the geometry of its boundary. In particular, we show that if a convex domain admits a complete Kähler metric, with pinched negative holomorphic bisectional curvature outside a compact set, then the boundary of the domain does not contain any complex subvariety of positive domain. Moreover, if the boundary of the domain is smooth, then it is of finite type in the sense of D'Angelo. We also use curvature to provide a characterization of strong pseudoconvexity amongst convex domains. …
Let $B_n$ and $P_n$ be the unit ball and the unit polydisk in $\mathbb{C}^n$ with $n\geq 2$ respectively. Denote $\mbox{Aut}(B_n)$ and $\mbox{Aut}(P_n)$ the holomorphic automorphism group of $B_n$ and $P_n$ respectively. In this paper, we prove that $B_n$ admits no $\mbox{Aut}(B_n)$-invariant strongly pseudoconvex complex Finsler metric other than a constant multiple of the Poincar$\acute{\mbox{e}}$-Bergman metric, while $P_n$ admits infinite many $\mbox{Aut}(P_n)$-invariant complete strongly convex complex Finsler metrics other than the Bergman metric. The $\mbox{Aut}(P_n)$-invariant complex …
Obstruction flatness of a strongly pseudoconvex hypersurface $Σ$ in a complex manifold refers to the property that any (local) Kähler-Einstein metric on the pseudoconvex side of $Σ$, complete up to $Σ$, has a potential $-\log u$ such that $u$ is $C^\infty$-smooth up to $Σ$. In general, $u$ has only a finite degree of smoothness up to $Σ$. In this paper, we study obstruction flatness of hypersurfaces $Σ$ that arise as unit circle bundles $S(L)$ of negative Hermitian line bundles $(L, h)$ over Kähler manifolds $(M, g).$ We prove that if $(M,g)$ has constant Ricci eigenvalues, then $S(L)$ is obst…
Let $(M^n, g)$ be a complete non-compact Kähler manifold with non-negative and bounded holomorphic bisectional curvature. We prove that $M$ is holomorphically covered by a pseudoconvex domain in $\C^n$ which is homeomorphic to $\R^{2n}$, provided $(M^n, g)$ has uniform linear average quadratic curvature decay.
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. Recasting the problem into the question of vanishing of an $L^2$ cohomology and taking advantage of the asymptotic complex hyperbolicity of the Cheng-Yau metric, we establish the possibility of such a deformation when the dimension of the domain is larger than or equal to three.
We define a renormalized characteristic class for Einstein asymptotically complex hyperbolic (ACHE) manifolds of dimension 4: for any such manifold, the polynomial in the curvature associated to the characteristic class euler-3signature is shown to converge. This extends a work of Burns and Epstein in the Kahler-Einstein case. This extends a work of Burns and Epstein in the Kahler-Einstein case. We also define a new global invariant for any 3-dimensional pseudoconvex CR manifold, by a renormalization procedure of the eta invariant of a sequence of metrics which approximate the CR structure. Fi…
Let $Ω$ be a strongly pseudoconvex domain. We introduce the Mabuchi space of strongly plurisubharmonic functions in $Ω$. We study metric properties of this space using Mabuchi geodesics and establish regularity properties of the latter, especially in the ball. As an application we study the existence of local Kähler-Einstein metrics.
Consider a compact Kähler manifold $M^m$ with Ricci curvature lower bound $Ric_M\geq -2(m+1) .$ Assume that its universal cover $% \widetilde{M}$ has maximal bottom of spectrum $λ_1(\widetilde{M}%) =m^2.$ Then we prove that $\widetilde{M}$ is isometric to the complex hyperbolic space $\Bbb{CH}^m.$
