K-correspondences and intrinsic pseudovolume forms

Intrinsic pseudo-volume forms for logarithmic pairs

We study an adaptation to the logarithmic case of the Kobayashi-Eisenman pseudo-volume form, or rather an adaptation of its variant defined by Claire Voisin, for which she replaces holomorphic maps by holomorphic K-correspondences. We define an intrinsic logarithmic pseudo-volume form Φ_{X,D} for every pair (X,D) consisting of a complex manifold X and a normal crossing Weil divisor, the positive part of which is reduced. We then prove that Φ_{X,D} is generically non-degenerate when X is projective and K_X+D is ample. This result is analogous to the classical Kobayashi-Ochiai theorem. We also s…
