چکیده
We study extremal discs for the Kobayashi metric. Inspired by work of Lempert on strongly convex domains, we present results on strongly pseudoconvex domains. We also consider a useful biholomorphic invariant, inspired by the Kobayashi (and Carathéodory) metric, and prove several new results about biholomorphic equivalence of domains. Some useful results about automorphism groups of complex domains are also established. 0 Introduction Throughout this paper, a domain in C is a connected, open set. Usually our domains will be bounded. It is frequently convenient to think of a domain Ω (with smooth boundary) as given by Ω = {z ∈ Ω : ρ(z) < 0} , where ρ is a C function and ∇ρ 6= 0 on ∂Ω. We say in this circumstance that ρ is a C defining function for Ω. It follows from the implicit function theorem that ∂Ω is a C manifold in a natural sense. See [KRA1] for more on these matters. Throughout the paper D denotes the unit disc in the complex plane C and B denotes the unit ball in complex space C. If Ω1,Ω2 are domains in complex space then we let Ω1(Ω2) denote the holomorphic mappings from Ω2 to Ω1. In

On Isometries of Intrinsic Metrics in Complex Analysis
We study isometries of the Kobayashi and Carathéodory metrics on strongly pseudoconvex and strongly convex domains in C and prove: (i) Let Ω1 and Ω2 be strongly pseudoconvex domains in C and f : Ω1 → Ω2 an isometry. Suppose that f extends as a C map to Ω̄1. Then f |∂Ω1 : ∂Ω1 → ∂Ω2 is a CR or anti-CR diffeomorphism. Hence it follows that Ω1 and Ω2 must be biholomorphic or anti-biholomorphic. (ii)...
متن کاملQuasi-contractive Mappings in Fuzzy Metric Spaces
We consider the concept of fuzzy quasi-contractions initiated by '{C}iri'{c} in the setting of fuzzy metric spaces and establish fixed point theorems for quasi-contractive mappings and for fuzzy $mathcal{H}$-contractive mappings on M-complete fuzzy metric spaces in the sense of George and Veeramani.The results are illustrated by a representative example.
متن کاملThe Universal Properties of Teichmüller Spaces
We discuss universal properties of general Teichmüller spaces. Our topics include the Teichmüller metric and the Kobayashi metric, extremality and unique extremality of quasiconformal mappings, biholomorphic maps between Teichmüller space, earthquakes and Thurston boundary.
متن کاملM ay 2 00 7 Remarks on the existence of bilaterally symmetric extremal
The study of extremal Kähler metric is initiated by the seminar work of Calabi [4], [5]. Let (M, [ω]) be a compact Kähler manifold with fixed Kähler class [ω]. The extremal Kähler metric is the critical point of the Calabi energy C(g) for any Kähler metrics g in the fixed Kähler class [ω], C(g) = M s 2 dµ, where s is the scalar curvature of g. The extremal condition asserts that ¯ ∂∇s = 0. In o...

The study of extremal Kähler metric is initiated by the seminal works of Calabi [4], [5]. Let (M, [ω]) be a compact Kähler manifold with fixed Kähler class [ω]. For any Kähler metrics g in the fixed Kähler class [ω], the Calabi energy C(g) is defined as C(g) = M s 2 dµ, where s is the scalar curvature of g. The extremal Kähler metric is the critical point of the Calabi energy. The Euler-Lagrang...
