An essay on Bergman completeness

We give first of all a new criterion for Bergman completeness in terms of the pluricomplex Green function. Among several applications, we prove in particular that every Stein subvariety in a complex manifold admits a Bergman complete Stein neighborhood basis, which improves a theorem of Siu. Secondly, we give for hyperbolic Riemann surfaces a sufficient condition for when the Bergman and Poincaré metrics are quasi-isometric. A consequence is an equivalent characterization of uniformly perfect planar domains in terms of growth rates of the Bergman kernel and metric. Finally, we provide a noncompact Bergman complete pseudoconvex manifold without nonconstant negative plurisubharmonic functions.     

Bergman kernel and metric on non-smooth pseudoconvex domains

A stability theorem of the Bergman kernel and completeness of the Bergman metric have been proved on a type of non-smooth pseudoconvex domains defined in the following way:D = {z∈U|r(z)} <whereU is a neighbourhood of andr is a continuous plurisubharmonic function onU. A continuity principle of the Bergman Kernel for pseudoconvex domains with Lipschitz boundary is also given, which answers a problem of Boas.     

A Sobolev mapping property of the Bergman kernel

We prove that if D is a pseudoconvex domain with Lipschitz boundary having an exhaustion function such that is plurisubharmonic, then the Bergman projection maps the Sobolev space boundedly to itself for any . Received March 10, 1999 / Published online May 8, 2000     

On the Bergman metric of pseudoconvex domains in a complex projective space

We prove a localization principle of the Bergman kernel form and metric for pseudoconvex domains in the complex projective space. An estimate of the Bergman distance is also given.

     

Unitary representations of unimodular Lie groups in Bergman spaces

For an arbitrary unimodular Lie group G, we construct strongly continuous unitary representations in the Bergman space of a strongly pseudoconvex neighborhood of G in the complexification of its underlying manifold. These representation spaces are infinite-dimensional and have compact kernels. In particular, the Bergman spaces of these natural manifolds are infinite-dimensional.     

Schatten class weighted composition operators on Bergman spaces of bounded strongly pseudoconvex domains

We characterize the Schatten class weighted composition operators on Bergman spaces of bounded strongly pseudoconvex domains in terms of the Berezin transform.     

A Direct Connection Between the Bergman and Szegő Projections

We use Stokes’s theorem to establish an explicit and concrete connection between the Bergman and Szeg? projections on the disc, the ball, and on strongly pseudoconvex domains.     

Toeplitz operators and weighted Bergman kernels

For a smoothly bounded strictly pseudoconvex domain, we describe the boundary singularity of weighted Bergman kernels with respect to weights behaving like a power (possibly fractional) of a defining function, and, more generally, of the reproducing kernels of Sobolev spaces of holomorphic functions of any real order. This generalizes the classical result of Fefferman for the unweighted Bergman kernel. Finally, we also exhibit a holomorphic continuation of the kernels with respect to the Sobolev parameter to the entire complex plane. Our main tool are the generalized Toeplitz operators of Boutet de Monvel and Guillemin.     

Comparing the Bergman and Szegö projections on domains with subelliptic boundary Laplacian

We prove that the difference between the Bergman and Szegö projections on a bounded, pseudoconvex domain (with C ^∞ boundary) is smoothing whenever the boundary Laplacian is subelliptic. An equivalent statement is that the Bergman projection can be represented as a composition of the Szegö and harmonic Bergman projections (along with the restriction and Poisson extension operators) modulo an error that is smoothing. We give several applications to the study of optimal mapping properties for these projections and their difference.     

Parametrix for the localization of the Bergman metric on strictly pseudoconvex domains

We give the parameter version of a localization theorem for the Bergman metric near the boundary points of strictly pseudoconvex domains. The approximation theorem for square integrable holomorphic functions on such domains in the spirit of Graham-Kerzman is proved in the hereby paper, as well.

Lp ‐estimates for the Bergman projection on strictly pseudoconvex nonsmooth domains

We consider the Bergman projection on Henkin–Leiterer domains, bounded strictly pseudoconvex domains which have defining functions whose gradient is allowed to vanish. Our result describes the mapping properties of the Bergman projection between weighted L^p spaces, with the weights being powers of the gradient of the defining function.

Hankel operators on the Bergman spaces of strongly pseudoconvex domains

Bergman Subspaces and Subkernels: Degenerate $$L^p$$ Mapping and Zeroes

Regularity and irregularity of the Bergman projection on \(L^p\) spaces is established on a natural family of bounded, pseudoconvex domains. The family is parameterized by a real variable \(\gamma \). A surprising consequence of the analysis is that, whenever \(\gamma \) is irrational, the Bergman projection is bounded only for \(p=2\).     

Continuity of Bergman and Szegö projections on weighted-sup function spaces on pseudoconvex domains

We study regularity of Bergman and Szeg? projections on Sobolev type weighted-sup spaces. The paper covers the case of strongly pseudoconvex domains with C⁴ boundary and, partially, domains of finite type in the sense of D’Angelo. Received: 6 October 2005     

The effect of boundary geometry on Hankel operators belonging to the trace ideals of Bergman spaces

The characterization of thosef for which the Hankel operatorsH _f belongs to various trace ideals over Bergman spaces on pseudoconvex domains of finite type in complex dimension two is given. In particular, we determine how the cutoff values are affected by the boundary geometry.All three authors supported by grants from the National Science Foundation

The Bergman metric and the pluricomplex Green function

We improve a lower bound for the Bergman distance in smooth pseudoconvex domains due to Diederich and Ohsawa. As the main tool we use the pluricomplex Green function and an -estimate for the -operator of Donnelly and Fefferman.

     

Estimates of the Bergman kernel for some pseudoconvex domains

Denote by K_ω(z, ζ) the Bergman kernel of a pseudoconvex domain Ω. For some classes of domains Ω, a relationship is found between the rate of increase of K_ω(z, z) as z tends to ∂Ω, and a purely geometric property of Ω. Bibliography: 5 titles.
