Abstract:
Let act by biholomorphisms on a taut manifold . We show that can be regarded as a -invariant domain in a complex manifold on which the universal complexification of acts. If is also Stein, an analogous result holds for actions of a larger class of real Lie groups containing, e.g., abelian and certain nilpotent ones. In this case the question of Steinness of is discussed.
