On the Gromov hyperbolicity of the Kobayashi metric on strictly pseudoconvex regions in the almost complex case (Q1031844): Difference between revisions

The paper under review deals with hyperbolicity in the sense of Gromov and the large scale structure of the Kobayashi metric. Let \(J\) be an almost complex structure on \(\mathbb{R}^{2n}\) with \(n \geq 2\) and \(D\subset \mathbb{R}^{2n}\) a bounded \(J\)-convex region with connected boundary \(\partial D\). Then, the main result of this paper is as follows: \(D\) equipped with the Kobayashi metric is a geodesic metric space, hyperbolic in the sense of Gromov. Moreover, its boundary as a hyperbolic space is exactly its geometric boundary \(\partial D\). The author also gives a result on the dynamics of pseudo-holomorphic maps.
