Compactification of Kähler manifolds with negative Ricci curvature (Q1191355)

This paper establishes the following Theorem: If \(X\) is a complete Kähler manifold of finite volume, bounded Riemannian sectional curvature and negative Ricci curvature, it is biholomorphic to some Zariski-open subset of some projective manifold. This was previously known in the special case where \(X\) has finite topology (Mok-Zhong). Building on this and previous results of himself, the author reduces the proof to an ingenious application of the maximum principle for subharmonic functions.
