The Bloch theorem in several complex variables (Q1323553)

The background theory for the Bloch Theorem is generalized to classical domains in several complex variables. In particular, the Bergman kernel function is used to extend work of Landau and Bonk. The principal conclusion of the paper is the lower estimate for Bloch's constant for mappings of \(n \times m\) matrix domains that are the first type of classical domain. In case that \(m=1\), the results specialize to the estimate given for the \(n\)-dimensional ball given by Liu recently. In case that both \(n=1\) and \(m=1\), the estimate coincides with that given much earlier by Ahlfors.
