The Bergman kernel on certain weakly pseudoconvex domains (Q1898127)

An asymptotic expansion of the Bergman kernel is computed for a certain class of weakly pseudoconvex domains, known as \(4p\), \(M(n-1)\) tangent domains. The final form is \[ K_\Omega (z,w) = \varphi(z,w) |\text{grad }\psi (w)|^2 \text{det } {\mathcal L}(z, \overline {w}) {\mathcal X}^{-(n+1)}_{2p} (z,w) + \widetilde {K} (z,w), \] where \(\varphi\) is a \(C^\infty\) function, \(\psi\) is a defining function for the domain, \(\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{C}^n\), \({\mathcal L} (w, \overline {w})\) is the Levi form for \(\psi\), \({\mathcal X}_{2p}(z,w)\) is the generalized Levy polynomial of order \(2p\), and \(\widetilde {K} (z,w)\) is a kernel of weight \(> -n-1\).
