Abstract Bergman kernel expansion and its applications

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We give a purely complex geometric proof of the existence of the Bergman kernel expansion. Our method provides a sharper estimate, and in the case that the metrics are real analytic, we prove that the remainder decays faster than any polynomial.


This article about the existence of an asymptotic expansion for the Bergman kernel associated to high powers of a positive line bundle over a compact Kähler manifold extends the work of \textit{D. Catlin} [in: Analysis and geometry in several complex variables. Proceedings of the 40th Taniguchi symposium, Katata, Japan, 1997. Boston, MA: Birkhäuser. 1--23 (1999; Zbl 0941.32002)] and \textit{S. Zelditch} [Int. Math. Res. Not. 1998, No. 6, 317--331 (1998; Zbl 0922.58082)]. The authors give a proof based solely on techniques of complex geometry, including special coordinates termed \(K\)-coordinates and \(K\)-frames. Their abstract result provides improved control on the remainder term. In the real analytic case, the asymptotic expansion converges, and the remainder decays faster than every polynomial.
