Angular derivatives in several complex variables
Let \( \Delta \) be the unit disk of \( {\mathbb C} \) and let \( f \) be a holomorphic function in \( \Delta \), with \( f(\Delta)\subseteq\Delta \). The classical Julia-Wolff-Caratheodory theorem states that if \( \sigma \) is a point of the circle \( \partial\Delta \) and if \( \liminf_{\zeta\to \sigma}{1-| f(\zeta)|\over 1-| \zeta|}=\beta<\infty \), then the following properties hold: (i) \( \beta>0 \) and \( f \) has a non-tangential limit \( \tau\in \partial\Delta \) at \( \sigma \), (ii) both the incremental ratio \( {f(\zeta)-\tau\over \zeta-\sigma} \) and the derivative \( f'(\zeta) \) have non-tangential limit \(\beta\tau\bar\sigma \) at \( \sigma \). The paper under review is a detailed survey on the possible ways to extend this theorem to bounded holomorphic functions of several variables. After having introduced the relevant material (Kobayashi hyperbolicity, Lindelöf principles...), the author obtains a general version of the Julia-Wolff-Caratheodory theorem for domains \( D \) in \( {\mathbb C}^n\) which are complete hyperbolic with respect to the Kobayashi distance \( k_D \), and equipped with an adapted notion of projection to a boundary point \(x\). The result can be roughly, and partly, described as follows. Kobayashi approach regions (\(K\)-regions) allow to define accordingly \( K \)-boundedness and \( K \)-limits at \( x \). For any vector \( v \) in \( {\mathbb C}^n \), put \( {\mathbf s}_x(v)=\{s\geq 0\, ;\, d(\cdot, \partial D)^s\kappa_D(\cdot,v)\) is \(K\)-bounded at \( x\}\), where \( \kappa_D \) is the Kobayashi metric. Let \( f \) be a holomorphic function on \( D \), taking its values in \( \Delta \), and such that \( \liminf_{z\to x}(k_D(z_0,z)-k_\Delta(0,f(z)))={1\over 2}\log\beta<\infty \) for some \( z_0 \) in \( D \). Then, for any vector \( v \) of \( {\mathbb C}^n \) and any \( s\in {\mathbf s}_x(v) \), the function \( d(\cdot,\partial D)^{s-1}\partial f/\partial v \) is \( K \)-bounded. For \( s>\inf{\mathbf s}_x(v) \), it has \( K\)-limit \( 0 \) at \( x \). The paper also contains a number of examples and related results. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1052.32002].
