Abstract: In a Riemannian manifold a regular convex domain is said to be $lambda$-convex if its normal curvature at each point is greater than or equal to $lambda$. In a Hadamard manifold, the asymptotic behaviour of the quotient $vol(Omega(t))/vol(partialOmega(t))$ for a family of $lambda$-convex domains $Omega(t)$ expanding over the whole space has been studied and general bounds for this quotient are known. In this paper we improve this general result in the complex hyperbolic space $CH$, a Hadamard manifold with constant holomorphic curvature equal to $-4k^2$. Furthermore, we give some specific properties of convex domains in $CH$ and we prove that $lambda$-convex domains of arbitrary radius exists if $lambdaleqk$.

Review text

A regular convex domain in a Riemannian manifold \(M\) is called \(\lambda\)-convex if its normal curvature at each point is greater than or equal to \(\lambda>0\). Relation between area and volume for expanding families of \(\lambda\)-convex domains in an Hadamard manifold \(M\) was studied in [\textit{A. A. Borisenko, E. Gallego} and \textit{A. Reventós}, Differ. Geom. Appl. 14, No. 3, 267--280 (2001; Zbl 0981.52006)]. In the present paper, the authors specialize and sharpen the main results of that work for the case when \(M\) is the complex hyperbolic space \(\mathbb{C}H^n(-4k^2)\), an Hadamard manifold of real dimension \(2n\) with sectional curvature \(K\) satisfying \(-4k^2 \leq K \leq -k^2\).NEWLINENEWLINEThe main results are the following two theorems.NEWLINENEWLINE{Theorem 1.1.} In \(\mathbb{C}H^n(-4k^2)\), if a family of compact \(\lambda\)-convex domains expands over the whole space then \(\lambda \leq k\).NEWLINENEWLINE{Theorem 1.2.} Let \(\{\Omega_t\}_{t\in\mathbb{R}^+}\) be a piecewise \(C^2\) family of \(\lambda\)-convex compact domains, \(0 \leq \lambda \leq k\), expanding over the whole space \(\mathbb{C}H^n(-4k^2)\), \(n \geq 2\). Then NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\frac{\lambda}{4nk^2} \leq \liminf_{t \to \infty} \frac{vol(\Omega_t)}{vol(\partial\Omega_t)} \leq \limsup_{t \to \infty} \frac{vol(\Omega_t)}{vol(\partial\Omega_t)} \leq \frac{1}{2nk}.NEWLINE\]NEWLINE Moreover, the upper bound is sharp.NEWLINENEWLINEAt the end of the paper, the specialization of the results to other non-compact rank one symmetric spaces is briefly considered.
