Quotients of the unit ball of \(\mathbb C^n\) for a free action of \(\mathbb Z\) (Q1604971)

Let \(D\) be a bounded strictly holomorphically convex domain in \(\mathbb C^n\) and \(\Gamma\) an infinite cyclic subgroup of Aut\(D\) operating freely on \(D\). It is known that \(D\) is biholomorphically equivalent to the open unit ball \(\mathbb B_n\) in \(\mathbb C^n\) and the authors are interested in the global complex structure of the quotient manifold \( D\slash\Gamma\simeq\mathbb B_n\slash\Gamma\) and prove that \(\mathbb B_n\slash\Gamma\) can be realized as a bounded Stein domain in \(\mathbb C^n\). The group \(\Gamma\simeq\mathbb Z\) is generated by a hyperbolic or by a parabolic element \(\gamma\) of Aut\(\mathbb B_n\). In a former paper the first named author got the above result in the hyperbolic situation [see \textit{C. de Fabritiis}, Complex Variables, Theory Appl. 36, No. 3, 233-252 (1998; Zbl 1022.32007)], while in this paper the authors consider the parabolic case. By using special normal forms for suitable conjugates of \(\gamma\) they construct a biholomorphic map from \(\mathbb B_n\slash\Gamma\) onto a bounded holomorphically convex domain in \(\mathbb C^n\).
