Finsler metrics and Kobayashi hyperbolicity of the moduli spaces of canonically polarized manifolds (Q2255291)

The main result of the paper is the following. Let \(\pi: \mathcal{X}\rightarrow S\) be an effectively parametrized holomorphic family of compact canonically polarized complex manifolds over a complex manifold \(S\). Then \(S\) admits a \(C^\infty\) \(\mathrm{Aut}(\pi)\)-invariant Finsler metric whose holomorphic sectional curvature is bounded above by a negative constant. In particular, \(S\) is Kobayashi hyperbolic.
