Hyperbolic 2-dimensional manifolds with 3-dimensional automorphism group (Q2426847)

Consider a connected \(n\)-dimensional Kobayashi hyperbolic complex manifold with the group of holomorphic automorphisms \(\text{Aut}(M)\) having the dimension \(d(M)\leq n^2+2n\). In a series of papers published in last years the author has studied some cases of lower values of \(d(M)\). In the present paper he determines all Kobayashi hyperbolic \(2\)-dimensional complex manifolds \(M\) for which \(d(M)=3\)(\((2,3)\)-manifolds). First he considers the case where the codimension \(1\) orbits are present in the manifolds and such orbits are either strongly pseudoconvex or Levi flat. Next he presents a large number of examples. In fact, these examples form a complete classification of \((2,3)\)-manifolds with codimension \(1\) orbits.Then he obtains a classification for the case where all the orbits are strongly pseudoconvex. Next he considers the Levi flat orbits and obtains a complete classification too. Finally, he considers the case of the codimension \(2\) orbits, obtaining some interesting families of curves.
