Three-circle theorem and dimension estimate for holomorphic functions on Kähler manifolds (Q345177)

The classical Hadamard three-circle theorem says that in an annulus, the logarithm for the modulus of a holomorphic function is convex in terms of \(\log r\). In this article, the author gives a generalization of this theorem to complete Kähler manifolds \(M\). These \(M\) satisfy the three-circle theorem if and only if the holomorphic sectional curvature of \(M\) is nonnegative. Two sharp monotonicity formulae are derived as corollaries. Among applications, the author obtained sharp dimension estimates (with rigidity) of holomorphic functions with polynomial growth when the holomorphic sectional curvature is nonnegative.
