Higher order Bergman functions and explicit construction of moduli space for complete Reinhardt domains (Q732331)

This article is a contribution to the problem of classifying domains up to biholomorphic equivalence and determining the space of moduli; the authors consider certain classes of two-dimensional, pseudoconvex, complete Reinhardt domains. Their method is an elaboration of a technique previously introduced by the second author [Math. Res. Lett. 11, No. 5--6, 809--832 (2004; Zbl 1076.32024)]. Taking the quotient by the map \((z_{1},z_{2}) \mapsto (z_{1}^{n+1},z_{2}^{n+1}, z_{1} z_{2})\), the authors pass from the setting of Reinhardt domains in \(\mathbb{C}^{2}\) to image domains lying in the subvariety of \(\mathbb{C}^{3}\) consisting of points \((x,y,z)\) for which \(xy=z^{n+1}\), where \(n\) is a fixed positive integer. In this setting of a variety with an isolated singularity, the second author has introduced a biholomorphic invariant called the Bergman function, which is generalized here to higher-order Bergman functions. The authors determine a complete set of biholomorphic invariants and construct the moduli space for two classes of domains that lie in the indicated variety and that are images of bounded, complete Reinhardt domains in \(\mathbb{C}^{2}\): first, strictly pseudoconvex domains and second, weakly pseudoconvex domains with real-analytic boundary. Since biholomorphic equivalence of domains in the variety corresponds to biholomorphic equivalence of the preimage domains in \(\mathbb{C}^{2}\), the authors have identified the moduli space for certain classes of complete Reinhardt domains in \(\mathbb{C}^{2}\). This article is part of the first author's 2009 PhD dissertation directed by the second author at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The authors treat the moduli problem for higher-dimensional, pseudoconvex, complete Reinhardt domains in a forthcoming joint article with Yun Gao [Explicit construction of moduli space of bounded complete Reinhardt domains in \(\mathbb{C}^n\) and Hilbert 14th problems, preprint].
