Differential geometry of Cartan domains of type four (Q920418)

A Cartan domain of type IV is a bounded symmetric domain \(D_ n=\{z\in {\mathbb{C}}^ n:\;| z| <1,\quad 1-2| z|^ 2+|^ tzz|^ 2>0\}\) whose Bergman kernel function is \((1-2| z|^ 2+|^ tzz|^ 2)^{-n}.\) The author proves that -2\(\leq (holomorphic\) sectional curvature of \(D_ n)\leq -1\) and -2\(\leq (holomorphic\) bisectional curvature of \(D_ n)\leq 0\). A complete classification for totally geodesic complex submanifolds of \(D_ n\) is also given.
