Properties of squeezing functions and global transformations of bounded domains

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The central purpose of the present paper is to study boundary behavior of squeezing functions on bounded domains. We prove that the squeezing function of a strongly pseudoconvex domain tends to 1 near the boundary. In fact, such an estimate is proved for the squeezing function on any domain near its globally strongly convex boundary points. We also study the stability of squeezing functions on a sequence of bounded domains, and give comparisons of intrinsic measures and metrics on bounded domains in terms of squeezing functions. As applications, we give new and simple proofs of several well known results about geometry of strongly pseudoconvex domains, and prove that all Cartan-Hartogs domains are homogenous regular. Finally, some related problems that ask for further study are proposed.


For a bounded domain \(D\subset\mathbb C^n\), let \(s_D(z):=\sup_fs_{D,f}(z)\), \(z\in D\), where NEWLINENEWLINE\[NEWLINEs_{D,f}(z):=\sup\big\{r>0: B^n(0,r)\subset f(D)\big\},NEWLINE\]NEWLINENEWLINE \(f:D\longrightarrow B^n(0,1)\) is an injective holomorphic mapping with \(f(z)=0\), and \(B^n(0,r)\) stands for the Euclidean ball. The function \(s_D\) is called the \textit{squeezing function of \(D\)} and it was introduced in the paper [\textit{F. Deng} et al., Pac. J. Math. 257, No. 2, 319--341 (2012; Zbl 1254.32015)]. We say that \(D\) is \textit{homogeneous regular} if \(\inf_{z\in D}s_D(z)>0\). A point \(p\in\partial D\) is called \textit{globally strongly convex} if \(\partial D\) is \(\mathcal C^2\)-smooth and strongly convex at \(p\) and \(\overline D\cap T_p\partial D=\{p\}\). The main results of the paper are the following theorems. {\parindent=6mm \begin{itemize} \item[-] If \(p\) is globally strongly convex, then \(\lim_{z\to p}s_D(z)=1\). \item [-] If \(D\) is strongly pseudoconvex with \(\mathcal C^2\)-smooth boundary, then \(\lim_{z\to\partial D}s_D(z)=1\). In particular, \(D\) is homogeneous regular. NEWLINENEWLINE\end{itemize}} \noindent The authors present various properties of squeezing functions, e.g., stability under increasing and decreasing sequences of domains, and comparisons with standard intrinsic measures and metrics. As applications they present new methods for studying the geometry of Hartogs domains over classical Cartan domains and strongly pseudoconvex domains.
