Abstract: Let D be a bounded domain in mathbfC2 with a non-compact group of holomorphic automorphisms. Model domains for D are obtained under the hypothesis that at least one orbit accumulates at a boundary point near which the boundary is smooth, real analytic and of finite type.


Let \(D\) be a bounded domain in \(\mathbb{C}^{2}\). If the group \(\text{Aut}D\) of holomorphic automorphisms of \(D\) is noncompact, then there exists an orbit of \(\text{Aut}D\) which has an accumulation point \(p_{\infty}\in\partial D\). Such a point is called an orbit accumulation point. The author classifies the bounded domains \(D\) which have an orbit accumulation point \(p_{\infty}\) such that the boundary \(\partial D\) is smooth real analytic and of finite order near \(p_{\infty}\). In particular, it is shown that the dimension of \(\text{Aut}D\) takes only the values \(2\), \(3\), \(4\) (complex ellipsoids) and \(8\) (Hermitian ball).
