Abstract: We present a method of obtaining a lower bound estimate of the curvatures of the Bergman metric without using the regularity of the kernel function on the boundary. As an application, we prove the existence of an uniform lower bound of the bisectional curvatures of the Bergman metric of a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain near the boundary with constant Levi rank.


The author mainly studies the local lower bound of the bisectional curvatures of the Bergman metric on a pseudoconvex domain with smooth boundary in \(\mathbb{C}^n\), whose Levi form has constant rank. Classical results either use the asymptotic expansion of the Bergman kernel or the regularity of the \(\bar\partial\)-Neumann operator to obtain the lower bound of the bisectional curvatures of the Bergman metric. Here, the author introduces a different method: since the bisectional curvatures can be represented by Bergman's minimal integrals, the lower bound can be obtained by local estimates of the Bergman's minimal integrals. By applying Fu's and Catlin's results, the author is able to estimate the minimal integrals in a polydisk near a given boundary point. At the end of the paper, the author also mentions that this method can be applied to any bounded smooth pseudoconvex domain with other local geometric properties.
