Mappings of bounded distortion between complex manifolds

From MaRDI portal





Let \(f: \mathbb{C}^n \rightarrow N\) be a holomorphic map to a complete Kähler manifold \(N\) of dimension \(n\). If \(N\) is negatively curved, the classical Schwarz lemma states that \(f\) should be constant. In this article, the authors study the dual case, i.e., \(N\) is positively curved. Obviously, in this case, \(f\) is not necessarily constant for arbitrary holomorphic maps. The authors study the functions which have the \(s\)-distortion property: a smooth map \(f\) is said to have bounded \(s\)-distrotion if \(|d f (x)|^s \leq K J(x,f) \) for an uniform constant \(K\), where \(| \cdot |\) is the norm of the map \(f\), and \(J(x, f)\) is the Jacobian. The notion of distrotion can be seen as a generalization of quasiconformality (if \(f\) has bounded \(2n\)-distrotion, then \(f\) is quasiconformal). The main theorem of the article is as follows. Let \(f: \mathbb{C}^n \rightarrow N\) be a holomorphic map to a complete Kähler manifold \(N\) of dimension \(n\). If \(f\) has bounded \(2s\)-distrotion and \(T^*N\otimes (K_N ^*)^{\frac{1}{s}}\) is Griffiths positive, then \(f\) is constant.
