Deformations of strongly pseudoconvex domains

Abstract: We show that two smoothly bounded, strongly pseudoconvex domains which are diffeomorphic may be smoothly deformed into each other, with all intermediate domains being strongly pseudoconvex. This result relates to Lempert's ideas about Kobayashi extremal discs, and also has intrinsic interest.


The main theorem considers two smooth bounded and topologically trivial strictly pseudoconvex domains in \(\mathbb{C}^{n}\). Then one can be smoothly deformed into the other so that the intermediate domains are also smooth and strictly pseudoconvex. This latter property is of course the point of the theorem. The two main tools used are the Fornæss embedding theorem and the solution of a family of suitable \(\overline{\partial}\)--problems. The reviewer would like to point out that some of the arguments are not clear, in his opinion.
