Abstract: We generalize the inequality being a counterpart of the several complex variables version of the Suita conjecture. For this aim higher order generalizations of the Bergman kernel are introduced. As a corollary some new partial results on the dimension of the Bergman space in pseudoconvex domains are given. A relation between the problem of Wiegerinck on possible dimension of the Bergman space of unbounded pseudoconvex domains in general case and in the case of balanced domains is also shown. Moreover, some classes of domains where the answer to the problem of Wiegerinck is positive are given. Additionally, regularity properties of functions involving the volumes of Azukawa indicatrices are shown.


Let \(H= \sum_{|\alpha|=k} a_\alpha z^\alpha\) be a homogeneous polynomial of degree \(k\) and define the operator \(P_H\) as \(P_H (f) := \sum_{|\alpha|=k} a_\alpha D^\alpha f\). Then, for a given domain \(D\subset \mathbb C^n\), set \[ K^H_D (z):= \sup \big\{ |P_H (f) (z)|^2 \colon f^{(j)}(z)=0, j=0,\dots,k-1, f \in L^2_h (D), \|f\|_{L^2(D)} =1 \big\}, \] where \( L^2_h (D)\) denotes the space of holomorphic functions in \(L^2 (D)\). For \(H=1\), one recovers the definition of the Bergman kernel (restricted to the diagonal) \(K_D\). Assume that \(0\in D\) and denote by \(G\) the (pluri)complex Green function of (the complement of) \(D\) with pole at \(0\). The \emph{Azukawa indicatrix} (at \(0\)) is defined as \[ I_D(0) := \{ X \in \mathbb C^n \colon \limsup_{\lambda \to 0} G (\lambda X ) - \log |\lambda| <0 \}. \] The following is the main result of the paper. Theorem. Let \(0\in D\subset \mathbb C^n\) be a pseudoconvex domain and \(H\) be a homogeneous polynomial of degree \(k\). Then the function \[ [-\infty,0]\ni a \mapsto K^H_{D_a} (0) \] is non-decreasing, where \(D_a := e^{-a} \{G <a\}\) and \(D_{-\infty}:= I_D (0)\). In particular, \(K^H_{I_D(0)} (0) \leq K_D^H (0)\). This gives a generalization of the (higher-dimensional counterpart of the) Suita conjecture. The proof follows the approach developed in [the first author, Lect. Notes Math. 2116, 53--63 (2014; Zbl 1321.32003); Bull. Math. Sci. 4, No. 3, 433--480 (2014; Zbl 1310.32004); the authors, New York J. Math. 21, 151--161 (2015; Zbl 1317.32024)]. The authors deduce some consequences on the dimension of the Bergman space, which lead to a partial solution to a problem of \textit{J. J. O. O. Wiegerinck} [Math. Z. 187, 559--562 (1984; Zbl 0534.32001)]. They also introduce other sufficient conditions that guarantee a positive solution to this problem. Finally, they study the regularity of the function given by the volume of the Azukawa indicatrix.
