Remarks on the metric induced by the Robin function. II

Publication date 19 November 2013

Abstract: Let

D

be a smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domain in

m a t h b f C^{n}

,

n > 1

. Using the Robin function

L a (p)

that arises from the Green function

G (z, p)

for

D

with pole at

p i n D

associated with the standard sum-of-squares Laplacian, N. Levenberg and H. Yamaguchi had constructed a K"{a}hler metric (the so-called

L a

-metric) on

D

. Assume that

D

is strongly pseudoconvex and

d s^{2}

denotes the

L a

-metric on

D

. In this article, first we prove that the holomorphic sectional curvature of

d s^{2}

along normal directions converges to a negative constant near the boundary of

D

. Then, we prove that if

D

is not simply connected, then any nontrivial homotopy class of

p i_{1} (D)

contains a closed geodesic for

d s^{2}

. Finally, we prove that the diminesion of the space of square integrable harmonic

(p, q)

-forms on

D

relative to

d s^{2}

is zero except when

p + q = n

in which case it is infinite.
