Abstract: We obtain several results about stability of the Bergman kernel on a tower of coverings on complex manifolds. An effective version of Rhodes' result is given for a tower of coverings on a compact Riemann surface of genus greater than or equal to 2. Stability of the Bergman kernel is established for towers of coverings on hyperbolic Riemann surfaces and on complete Kaehler manifolds satisfying certain potential conditions. As a consequence, stability of the Bergman kernel is established for any tower of coverings of Riemann surfaces when the top manifold is simply-connected.


Let \(\widetilde M\) be a Riemannian manifold and let \(\Gamma\) be a free and properly discontinuous group of isometries of \(\widetilde M\). A tower of subgroups of \(\Gamma\) is a nested sequence of subgroups \(\Gamma=\Gamma_1\supset\Gamma_2\supset\dots\supset\Gamma_j\supset\dots\supset\bigcap\Gamma_j=\{\mathrm{id}\}\) such that \(\Gamma_j\) is a normal subgroup of \(\Gamma\) of finite index \([\Gamma:\Gamma_j]\) for each \(j\). The family of smooth manifolds \(M_j=\widetilde M/\Gamma_j\), equipped with the push-downs of the Riemannian metric on \(\widetilde M\), is called a tower of coverings on the Riemannian manifold \(M=\widetilde M/\Gamma\). \(\widetilde M\) is referred as the top manifold of the tower of coverings. In the paper under review the authors prove the following results. {\parindent=6mm \begin{itemize}\item[1.] Let \(M_j=\mathbb D/\Gamma_j\) be a tower of coverings on a compact Riemann surface of genus \(g\geq2\). Let \(\tau_j\) be the injectivity radius of \(M_j\) and let \(|\cdot |_{\mathrm{hyp}}\) be the pointwise length with respect to the hyperbolic metric. Then the Bergman kernel \(K_{M_j}\) of \(M_j\) satisfies \[ |4\pi|K_{M_j}|_{\mathrm{hyp}}-1|\leq\frac{12\cdot3^{2/3}}{\pi}(g-1)^{1/3}e^{-\tau_j/3}, \] when \(\tau_j\geq\log3\). Moreover, a similar estimate also holds for the Bergman metric. \item[2.] Let \(M\) and \(\widetilde M\) be complete Kähler manifolds with associated Kähler forms \(\omega\) and \(\widetilde\omega\), respectively. Let \(M_j=\widetilde M/\Gamma_j\) be a tower of coverings on \(M\). Then the tower is Bergman stable provided two certain potential conditions are satisfied. \end{itemize}} As a consequence of the last result the authors obtain the following.{\parindent=6mm \begin{itemize}\item[3.] Any tower of coverings of Riemann surfaces with a simply connected top manifold is Bergman stable. \end{itemize}}
