Abstract: Let GsubsetmathbbC2 be a smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domain and assume that the Bergman kernel of G is algebraic of degree d. We show that the boundary partialG is of finite type and the type r satisfies rleq2d. The inequality is optimal as equality holds for the egg domains |z|2+|w|2s<1, sinmathbbZ+, by D'Angelo's explicit formula for their Bergman kernels. Our results imply, in particular, that a smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domain GsubsetmathbbC2 cannot have rational Bergman kernel unless it is strongly pseudoconvex and biholomorphic to the unit ball by a rational map. Furthermore, we show that if the Bergman kernel of G is rational of the form fracpq, reduced to lowest degrees, then its rational degree maxextdegp,extdegqgeq6. Equality is achieved if and only if G is biholomorphic to the unit ball by a complex affine transformation of mathbbC2.
