Complex product manifolds and bounds of curvature

Abstract: Let

M = X i m e s Y

be the product of two complex manifolds of positive dimensions. In this paper, we prove that there is no complete K"ahler metric

g

on

M

such that: either (i) the holomorphic bisectional curvature of

g

is bounded by a negative constant and the Ricci curvature is bounded below by

- C (1 + r^{2})

where

r

is the distance from a fixed point; or (ii)

g

has nonpositive sectional curvature and the holomorphic bisectional curvature is bounded above by

- B (1 + r^{2})^{- d e l t a}

and the Ricci curvature is bounded below by

- A (1 + r^{2})^{g} a m m a

where

A, B, g a m m a, d e l t a

are positive constants with

g a m m a + 2 d e l t a < 1

. These are generalizations of some previous results, in particular the result of Seshadri and Zheng.
