Boundary behavior of the Kobayashi metric near a point of infinite type

Abstract: Under a potential-theoretical hypothesis named

f

-Property with

f

satisfying

d i s p l a y s t y l e i n t_{t}^{i} n f t y d f r a c d a a f (a) < i n f t y

, we show that the Kobayashi metric

K (z, X)

on a weakly pseudoconvex domain

O m

, satisfies the estimate

K (z, X) g e C g (d e l t a_{O} m (x)^{- 1}) | X |

for any

X i n T^{1, 0} O m

where

(g (t))^{- 1}

denotes the above integral and

d e l t a_{O} m (z)

is the distance from

z

to

b O m

.
