On the existence of Kobayashi and Bergman metrics for model domains

Abstract: We prove that for a pseudoconvex domain of the form

m a t h f r a k A = (z, w) i n m a t h b b C^{2} : v > F (z, u)

, where

w = u + i v

and F is a continuous function on

{m a t h b b C}_{z} i m e s {m a t h b b R}_{u}

, the following conditions are equivalent: (1) The domain

m a t h f r a k A

is Kobayashi hyperbolic. (2) The domain

m a t h f r a k A

is Brody hyperbolic. (3) The domain

m a t h f r a k A

possesses a Bergman metric. (4) The domain

m a t h f r a k A

possesses a bounded smooth strictly plurisubharmonic function, i.e. the core

m a t h f r a k c (m a t h f r a k A)

of

m a t h f r a k A

is empty. (5) The graph

G a m m a (F)

of

F

can not be represented as a foliation by holomorphic curves of a very special form, namely, as a foliation by translations of the graph

G a m m a (m a t h c a l H)

of just one entire function

m a t h c a l H : {m a t h b b C}_{z} o {m a t h b b C}_{w}

.
