Abstract: Let D be a J-pseudoconvex region in a smooth almost complex manifold (M,J) of real dimension four. We construct a local peak J-plurisubharmonic function at every boundary point p of finite D'Angelo type. As applications we give local estimates of the Kobayashi pseudometric, implying the local Kobayashi hyperbolicity of D at p. In case the point p is of D'Angelo type less than or equal to four, or the approach is nontangential, we provide sharp estimates of the Kobayashi pseudometric.

Review text

This paper studies the geometry of four-dimensional almost complex manifolds. More precisely, the main theorem shows that if \(D\) is a smooth pseudoconvex region in such a manifold, and \(p\) is a point on the boundary of \(D\) with finite D'Angelo type, then there exists a local peak plurisubharmonic function at \(p\). This is shown to imply that \(D\) is locally Kobayashi hyperbolic at \(p\). If moreover the D'Angelo type is less than five, or if one approaches the boundary nontangentially, then the author proves sharp lower bounds for the Kobayashi distance. The proofs use a thorough analysis of \(J\)-holomorphic disks near \(p\).
