The squeezing function: exact computations, optimal estimates, and a new application

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We present a new application of the squeezing function sD, using which one may detect when a given bounded pseudoconvex domain DvarsubsetneqmathbbCn, ngeq2, is not biholomorphic to any product domain. One of the ingredients used in establishing this result is also used to give an exact computation of the squeezing function (which is a constant) of any bounded symmetric domain. This extends a computation by Kubota to the exceptional bounded symmetric domains and to any Cartesian product of Cartan domains at least one of which is an exceptional domain. A few optimal estimates for the squeezing function are also presented. Lastly, we identify a family of bounded domains that are holomorphic homogeneous regular.


The paper under review contains several results related to the squeezing function. In Theorem 1.1, the squeezing function is used to detect when a given bounded pseudoconvex domain is not biholomorphic to any product domain. In Theorem 1.3, the squeezing constant for any bounded symmetric domain is given. In Theorem 1.5, the optimal estimates for the squeezing function for a collection of domains that are associated with the bounded symmetric domains are given. In Theorem 1.6, it is shown that a bounded, starlike weakly linearly convex domain is holomorphic homogeneous regular. It should be pointed out that Theorem 1.3 was already proven in a unified way some forty years ago in [\textit{M. Rigoli} and \textit{G. Travaglini}, Lect. Notes Math. 992, 387--390 (1983; Zbl 0552.32020)].
