Kähler-Finsler rigidity of the Kobayashi metric and the Kähler base of weakly Kähler-Finsler metrics

Abstract

In this paper, we establish a rigidity theorem: for every balanced, smooth, bounded pseudoconvex domain, its Kobayashi metric is a smooth, strongly pseudoconvex, Kähler-Finsler metric restricted on a neighborhood of the origin if and only if the domain is a Hermitian ellipsoid, biholomorphic to the unit ball. Thus for any balanced, smooth, bounded, strictly convex, and strongly pseudoconvex domain that is not biholomorphic to the unit ball, its Kobayashi metric is a non-Kähler-Finsler, weakly Kähler-Finsler metric. We also prove that the base manifold of every weak Kähler-Finsler metric is Kähler.

Normality Criteria for Quasimeromorphic Mappings: Avoidance and Sharing

We establish normality criteria for families of quasimeromorphic mappings in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), \(n\geq 2\), based on the avoidance and sharing of continuous functions. We first establish a rescaling principle for sequences of continuous functions and use it to derive a higher-dimensional analogue of Lappan's avoidance criterion. We then obtain normality criteria based on the sharing of continuous functions. In particular, we prove that a family of \(K\)-quasimeromorphic mappings sharing \(q_0(n,K)+1\) mutually disjoint continuous functions is normal, where \(q_0(n,K)\) is the corresponding quasiregular Picard constant. We further consider sequences of quasimeromorphic mappings sharing sequences of continuous functions with a normal comparison sequence and establish a corresponding normality criterion, together with an improved bound under an additional separation condition on the limiting functions. Finally, we derive applications to normal quasiregular mappings into \(\mathbb{S}^n\).

A new class of smooth algebraic varieties with the density property and a counterexample to the Tóth-Varolin Conjecture

We prove that the smooth affine hypersurfaces \[ X_{m,n}=\{ζ^mz_0^n+ (1+z_1ζ)z_2+ζz_3^2=1\}\subset\mathbb{C}^5,\;\; m,n\geq 2, \] have the density property. For every odd integer $d\geq 3$, we identify $X_{d-1,d}$ with a Kaliman modification along a Brieskorn variety of type $(d,2,2,2)$. We prove that the fourfolds $X_{d-1,d}$ are diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{C}^4$ but not biholomorphic to $\mathbb{C}^4$. These, therefore, give counterexamples to the Tóth-Varolin conjecture.
