Arithmetic properties and zeros of the Bergman kernel on a class of quotient domains
An effective formula for the Bergman kernel on $\mathbb{H}_γ = \{|z_1|^γ< |z_2| < 1 \}$ is obtained for rational $γ= \frac{m}{n} >1$. The formula depends on arithmetic properties of $γ$, which uncovers new symmetries and clarifies previous results. The formulas are then used to study the Lu Qi-Keng problem. We produce sequences of rationals $γ_j \searrow 1$, where each $\mathbb{H}_{γ_j}$ has a Bergman kernel with zeros (while $\mathbb{H}_1$ is known to have a zero-free kernel), resolving an open question on this domain class.
