Asymptotic behavior of the Bergman kernel and associated invariants in weakly pseudoconvex domains
Ninh Van Thu
TL;DR
This work extends the Fefferman-type boundary analysis of Bergman-type invariants to weakly pseudoconvex domains by developing scaling methods anchored in Catlin's multitype and $h$-extendibility. It establishes explicit asymptotics for the Bergman kernel on the diagonal, the Bergman metric, and associated curvatures along sequences converging to strongly $h$-extendible or finite-type boundary points, using uniform $oldsymbol{ extLambda}$-tangential and spherical $rac{1}{2m}$-tangential convergences. The authors derive model-domain limits via anisotropic scalings that reduce to standard domains (Siegel half-spaces and the unit ball), and they prove localization of minimum integrals to transfer local boundary geometry into global invariant estimates. Key results include precise formulas for $K_ ext{Ω}(oldeta_j,oldeta_j)$, $d^2_ ext{Ω}(oldeta_j;oldsymbol{ extxi})$, and curvature limits as $j o\infty$, showing convergence to unit-ball values under the right tangential regimes. The findings illuminate how boundary geometry (strongly $h$-extendible vs. weakly pseudoconvex) governs the asymptotic behavior of Bergman invariants, with implications for several complex variables and several complex geometric analysis.
Abstract
In this paper, we present an explicit description for the boundary behavior of the Bergman kernel function, the Bergman metric, and the associated curvatures along certain sequences converging to an $h$-extendible boundary point.
