We present a method for constructing global holomorphic peak functions from local holomorphic support functions for broad classes of unbounded domains. As an application, we establish a method for showing the positivity and completeness of invariant
metrics including the Bergman metric mainly for the unbounded domains.
We give a necessary complex geometric condition for a bounded smooth convex domain in Cn, endowed with the Kobayashi distance, to be Gromov hyperbolic. More precisely, we prove that if a smooth bounded convex domain contains an analytic disk in its b
oundary, then the domain is not Gromov hyperbolic for the Kobayashi distance. We also provide examples of bounded smooth convex domains that are not strongly pseudoconvex but are Gromov hyperbolic.
Let (M,J,w) be a manifold with an almost complex structure J tamed by a symplectic form w. We suppose that M has complex dimension two, is Levi convex and has bounded geometry. We prove that a real two-sphere with two elliptic points, embedded into t
he boundary of M may be foliated by the boundaries of pseudoholomorphic discs.
