Gap theorem on Kähler manifolds with nonnegative orthogonal bisectional curvature

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper we prove a gap theorem for Kähler manifolds with nonnegative orthogonal bisectional curvature and nonnegative Ricci curvature, which generalizes an earlier result of the first author [L. Ni, An optimal gap theorem, Invent. Math. 189 2012, 3, 737–761]. We also prove a Liouville theorem for plurisubharmonic functions on such a manifold, which generalizes a previous result of L.-F. Tam and the first author [L. Ni and L.-F. Tam, Plurisubharmonic functions and the structure of complete Kähler manifolds with nonnegative curvature, J. Differential Geom. 64 2003, 3, 457–524] and complements a recent result of Liu [G. Liu, Three-circle theorem and dimension estimate for holomorphic functions on Kähler manifolds, Duke Math. J. 165 2016, 15, 2899–2919].
