On the Asymptotic Behavior of Complete Kähler Metrics of Positive Ricci Curvature

Abstract

AbstractLet (X, g) be a complete noncompact Kähler manifold, of dimension n ≥ 2, with positive Ricci curvature and of standard type (see the definition below). N. Mok proved that X can be compactified, i.e., X is biholomorphic to a quasi-projective variety. The aim of this paper is to prove that the L2 holomorphic sections of the line bundle K−qXand the volume form of the metric g have no essential singularities near the divisor at infinity. As a consequence we obtain a comparison between the volume forms of the Kähler metric g and of the Fubini-Study metric induced on X. In the case of dimC X = 2, we establish a relation between the number of components of the divisor D and the dimension of the.
