Inspired by work of Lempert on strongly convex domains, we present results on strongly pseudoconvex domains. We also consider a useful biholomorphic invariant, inspired by the Kobayashi (and Carath\\'{e}odory) metric, and prove several new results about biholomorphic equivalence of domains. Some useful results about automorphism groups of complex domains are also established.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-09-05T17:44:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "32E05", "32H02", "32T27", "32T05" ], "keywords": [ "kobayashi metric", "biholomorphic mappings", "study extremal discs", "biholomorphic equivalence", "strongly convex domains" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0909.1041K" } } }
