Characterization of Reinhardt domains by their automorphism groups

Alexander V. Isaev and Steven G. Krantz

The Australian National University and Washington University

Abstract

We survey results, obtained in the past three years, on characterizing bounded (and Kobayashi-hyperbolic) Reinhardt domains by their automorphism groups. Specifically, we consider the following two situations: (i) the group is non-compact, and (ii) the dimension of the group is sufficiently large. In addition, we prove two theorems on characterizing general hyperbolic complex manifolds by the dimensions of their automorphism groups.

Keywords: Reinhardt domains, hyperbolic complex manifolds, automorphism groups, equivalence problem
