Abstract

Given a pseudoconvex domain , we prove that there is a holomorphic function f on D such that the lengths of paths \(p:\ [0,1] \rightarrow D\) along which \(\mathfrak {R}f\) is bounded above, with p(0) fixed, grow arbitrarily fast as \(p(1)\rightarrow bD\). A consequence is the existence of a complete closed complex hypersurface \( M\subset D\) such that the lengths of paths \(p:\ [0,1]\rightarrow M\), with p(0) fixed, grow arbitrarily fast as \(p(1)\rightarrow bD\).
