Abstract

A quantitative version of strong localization of the Kobayashi, Azukawa and Sibony metrics, as well as of the squeezing function, near a plurisubharmonic peak boundary point of a domain in \({\mathbb {C}}^n\) is given. As an application, the behavior of these metrics near a strictly pseudoconvex boundary point is studied. A weak localization of the three metrics and the squeezing function is also given near a plurisubharmonic antipeak boundary point.

Notes

  1. In fact, we need a weaker assumption on the respective antipeak function \(\varphi :\) \(\limsup _{z\rightarrow p}\varphi (z)<\inf _{D{\setminus } U}\varphi \) for any neighborhood U of p.
