Abstract

Based on a well known Sh.-T. Yau theorem we obtain that the real part of a holomorphic function on a Kähler manifold with the Ricci curvature bounded from below by \(-1\) is contractive with respect to the distance on the manifold and the hyperbolic distance on \((-1,1)\) inhered from the domain \((-1,1)\times \mathbb {R}\). Moreover, in the case of bounded holomorphic functions we prove that the modulus is contractive with respect to the distance on the manifold and the hyperbolic distance on the unit disk.
