Abstract
Let Ω be a pseudoconvex domain in \(\mathbb C^{n}\) satisfying an f -property for some function f. We show that the Bergman metric associated with Ω has the lower bound \(\tilde {g}(\delta _{\Omega }(z)^{-1})\) where δΩ(z) is the distance from z to the boundary ∂Ω and \(\tilde g\) is a specific function defined by f. This refines Khanh–Zampieri’s work in Khanh and Zampieri (Invent. Math. 188, 729–750, 2012) with weaker smoothness assumption of the boundary.
