Abstract

Off-diagonal upper bounds are established for Bergman kernels associated to powers \(L^\lambda \) of holomorphic line bundles L over compact complex manifolds, asymptotically as the power \(\lambda \) tends to infinity. The line bundle is assumed to be equipped with a Hermitian metric with positive curvature form, which is \(C^\infty \) but not necessarily real analytic. The bounds are of the form \(\exp (-h(\lambda )\sqrt{\lambda \log \lambda })\) where h tends to infinity at a non-universal rate. This form is best possible.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The other alternative asserts that u is \(C^\omega \), microlocally outside a conic neighborhood of one of the two ray bundles whose union is the characteristic variety of \({\bar{\partial }}_b\). This implies holomorphic extendibility to an appropriate wedge, and the above reasoning may then be repeated to gain the factor \(\exp (-c\lambda )\).

  2. 2.

    Subtraction of the pluriharmonic second degree terms is natural, but is inessential here.
