The modified Calabi-Yau problems for CR-manifolds and applications

Abstract

In this paper, we derive a partial result related to a question of Yau: "Does a simply-connected complete Kähler manifold M with negative sectional curvature admit a bounded non-constant holomorphic function?" Main Theorem. Let $M^{2n}$ be a simply-connected complete Kähler manifold M with negative sectional curvature $\le -1$ and $S_{\infty }(M)$ be the sphere at infinity of $M$. Then there is an explicit {\it bounded} contact form $\beta$ defined on the entire manifold $M^{2n}$. Consequently, the sphere $S_{\infty }(M)$ at infinity of M admits a {\it bounded} contact structure and a bounded pseudo-Hermitian metric in the sense of Tanaka-Webster. We also discuss several open modified problems of Calabi and Yau for Alexandrov spaces and CR-manifolds.
