Bounded domains on Kobayashi hyperbolic manifolds covering compact complex manifolds

Abstract

The lack of a uniformization theorem in several complex variables leads to a desire to classify all of the simply connected domains. We use established computational methods and a localization technique to generalize a recently-published classification. In particular, we show that if a domain with $C^{1,1}$ boundary on a Kobayashi hyperbolic complex manifold contains a totally real boundary point and covers a compact manifold, then its universal cover must be the Euclidean ball.
