The polydisk theorem for Hartogs domains over symmetric domains

Abstract

We extend the polydisk theorem of [21], originally established for classical Cartan-Hartogs domains, to Hartogs domains over arbitrary (possibly reducible and exceptional) bounded symmetric domains. We further establish a dual counterpart of this result. As an application, we show that the dual of a Hartogs domain over a bounded symmetric domain admits no totally geodesic immersion into any compact Riemannian manifold, thereby broadening the rigidity phenomena obtained in [13].
