Preface
This book is based on a series of lectures that I gave at the Geometry and Analysis Seminar held in the Mathematical Sciences Institute of the Australian National University in October–November, 2005. For some time now I have been interested in characterizations of complex manifolds by their holomorphic automorphism groups, and my lectures summarized the results that I obtained in this direction (on some occasions jointly with S. Krantz and N. Kruzhilin) for the class of Kobayashi-hyperbolic manifolds during 2000–2005, with the majority of results produced in 2004–2005. Here I give a coherent exposition (that includes complete proofs) of results describing hyperbolic manifolds for which the automorphism group dimensions are “sufficiently high” (this will be made precise in Chap. 1). The classification problem for hyperbolic manifolds with high-dimensional automorphism group can be thought of as a complex-geometric analogue of that for Riemannian manifolds with high-dimensional isometry group, which inspired many results in the 1950’s-70’s. Although the methods presented in the book are almost entirely different from those utilized in the Riemannian case, there i
