Boundary behavior of the Kobayashi distance in pseudoconvex Reinhardt domains

Abstract

We prove that the Kobayashi distance near boundary of a pseudoconvex Reinhardt domain $D$ increases asymptotically at most like $-\log d_D+C$. Moreover, for boundary points from $\text{int}\bar{D}$ the growth does not exceed $1/2\log(-\log d_D)+C$. The lower estimate by $-1/2\log d_D+C$ is obtained under additional assumptions of $\mathcal C^1$-smoothness of a domain and a non-tangential convergence.
