A non-strictly pseudoconvex domain for which the squeezing function tends to one towards the boundary

Abstract

In recent work by Zimmer it was proved that if $\Omega\subset\mathbb C^n$ is a bounded convex domain with $C^\infty$-smooth boundary, then $\Omega$ is strictly pseudoconvex provided that the squeezing function approaches one as one approaches the boundary. We show that this result fails if $\Omega$ is only assumed to be $C^2$-smooth.
