On the boundary behaviour of the squeezing function near linearly convex boundary points

Abstract

The purpose of this article is twofold. The first aim is to prove that if there exist a sequence $\{\varphi_j\}\subset \mathrm{Aut}(\Omega)$ and $a\in \Omega$ such that $\lim_{j\to\infty}\varphi_j(a)=\xi_0$ and $\lim_{j\to\infty}\sigma_\Omega(\varphi_j(a))=1$, where $\xi_0$ is a linearly convex boundary point of finite type, then $\xi_0$ must be strongly pseudoconvex. Then, the second aim is to investigate the boundary behaviour of the squeezing function of a general ellipsoid.
