Kobayashi complete domains in complex manifolds

Abstract

In this paper, we give sufficient conditions for Cauchy-completeness of Kobayashi hyperbolic domains in complex manifolds. The first result gives a sufficient condition for completeness for relatively compact domains in several large classes of manifolds. This follows from our second result, which may be of independent interest, in a much more general setting. This extends a result of Gaussier to the setting of manifolds.
