Local Rigidity of the Bergman Metric and of the K\"ahler Carath\'eodory Metric

Abstract

We prove that if the Carath\'eodory metric on a strictly pseudoconvex domain with a smooth boundary is locally K\"{a}hler near the boundary, then the domain is biholomorphic to a ball. We also establish a local rigidity theorem for domains with Bergman metrics of constant holomorphic sectional curvature, and highlight this relationship with the Lu constant.
