Negatively curved K\"ahler metrics on total spaces of a class of vector bundles

Abstract

In this paper we show an abundance of complete K\"ahler metrics with negative holomorphic bisectional curvature on total spaces of certain vector bundles. Assume that such total spaces are endowed with a wider class of nonpositively curved K\"ahler metrics. We prove dimension estimates on holomorphic functions on these manifolds, as well as Liouville theorems for holomorphic mappings between them.
