Kobayashi-Royden pseudometric on contractible surfaces
Abstract
We describe a family of smooth contractible algebraic surfaces X different from 2 such that X admits dominant holomorphic maps from 2 and there is a unique line E in X for which the Kobayashi-Royden pseudometric vanishes on the tangent bundle over X E.
