A smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domain with incomplete Kobayashi distance
Abstract
We construct a bounded pseudoconvex domain in $\C^3$ with $C^\infty$ boundary which is not Kobayashi complete. The domain has a smooth plurisubharmonic defining function, and its Carathéodory distance is also incomplete. We then prove that every bounded pseudoconvex domain with $C^\infty$ boundary of finite D'Angelo type is Kobayashi complete. Consequently, every bounded pseudoconvex domain with real-analytic boundary is Kobayashi complete. We also obtain quantitative lower estimates for the Kobayashi--Royden metric and the Kobayashi distance in the finite-type case.
