Estimates of the Kobayashi-Royden metric in almost complex manifolds. (English) Zbl 1083.32011

A lower estimate is obtained for the Kobayashi-Royden infinitesimal metric on an almost complex manifold \((M,J)\): if \(\rho\) is a \(C^2\) defining function of a relatively compact domain \(D= \{\rho< 0\}\), strictly \(J\)-plurisubharmonic near \(\overline D\), then \[ K_{(D,J)}(p,v)\geq c\Biggl[{|\partial_J\rho(p)(v- iJ(p)v)|^2\over |\rho(p)|^2}+ {\| v\|\over|\rho(p)}\Biggr]^{1/2} \] for all \(p\in D\) and \(v\in T_pM\).
As a consequence, every point of \(M\) has a basis of complete hyperbolic neighbourhoods.
