DOMAINS WHICH ARE LOCALLY UNIFORMLY LINEARLY CONVEX IN THE KOBAYASHI DISTANCE ´ MONIKA BUDZYNSKA Received 2 October 2001 We show a construction of domains in complex reflexive Banach spaces which are locally uniformly convex in linear sense in their Kobayashi distance. We also show connections between norm and Kobayashi distance properties. 1. Introduction Recently, in [1], it has been proved that if B is an open unit ball in a Cartesian product l2 × l2 furnished with the lp -norm · and kB is the Kobayashi dis- tance on B, then the metric space (B,kB ) is locally uniformly convex in linear sense. Our construction of domains, which are locally uniformly convex in their Kobayashi distances, is based on the ideas from [1]. Such domains play an im- portant role in the fixed-point theory of holomorphic mappings (see [ 1, 2, 4, 13, 14]). In Section 4, we show connections between norm and Kobayashi distance properties. 2. Preliminaries Throughout this paper, all Banach spaces X will be complex and reflexive, all domains D ⊂ X bounded and convex, and kD will denote the Kobayashi distance on D [6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12]. We will use the notions and notations from [2]. Here, we recall a few facts only. The Kobayashi distance kD is locally equivalent to the norm · [9]. Indeed, if dist·(x,∂D ) denotes the distance in (X, · ) between the point x and the boundary ∂D of the domain D, and diam· D is the diameter of D in (X, · ), Copyright © 2003 Hindawi Publishing Corporation Abstract and Applied Analysis 2003:8 (2003) 513–519 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 32A10, 46G20 URL: /10.1155/S1085337503212070 514 Locally uniformly linearly convex domains then x −y argtanh ≤ kD (x, y ) (2.1) diam· D for all x, y ∈ D and
