The Gromov-hyperbolic tube-domain ball conjecture

About 6 years old · traced to

Let d≥1d\geq 1, let C⊂R⁡dC\subset\operatorname{\mathbb{R}}^d be a convex domain, and let

Ω=C+iR⁡d\Omega=C+i\operatorname{\mathbb{R}}^d

be its tube domain. Assume that (Ω,KΩ)(\Omega,K_\Omega) is Gromov hyperbolic; equivalently, CC is unbounded and (C,HC)(C,H_C) is Gromov hyperbolic. Gromov-hyperbolic tube-domain conjecture. The domain Ω\Omega is biholomorphic to a bounded convex domain if and only if it is biholomorphic to the unit ball.

For unbounded bases, the source describes the situation as more mysterious and gives a non-homogeneous example of a tube domain biholomorphic to a bounded convex domain whose Kobayashi metric is not Gromov hyperbolic. Thus the conjecture isolates the Gromov-hyperbolic case, but the source provides no resolution.
