Unit ball in C^n

Description

Let n≥1n \ge 1. The unit ball of ℂn\C^n is 𝔹n={z∈ℂn:∣z1∣2+⋯+∣zn∣2<1}.\mathbb{B}^n = \set{z \in \C^n : \abs{z_1}^2 + \cdots + \abs{z_n}^2 < 1}. It is the open ball of radius 11 about 00 for the norm ∣z∣=(∑j∣zj∣2)1/2\abs{z} = (\sum_j \abs{z_j}^2)^{1/2}. Writing zj=xj+iyjz_j = x_j + i y_j, the condition becomes ∑j(xj2+yj2)<1\sum_j (x_j^2 + y_j^2) < 1, so 𝔹n\mathbb{B}^n is the Euclidean unit ball of ℝ2n\R^{2n}.

Remarks

Its boundary is the unit sphere S2n−1={z:∣z∣=1}S^{2n-1} = \set{z : \abs{z} = 1}. It is a Reinhardt domain: if z∈𝔹nz \in \mathbb{B}^n and θj∈ℝ\theta_j \in \R, then (eiθ1z1,…,eiθnzn)(e^{i\theta_1} z_1, \dots, e^{i\theta_n} z_n) has the same norm, so it lies in 𝔹n\mathbb{B}^n. Every unitary map UU of ℂn\C^n preserves the norm, so it maps 𝔹n\mathbb{B}^n onto itself. For n=1n = 1 it is the unit disc, and for n≥2n \ge 2 it is not biholomorphic to the unit polydisc, by Poincaré's theorem.
