Positivity of metrics on conic neighborhoods of 1-convex submanifolds

Abstract

Let [Formula: see text] be a holomorphic submersion from a complex manifold [Formula: see text] onto a 1-convex manifold [Formula: see text] with exceptional set [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] a holomorphic section. Let [Formula: see text] be a plurisubharmonic exhaustion function which is strictly plurisubharmonic on [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] For every holomorphic vector bundle [Formula: see text] there exists a neighborhood [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] conic along [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] can be endowed with Nakano strictly positive Hermitian metric. Let [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] be a given holomorphic function. There exist finitely many bounded holomorphic vector fields defined on a Stein neighborhood [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] conic along [Formula: see text] with zeroes of arbitrary high order on [Formula: see text] and such that they generate [Formula: see text] Moreover, there exists a smaller neighborhood [Formula: see text] such that their flows remain in [Formula: see text] for sufficiently small times thus generating a local dominating spray.
