Let D be a bounded domain in Cn; in the space L2(D) of functions on D which are square-integrable with respect to the Lebesgue measure d2nz the holomorphic functions form a closed subspace H2(D). Therefore there exists a well-defined orthogonal projection PD: L2(D)H2(D) with an integral kernel KD:D × D → C, the Bergman kernel function of D. An explicit computation of this function directly from the definition is possible only in very few cases, as for instance the unit ball, the complex “ellipsoids” , or the annulus in the plane. Also, there is no hope of getting information about the function KD in the interior of a general domain. Therefore the question for an asymptotic formula for the Bergman kernel near the boundary of D arises.
