# What are the holomorphic automorphism groups of unit ball, polydisc, and Hartogs domain in C^n ( n>1)? [closed]

What are the holomorphic automorphism groups of unit ball, polydisc, and Hartogs domain in $$\mathbb{C}^n$$ ($$n>1$$) ? I would be pleased if you tell me.

• Have you tried looking them up, in Rudin's books for example? – Ben McKay Feb 10 at 15:13

An excellent reference for the geometry of the unit ball in $$\mathbb{C}^n$$ is W. Rudin, Function Theory in the Unit Ball of $$\mathbb{C}^n$$, Springer, 1970. If $$B \subset \mathbb{C}^n$$ is the unit ball, and we pick any $$a \in B$$, let $$P_a$$ be the orthogonal projection to the orthogonal complement of $$a$$ in the standard Hermitian metric on $$\mathbb{C}^n$$. Let $$Q_a=I-P_a$$. Let $$s_a=(1-|a|^2)^{1/2}$$. Let $$\phi_a(z)=\frac{a-P_a z - s_a Q_a z}{1-\left}.$$ Take any $$n \times n$$ unitary matrix $$U$$, and finally let $$F(z)=U\phi_a(z)$$. Then every automorphism of the ball is uniquely expressed as $$F$$ for some choice of $$U$$ and $$a$$, as Rudin proves (in the same notation) on pp. 25-28. Another excellent reference for the geometry in the ball is W. Goldman, Complex Hyperbolic Geometry, Oxford U. Press, 1999.
W. Rudin, Function Theory in Polydiscs, Benjamin, 1969, p. 167 proves that every automorphism of any polydisc $$\Delta^n$$ (with $$\Delta \subset \mathbb{C}$$ the open unit disc) is uniquely expressed as the composition of a permutation of the discs and an automorphism of each disk, which is a linear fractional transformation in $$SU(1,1)$$, as above.
