When inclusion between two Kobayshi hyperbolic manifolds is distance decreasing?

Suppose that $X$ and $Y$ are two Kobayshi hyperbolic complex-analytic manifolds such that $X \subset Y$. It is known $d_Y(x_1, x_2) \leq d_X(x_1, x_2)$ for all $x_1, x_2 \in X$. In other words, the ...

Comparative between Kobayashi hyperbolicity and hyperbolicity in the sense of Koszul

In literature, there are several notions of hyperbolicity. My question is whether, for closed locally flat or affine manifolds, the notion of hyperbolicity in the sense of Kobayashi is equivalent to ...
