A Gehring–Hayman Inequality for Strongly Pseudoconvex Domains

Abstract

We prove that if $D$ is a strongly pseudoconvex domain with $\mathcal C^{2, \alpha }$-smooth boundary, then the length of a geodesic for the Kobayashi–Royden infinitesimal metric between two points is bounded by a constant multiple of the Euclidean distance between the points.
