The Symmetrized Bidisc and Lempert's Theorem

Abstract: Let G ⊆ C 2 be the open symmetrized bidisc, namely G = {(λ 1 + λ 2 , λ 1 λ 2 ) : |λ 1 | < 1, |λ 2 | < 1}. In this paper, a proof is given that G is not biholomorphic to any convex domain in C 2 . By combining this result with earlier work of Agler and Young, the author shows that G is a bounded domain on which the Carathéodory distance and the Kobayashi distance coincide, but which is not biholomorphic to a convex set.
