AbstractIn this article we study holomorphic isometries of the Poincare disk into bounded symmetric domains. Earlier we solved the problem of analytic continuation of germs of holomorphic maps between bounded domains which are isometries up to normalizing constants with respect to the Bergman metric, showing in particular that the graph V0 of any germ of holomorphic isometry of the Poincaré disk Δ into an irreducible bounded symmetric domain Ω {double subset} ℂN in its Harish-Chandra realization must extend to an affine-algebraic subvariety V C ⊂ = ℂ×ℂN = ℂN+1, and that the irreducible component of V∩(Δ×Ω) containing V0 is the graph of a proper holomorphic isometric embedding F: Δ → Ω. In this article we study holomorphic isometric embeddings which are asymptotically geodesic at a general boundary point b ∈ δΔ. Starting with the structural equation for holomorphic isometries arising from the Gauss equation, we obtain by covariant differentiation an identity relating certain holomorphic bisectional curvatures to the boundary behavior of the second fundamental form a of the holomorphic isometric embedding. Using the nonpositivity of holomorphic bisectional curvatures on a bounded symmetric domain, we prove that ∥ρ∥ must vanish at a general boundary point either to the order 1 or to the order 1/2 called a holomorphic isometry of the first resp. second kind. We deal with special cases of non-standard holomorphic isometric embeddings of such maps, showing that they must be asymptotically totally geodesic at a general boundary point and in fact of the first kind whenever the target domain is a Cartesian product of complex unit balls. We also study the boundary behavior of an example of holomorphic isometric embedding from the Poincare disk into a Siegel upper half-plane by an explicit determination of the boundary behavior of holomorphic sectional curvatures in the directions tangent to the embedded Poincare disk, showing that the map is indeed asymptotically totally geodesic at a general boundary point and of the first kind. For the metric computation we make use of formulas for symplectic geometry on Siegel upper half-planes. © 2009 Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics.
