Description
A (bounded) manifold of circular type is a complex manifold M of dimension n admitting a (bounded) exhaustive real function u, defined on M minus a point x_o, so that: a) it is a smooth solution on $M\setminus {x_o}$ to the Monge-Ampère equation $(d d^c u)^n = 0$; b) x_o is a singular point for u of logarithmic type and e^u extends smoothly on the blow up of M at x_o; c) $d d^c (e^u) >0$ at any point of $M\setminus {x_o}$. This class of manifolds naturally includes all smoothly bounded, strictly linearly convex domains and all smoothly bounded, strongly pseudoconvex circular domains of $\bC^n$. The moduli spaces of bounded manifolds of circular type are studied. In particular, for each biholomorphic equivalence class of them it is proved the existence of an essentially unique manifold in normal form. It is also shown that the class of normalizing maps for an n-dimensional manifold M is a new holomorphic invariant with the following property: it is parameterized by the points of a finite dimensional real manifold of dimension n^2 when M is a (non-convex) circular domain while it is of dimension $n^2 + 2 n$ when M is a strictly convex domain. New characterizations of the circular domains and of the unit ball are also obtained.
