Off-diagonal Asymptotic Properties of Bergman Kernels Associated to Analytic Kähler Potentials

We prove a new off-diagonal asymptotic of the Bergman kernels associated to tensor powers of a positive line bundle on a compact Kähler manifold. We show that if the Kähler potential is real analytic, then the Bergman kernel accepts a complete asymptotic expansion in a neighborhood of the diagonal of shrinking size $k^{-\frac 14}$. These improve the earlier results in the subject for smooth potentials, where an expansion exists in a $k^{-\frac 12}$ neighborhood of the diagonal. We obtain our results by finding upper bounds of the form $C^m m!^{2}$ for the Bergman coefficients $b_m(x, \bar y)$, which is an interesting problem on its own. We find such upper bounds using the method of [3]. We also show that sharpening these upper bounds would improve the rate of shrinking neighborhoods of the diagonal x = y in our results. In the special case of metrics with local constant holomorphic sectional curvatures, we obtain off-diagonal asymptotic in a fixed (as $k \to \infty$) neighborhood of the diagonal, which recovers a result of Berman [2] (see Remark 3.5 of [2] for higher dimensions). In this case, we also find an explicit formula for the Bergman kernel mod $O(e^{-k \delta } )$.
