Abstract

We prove Schwarz-Pick lemma for bounded and strictly positive pluriharmonic functions in the unit polydisc in ℂn. We give a distance estimate in terms of Kobayashi metric as well as estimates on the gradient and \(\mathcal {M}\)-invariant real gradient of such functions. All of our estimates are sharp.
