Streszczenie

For a domain D ⊂ ℂ the Kobayashi-Royden ϰ and Hahn h pseudometrics are equal iff D is simply connected. Overholt showed that for $D ⊂ ℂ^n$, n ≥ 3, we have $h_D ≡ ϰ_D$. Let D₁, D₂ ⊂ ℂ. The aim of this paper is to show that $h_{D₁ × D₂}$ iff at least one of D₁, D₂ is simply connected or biholomorphic to ℂ \ {0}. In particular, there are domains D ⊂ ℂ² for which $h_D ≢ ϰ_D$.
