Abstract

We introduce a new curvature constraint that provides an analog of the real bisectional curvature considered by Yang–Zheng [28] for the Aubin–Yau inequality. A unified perspective of the various forms of the Schwarz lemma is given, leading to novel Schwarz-type inequalities in both the Kähler and Hermitian categories.
