Overview
arXiv:2608.07551v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper studies incremental stability of holomorphic dynamical systems through the infinitesimal Kobayashi metric, an intrinsic pseudometric on complex manifolds invariant under holomorphic transformations and free of the coordinate dependence inherent in auxiliary Riemannian or Hermitian formulations. Contraction is formalized as an upper Dini-derivative inequality on the Kobayashi metric along trajectories; the passage from this differential condition to exponential distance contraction follows the classical Finsler-metric contraction mechanism of Forni and Sepulchre, instantiated here for the case in which the Finsler structure is the Kobayashi metric itself. Since the intrinsic condition is difficult to verify directly, a practical criterion is developed through a smooth Hermitian metric, the complex-Hermitian analogue of the classical real matrix contraction inequality: contraction with respect to such a metric implies intrinsic contraction on forward-invariant compact subsets, the two notions related through explicit local equivalence constants. Building on this, a Nagumo-type invariance result is established for Laplacian-coupled holomorphic networks, giving verifiable conditions for forward invariance in a class of systems not previously treated this way, and the framework extends to feedback-controlled holomorphic systems, with consequences for equilibria and periodic orbits following directly from intrinsic contraction. Numerical experiments on a network of coupled holomorphic oscillators verify the Hermitian condition analytically on a proven invariant set, and reveal that the observed synchronization rate substantially exceeds this guaranteed rate; the gap matches, to three decimal places, a closed-form combination of the node-wise rate and the network graph-Laplacian spectral gap, identified here as a target for a network-aware extension rather than resolved in full.
