On several problems in p-Bergman theory

In this paper, we first answer Chen-Zhang's problem on $p$-Bergman metric proposed in \cite{CZ22}. Second, we prove the off-diagonal p-Bergman kernel function $K_p(z,w)$ is H\"older continuous of order (1-$\varepsilon$) about the second component when $p>1$ for any $\varepsilon>0$, which improves the corresponding result of Chen-Zhang. Moreover, we prove the asymptotic behavior of the maximizer of $p$-Bergman kernel as $p\rightarrow 1^-$. Finally, we give a characterization of a class of holomorphic functions on $\mathbb{B}^1$ to be $L^p$-integrable.Comment: 10 page

Taiwan`s domestic politics since the presidential elections 2000

This paper looks at several developments that have taken place in domestic politics on Taiwan since the election of Chen Shui-bian as president of the Republic of China on Taiwan in 1998. After discussing the political successes and failures of the incumbent Chen administration, it analyses its strategy in dealing with the consequences of divided government. Some of the problems encountered by the administration are traced to changes in the political system of Taiwan that took place during the presidency of Lee Teng-hui. The paper also deals with the new role of the president as chief executive and functioning of the legislative. Finally, the reaction of the major political parties to the changes in the political situation is explored. --Taiwan,domestic politics,divided government,political system,party system,Chen Shui-bian,Lee Teng-hui
