In the theory of functions of several complex variables one is naturally led to study non-compact complex manifolds which have certain types of exhaustions. For example, on a Stein manifold X there is a strictly plurisubharmonic function ϕ: X → R+ so that the pseudoballs Bc = {φ < c } exhaust X. Conversely, a manifold which has such an exhaustion is Stein. The purpose of this note is to study a class of manifolds which have exhaustions along the lines of those on holomorphically convex manifolds, namely the k-Leviflat complex manifolds. Unlike the Stein case, the Levi form may have positive dimensional 0-eigenspaces. In the holomorphically convex case these are tangent to the generic fiber of the Remmert reduction.
