If X is a complex space, the Kobayashi pseudo-distance dx is an intrinsic pseudometric on X defined as follows. If p and q are points of X, a chain α from p to q consists of intermediate points p0, …, pr with p0 = p and pr = q together with maps fi of the unit disc D = {zClz| < 1} into X and points ai and bi in D such that fi(ai) = Pi−1 and fi(bi) = pi for i = 1, …, r.
