TAMED EXHAUSTION FUNCTIONS AND SCHWARZ TYPE LEMMAS FOR ALMOST HERMITIAN MANIFOLDS

In this paper, we study a special exhaustion function on almost Hermitian manifolds and establish the existence result by using the Hessian comparison theorem. From the viewpoint of the exhaustion function, we establish a related Schwarz type lemma for almost holomorphic maps between two almost Hermitian manifolds. As corollaries, we deduce several versions of Schwarz and Liouville type theorems for almost holomorphic maps.
