Abstract.

We study the variation of the Berman metric K(t,ζ)|dζ|2 on the Riemann surface R(t) (which varies with complex parameter t in a disk B) such that π:B is a 2-dimensional Stein space with π−1(t)=R(t),tB. We show that log K(t,ζ)|dζ|2 is plurisubharmonic in , and apply it to give the uniformization condition for the special Stein space.
