Holomorphic isometries from the Poincaré disk into bounded symmetric domains of rank at least two

We first study holomorphic isometries from the Poincaré disk into the product of the unit disk and the complex unit n-ball for n > 2. On the other hand, we observe that there exists a holomorphic isometry from the product of the unit disk and the complex unit n-ball into any irreducible bounded symmetric domain of rank > 2 which is not biholomorphic to any type-IV domain. In particular, our study provides many new examples of holomorphic isometries from the Poincaré disk into irreducible bounded symmetric domains of rank at least 2 except for type-IV domains.
