### The log term of the Szegö Kernel

#### Abstract

In this paper, we study the relations between the log term of the Szegö kernel of the unit circle bundle of the dual line bundle of an ample line bundle over a compact Kähler manifold. We prove a local rigidity theorem. The result is related to the classical Ramadanov conjecture.
