Semialgebraic universal covers and bounded domains. Proves the Kollár–Pardon conjecture: the semialgebraic universal covers of connected normal projective complex varieties are exactly products $D\times\mathbb C^m\times F$, with D bounded symmetric and F simply connected, normal, and projective. A universal cover is quasi-projective exactly when the bounded symmetric factor is absent. In particular, a smooth projective variety covered by ℂn has a finite étale cover by an abelian variety.

We prove the Kollár–Pardon conjecture: the universal cover of a connected normal projective complex variety is biholomorphic to a semialgebraic open subset of a projective variety if and only if it is a product of a bounded symmetric domain, a complex affine space, and a simply connected normal projective variety.

Every nonempty connected semialgebraic bounded open subset of a complex affine variety admitting a properly discontinuous cocompact group of biholomorphisms is smooth and biholomorphic to a bounded symmetric domain. This answers the bounded-domain question of Kollár and Pardon affirmatively.
