The authors give a new, direct, and elementary construction of the asymptotic expansion with respect to \(k\) of the Bergman kernel associated to a high power \(L^k\) of a positive line bundle \(L\) over a compact complex manifold. Previously, S. Zelditch [Int. Math. Res. Not. 1998, No. 6, 317–331 (1998; Zbl 0922.58082)] and D. Catlin [Trends in Mathematics, 1–23 (1999; Zbl 0941.32002)] obtained such an asymptotic expansion by applying work of L. Boutet de Monvel and J. Sjöstrand [Astérisque 34–35, 123–164 (1976; Zbl 0344.32010)] concerning asymptotic expansions of kernels on strictly pseudoconvex domains. This article uses instead some ideas from a book of the third author [Astérisque 95, 1–166 (1982; Zbl 0524.35007)] to compute local asymptotic Bergman kernels on small coordinate patches. The positivity hypothesis implies that the global Bergman kernel is asymptotically equal to the local kernels.
