Abstract

top
For a regular, compact, polynomially convex circled set K in C 2 , we construct a sequence of pairs { P n , Q n } of homogeneous polynomials in two variables with deg P n = deg Q n = n such that the sets K n : = { ( z , w ) ∈ C 2 : | P n ( z , w ) | ≤ 1 , | Q n ( z , w ) | ≤ 1 } approximate K and if K is the closure of a strictly pseudoconvex domain the normalized counting measures associated to the finite set { P n = Q n = 1 } converge to the pluripotential-theoretic Monge-Ampère measure for K . The key ingredient is an approximation theorem for subharmonic functions of logarithmic growth in one complex variable.
