Let $A$ be a closed polar subset of a domain $D$ in $ℂ$. We give a complete description of the pluripolar hull ${\Gamma }_{D\times ℂ}^{*}$ of the graph $\Gamma$ of a holomorphic function defined on $D\setminus A$. To achieve this, we prove for pluriharmonic measure certain semi-continuity properties and a localization principle.

Let $C_{\alpha }$ be the Riesz capacity of order α, 0 < α < n, in ℝⁿ. We consider the Riesz capacity density $̲(C_{\alpha },E,r)=in{f}_{x\in ℝⁿ}{C}_{\alpha }\left(E\cap B(x,r)\right)/C_{\alpha }\left(B(x,r)\right)$ for a Borel set E ⊂ ℝⁿ, where B(x,r) stands for the open ball with center at x and radius r. In case 0 < α ≤ 2, we show that $li{m}_{r\to \infty }̲(C_{\alpha },E,r)$ is either 0 or 1; the first case occurs if and only if $̲(C_{\alpha },E,r)$ is identically zero for all r > 0. Moreover, it is shown that the densities with respect to more general open sets enjoy the same dichotomy. A decay estimate for α-capacitary potentials is also obtained.
