We establish an equidistribution result for the pull-back of a (1,1)-closed positive current in ℂ² by a proper polynomial map of small topological degree. We also study convergence at infinity on good compactifications of ℂ². We make use of a lemma that enables us to control the blow-up of some integrals in the neighborhood of a big logarithmic singularity of a plurisubharmonic function. Finally, we discuss the importance of the properness hypothesis, and we give some results in the case where this...

Let $K$ be a compact set in an open set $D$ on a Stein manifold $\Omega$ of dimension $n$. We denote by $H^{\infty }\left(D\right)$ the Banach space of all bounded and analytic in $D$ functions endowed with the uniform norm and by $A_K^D$ a compact subset of the space $C\left(K\right)$ consisted of all restrictions of functions from the unit ball ${𝔹}_{H^{\infty }\left(D\right)}$. In 1950ies Kolmogorov posed a problem: does$${\mathscr{H}}_{\epsilon }\left(A_K^D\right)\sim \tau {\left(ln\frac{1}{\epsilon }\right)}^{n+1},\epsilon \to 0,$$where ${\mathscr{H}}_{\epsilon }\left(A_K^D\right)$ is the $\epsilon$-entropy of the compact $A_K^D$. We give here a survey of results concerned with this problem and a related problem on the strict asymptotics of Kolmogorov diameters...

Let $K\subset Q$ be compact, convex sets in ${ℝ}^n$ with $\stackrel{\circ }{K}\ne \varnothing$ and let $P\left(D\right)$ be a linear, constant coefficient PDO. It is characterized in various ways when each zero solution of $P\left(D\right)$ in the space $ℰ\left(K\right)$ of all $C^{\infty }$-functions on $K$ extends to a zero solution in $ℰ\left(Q\right)$ resp. in $ℰ\left({ℝ}^n\right)$. The most relevant characterizations are in terms of Phragmén-Lindelöf conditions on the zero variety of $P$ in ${ℂ}^n$ and in terms of fundamental solutions for $P\left(D\right)$ with lacunas.

We study different notions of extremal plurisubharmonic functions.

A plurisubharmonic singularity is extreme if it cannot be represented as the sum of non-homothetic singularities. A complete characterization of such singularities is given for the case of homogeneous singularities (in particular, those determined by generic holomorphic mappings) in terms of decomposability of certain convex sets in ℝⁿ. Another class of extreme singularities is presented by means of a notion of relative type.

The Gleason problem is solved on real analytic pseudoconvex domains in ${\mathbf{C}}^2$. In this case the weakly pseudoconvex points can be a two-dimensional subset of the boundary. To reduce the Gleason problem to a $\bar{\partial }$ question it is shown that the set of Kohn-Nirenberg points is at most one-dimensional. In fact, except for a one-dimensional subset, the weakly pseudoconvex boundary points are $R$-points as studied by Range and therefore allow local sup-norm estimates for $\bar{\partial }$.

We prove that any positive function on ℂℙ¹ which is constant outside a countable $G_{\delta }$-set is the order function of a fundamental solution of the complex Monge-Ampère equation on the unit ball in ℂ² with a singularity at the origin.

We introduce a geometry on the cone of positive closed currents of bidegree $(p,p)$ and apply it to define the intersection of such currents. We also construct and study the Green currents and the equilibrium measure for horizontal-like mappings. The Green currents satisfy some extremality properties. The equilibrium measure is invariant, mixing and has maximal entropy. It is equal to the intersection of the Green currents associated to the horizontal-like map and to its inverse.
