We study the pluripolar hulls of analytic sets. In particular, we show that hulls of graphs of analytic functions can be multiple sheeted and sheets can be separated by a set of zero dimension.

Let $𝒥$ be a coherent ideal sheaf on a complex manifold $X$ with zero set $Z$, and let $G$ be a plurisubharmonic function such that $G=log\left|f\right|+𝒪\left(1\right)$ locally at $Z$, where $f$ is a tuple of holomorphic functions that defines $𝒥$. We give a meaning to the Monge-Ampère products ${\left(d{d}^{c}G\right)}^k$ for $k=0,1,2,...$, and prove that the Lelong numbers of the currents $M_k^{𝒥}:={\mathbf{1}}_Z{\left(d{d}^{c}G\right)}^k$ at $x$ coincide with the so-called Segre numbers of $J$ at $x$, introduced independently by Tworzewski, Gaffney-Gassler, and Achilles-Manaresi. More generally, we show that $M_k^{𝒥}$ satisfy a certain generalization...

We prove the Hölder continuity for proper holomorphic mappings onto certain piecewise smooth pseudoconvex domains with "good" plurisubharmonic peak functions at each point of their boundaries. We directly obtain a quite precise estimate for the exponent from an attraction property for analytic disks. Moreover, this way does not require any consideration of infinitesimal metric.

Let $(X,\omega )$ be a compact Kähler manifold. We obtain uniform Hölder regularity for solutions to the complex Monge-Ampère equation on $X$ with $L^p$ right hand side, $p>1$. The same regularity is furthermore proved on the ample locus in any big cohomology class. We also study the range $(X,\omega )$ of the complex Monge-Ampère operator acting on $\omega$-plurisubharmonic Hölder continuous functions. We show that this set is convex, by sharpening Kołodziej’s result that measures with $L^p$-density belong to $(X,\omega )$ and proving that $(X,\omega )$ has the...

We consider the Dirichlet problem for the complex Monge-Ampère equation in a bounded strongly hyperconvex Lipschitz domain in ℂⁿ. We first give a sharp estimate on the modulus of continuity of the solution when the boundary data is continuous and the right hand side has a continuous density. Then we consider the case when the boundary value function is ${}^{1,1}$ and the right hand side has a density in $L^p\left(\Omega \right)$ for some p > 1, and prove the Hölder continuity of the solution.

We point out relations between Siciak’s homogeneous extremal function ${\Psi }_B$ and the Cauchy-Poisson transform in case $B$ is a ball in ℝ². In particular, we find effective formulas for ${\Psi }_B$ for an important class of balls. These formulas imply that, in general, ${\Psi }_B$ is not a norm in ℂ².

Let $f$ be a dominant rational map of ${\mathbb{P}}^k$ such that there exists $s\<k$ with ${\lambda }_s\left(f\right)\>{\lambda }_l\left(f\right)$ for all $l$. Under mild hypotheses, we show that, for $A$ outside a pluripolar set of $\mathrm{Aut}\left({\mathbb{P}}^k\right)$, the map $f\circ A$ admits a hyperbolic measure of maximal entropy $log{\lambda }_s\left(f\right)$ with explicit bounds on the Lyapunov exponents. In particular, the result is true for polynomial maps hence for the homogeneous extension of $f$ to ${\mathbb{P}}^{k+1}$. This provides many examples where non uniform hyperbolic dynamics is established.One of the key tools is to approximate the graph of a meromorphic...

We show that a bounded pseudoconvex domain D ⊂ ℂⁿ is hyperconvex if its boundary ∂D can be written locally as a complex continuous family of log-Lipschitz curves. We also prove that the graph of a holomorphic motion of a bounded regular domain Ω ⊂ ℂ is hyperconvex provided every component of ∂Ω contains at least two points. Furthermore, we show that hyperconvexity is a Hölder-homeomorphic invariant for planar domains.

We prove that every singular algebraic curve in ℝⁿ admits local tangential Markov inequalities at each of its points. More precisely, we show that the Markov exponent at a point of a real algebraic curve A is less than or equal to twice the multiplicity of the smallest complex algebraic curve containing A.

This paper is devoted to internal capacity characteristics of a domain D ⊂ ℂⁿ, relative to a point a ∈ D, which have their origin in the notion of the conformal radius of a simply connected plane domain relative to a point. Our main goal is to study the internal Chebyshev constants and transfinite diameters for a domain D ⊂ ℂⁿ and its boundary ∂D relative to a point a ∈ D in the spirit of the author's article [Math. USSR-Sb. 25 (1975), 350-364], where similar characteristics have been investigated...

Let $K$ be a compact subset of an hyperconvex open set $D\subset {ℂ}^n$, forming with D a Runge pair and such that the extremal p.s.h. function ω(·,K,D) is continuous. Let H(D) and H(K) be the spaces of holomorphic functions respectively on D and K equipped with their usual topologies. The main result of this paper contains as a particular case the following statement: if T is a continuous linear map of H(K) into H(K) whose restriction to H(D) is continuous into H(D), then the restriction of T to $H\left(D_{\alpha }\right)$ is a continuous...

The purpose of this paper is to present a concise survey of the main properties of biholomorphically invariant pluricomplex Green functions and to describe a number of new examples of such functions. A concept of pluricomplex geodesics is also discussed.
