We study the masses charged by ${\left(d{d}^{c}u\right)}^n$ at isolated singularity points of plurisubharmonic functions u. This is done by means of the local indicators of plurisubharmonic functions introduced in [15]. As a consequence, bounds for the masses are obtained in terms of the directional Lelong numbers of u, and the notion of the Newton number for a holomorphic mapping is extended to arbitrary plurisubharmonic functions. We also describe the local indicator of u as the logarithmic tangent to u.

We study questions related to exceptional sets of pluri-Green potentials $V_{\mu }$ in the unit ball B of ℂⁿ in terms of non-isotropic Hausdorff capacity. For suitable measures μ on the ball B, the pluri-Green potentials $V_{\mu }$ are defined by $V_{\mu }\left(z\right)={\int }_{B}log(1/|{\varphi }_z\left(w\right)\left|\right)d\mu \left(w\right)$, where for a fixed z ∈ B, ${\varphi }_z$ denotes the holomorphic automorphism of B satisfying ${\varphi }_z\left(0\right)=z$, ${\varphi }_z\left(z\right)=0$ and $\left({\varphi }_z\circ {\varphi }_z\right)\left(w\right)=w$ for every w ∈ B. If dμ(w) = f(w)dλ(w), where f is a non-negative measurable function of B, and λ is the measure on B, invariant under all holomorphic automorphisms of B, then $V_{\mu }$...
