In this note we consider radially symmetric plurisubharmonic functions and the complex Monge-Ampère operator. We prove among other things a complete characterization of unitary invariant measures for which there exists a solution of the complex Monge-Ampère equation in the set of radially symmetric plurisubharmonic functions. Furthermore, we prove in contrast to the general case that the complex Monge-Ampère operator is continuous on the set of radially symmetric plurisubharmonic functions. Finally...

For certain ensembles of random polynomials we give the expected value of the zero distribution (in one variable) and the expected value of the distribution of common zeros of m polynomials (in m variables).

We describe a part of the recent developments in the theory of separately holomorphic mappings between complex analytic spaces. Our description focuses on works using the technique of holomorphic discs.

We prove that plurisubharmonic solutions to certain boundary blow-up problems for the complex Monge-Ampère operator are Lipschitz continuous. We also prove that in certain cases these solutions are unique.

A subset K of ℂⁿ is said to be regular in the sense of pluripotential theory if the pluricomplex Green function (or Siciak extremal function) $V_K$ is continuous in ℂⁿ. We show that K is regular if the intersections of K with sufficiently many complex lines are regular (as subsets of ℂ). A complete characterization of regularity for Reinhardt sets is also given.

The aim of the paper is to establish some results on pluripolar hulls and to define pluripolar hulls of certain graphs.

The necessary and sufficient condition that a given plurisubharmonic or a subharmonic function admits the representation by the logarithmic potential (up to pluriharmonic or a harmonic term) is obtained in terms of the Radon transform. This representation is applied to the problem of representation of analytic functions by products of primary factors.

Given a compact set $K\subset {ℂ}^N$, for each positive integer n, let $V^{\left(n\right)}\left(z\right)$ = $V_K^{\left(n\right)}\left(z\right)$ := sup$1/\left(degp\right)V_{p\left(K\right)}\left(p\left(z\right)\right)$: p holomorphic polynomial, 1 ≤ deg p ≤ n. These “extremal-like” functions $V_K^{\left(n\right)}$ are essentially one-variable in nature and always increase to the “true” several-variable (Siciak) extremal function, $V_K\left(z\right)$:= max[0, sup1/(deg p) log|p(z)|: p holomorphic polynomial, ${\left|\right|p\left|\right|}_K\le 1$]. Our main result is that if K is regular, then all of the functions $V_K^{\left(n\right)}$ are continuous; and their associated Robin functions ${\varrho }_{V_K^{\left(n\right)}}\left(z\right):=limsu{p}_{\left|\lambda \right|\to \infty }[V_K^{\left(n\right)}\left(\lambda z\right)-log\left(\right|\lambda \left|\right)]$ increase to ${\varrho }_K:={\varrho }_{V_K}$ for all z outside a pluripolar set....
