Abstract

Let K=RnCnK={\bf R}^n\subset {\bf C}^n and Q(x):=12log(1+x2)Q(x):=\frac{1}{2}\log (1+x^2) where x=(x1,...,xn)x=(x_1,...,x_n) and x2=x12++xn2x^2 = x_1^2+\cdots +x_n^2. Utilizing extremal functions for convex bodies in RnCn{\bf R}^n\subset {\bf C}^n and Sadullaev's characterization of algebraicity for complex analytic subvarieties of Cn{\bf C}^n we prove the following explicit formula for the weighted extremal function VK,QV_{K,Q}: VK,Q(z)=12log([1+z2]+{[1+z2]21+z22}1/2)V_{K,Q}(z)=\frac{1}{2}\log \bigl( [1+|z|^2] + \{ [1+|z|^2]^2-|1+z^2|^2\}^{1/2}) where z=(z1,...,zn)z=(z_1,...,z_n) and z2=z12++zn2z^2 = z_1^2+\cdots +z_n^2. As a corollary, we find that the Alexander capacity Tω(RPn)T_{\omega}({\bf R} {\bf P}^n) of RPn{\bf R} {\bf P}^n is 1/21/\sqrt 2. We also compute the Monge-Amp\`ere measure of VK,QV_{K,Q}: (ddcVK,Q)n=n!1(1+x2)n+12dx.(dd^cV_{K,Q})^n = n!\frac{1}{(1+x^2)^{\frac{n+1}{2}}}dx.
