Abstract

We give a general formula for the CC-transfinite diameter δC(K)\delta_C(K) of a compact set KC2K\subset \mathbb{C}^2 which is a product of univariate compacta where C(R+)2C\subset (\mathbb{R}^+)^2 is a convex body. Along the way we prove a Rumely type formula relating δC(K)\delta_C(K) and the CC-Robin function ρVC,K\rho_{V_{C,K}} of the CC-extremal plurisubharmonic function VC,KV_{C,K} for C(R+)2C \subset (\mathbb{R}^+)^2 a triangle Ta,bT_{a,b} with vertices (0,0),(b,0),(0,a)(0,0), (b,0), (0,a). Finally, we show how the definition of δC(K)\delta_C(K) can be extended to include many nonconvex bodies CRdC\subset \mathbb{R}^d for dd-circled sets KCdK\subset \mathbb{C}^d, and we prove an integral formula for δC(K)\delta_C(K) which we use to compute a formula for the CC-transfinite diameter of the Euclidean unit ball BC2\mathbb{B}\subset \mathbb{C}^2.
