Abstract

We prove that the zero set of a nonnegative plurisubharmonic function that solves det(u)1\det (\partial \overline{\partial} u) \geq 1 in Cn\mathbb{C}^n and is in W2,n(nk)kW^{2, \frac{n(n-k)}{k}} contains no analytic sub-variety of dimension kk or larger. Along the way we prove an analogous result for the real Monge-Amp\`ere equation, which is also new. These results are sharp in view of well-known examples of Pogorelov and B{\l}ocki. As an application, in the real case we extend interior regularity results to the case that uu lies in a critical Sobolev space (or more generally, certain Sobolev-Orlicz spaces).
