Abstract

In an influential L2L^2 extension theorem due to Demailly, the finiteness of an L2L^2 norm called the Ohsawa norm determines whether a given holomorphic function can be extended. This result has been further generalized by Zhou and Zhu to the case when the quasi-plurisubharmonic defining function of the subvariety has non-analytic singularities. We show that, however, there exist many instances of such defining functions for which only the zero function has finite Ohsawa norm, so that the L2L^2 extension statement is void in such cases, even when it has a unique log canonical place. Such a defining function occurs already among some of the simplest non-analytic singularities, namely toric ones.
