Abstract
We show that for bounded domains in with smooth boundary, if there is a closed set of -Lebesgue measure such that is -smooth and locally pseudoconvex at every point, then is globally pseudoconvex. Unlike in the globally -smooth case, the condition `` of (relative) empty interior'' is not enough to obtain such a result. We also give some results under peak-set type hypotheses, which in particular provide a new proof of an old result of Grauert and Remmert about removable sets for pseudoconvexity under minimal hypotheses of boundary regularity.
