We derive a sufficient condition on a bounded pseudoconvex domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}^2$ with smooth boundary such that $-(-\rho)^\eta$ is plurisubharmonic on $\Omega$ for $\eta>0$ arbitrarily close to $1$ (the supremum of $\eta$ is…

For a relatively compact Stein domain $\Omega$ with $C^2$ boundary in a Hermitian manifold $M$, we consider the strong Diederich-Forn{\ae}ss index, denoted $DF(\Omega)$: the supremum of all exponents $0<\eta<1$ such that eigenvalues of the…

We study bounded pseudoconvex domains in complex Euclidean space. We define an index associated to the boundary and show this new index is equivalent to the Diederich-Forn{\ae}ss index defined in 1977. This connects the…

We study a geometric property of the boundary on Hartogs domains which can be used to find upper and lower bounds for the Diederich-Forn{\ae}ss Index. Using this, we are able to show that under some reasonable hypotheses on the set of…

We study bounded pseudoconvex domains in complex Euclidean spaces. We find analytical necessary conditions and geometric sufficient conditions for a domain being of trivial Diederich--Forn\ae ss index (i.e. the index equals to 1). We also…

Let $\Omega$ be a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^{n}$. Let $1\leq q_{0}\leq (n-1)$. We show that if $q_{0}$--sums of eigenvalues of the Levi form are comparable, then if the Diederich--Forn\ae ss index of $\Omega$ is $1$,…

The Diederich--Forn\ae ss index has been introduced since 1977 to classify bounded pseudoconvex domains. In this article, we derive several intrinsic, geometric conditions on boundary of domains for arbitrary indexes. Many results, in the…

We prove that for every $n \ge 2$, there exists a pseudoconvex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ such that $\mathfrak{c}^0(\Omega) \subsetneq \mathfrak{c}^1(\Omega)$, where $\mathfrak{c}^k(\Omega)$ denotes the core of $\Omega$ with…

A uniform upper bound for the Diederich--Fornaess index is given for weakly pseudoconvex domains whose Levi-form of the boundary vanishes in $\ell$-directions everywhere.

Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{C}^{n}$, with $n \geq 3$, be a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain satisfying the symmetric eigenvalue comparability condition $D(q_0)$ for some $1\le q_0\le n-2$. We show that if the Diederich-Fornaess-index of…

Let D be a smoothly bounded domain in complex space of dimension larger than 2. Suppose that D admits a smooth defining function which is plurisubharmonic on the boundary of D. Then the Diederich-Fornaess exponent can be chosen arbitrarily…

In this paper, we use Takeuchi's Theorem to show that for every Lipschitz pseudoconvex domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{CP}^n$ there exists a Lipschitz defining function $\rho$ and an exponent $0<\eta<1$ such that $-(-\rho)^\eta$ is strictly…

Let D be a smoothly bounded domain in C^2. Suppose that D admits a smooth defining function which is plurisubharmonic on the boundary of D. Then the Diederich-Fornaess exponent can be chosen arbitrarily close to 1, and the closure of D…

We consider the relationship between two sufficient conditions for regularity of the Bergman Projection on smooth, bounded, pseudoconvex domains. We show that if the set of infinite type points is reasonably well-behaved, then the existence…

We introduce the concept of Steinness index related to the Stein neighborhood basis. We then show several results: (1) The existence of Steinness index is equivalent to that of strong Stein neighborhood basis. (2) On the…

In this note we establish a lower bound for the distance induced by the K\"ahler-Einstein metric on pseudoconvex domains with positive hyperconvexity index (e.g. positive Diederich-Fornaess index). A key step is proving an analog of the…

We prove that the upper envelope of a family of subharmonic functions defined on an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^{N}$, $(N\geq2)$, that is finite every where, is locally bounded above outside a closed nowhere dense set with no bounded…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex domain and let $f:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a positive, subharmonic function (i.e. $\Delta f \geq 0$). Then $$ \frac{1}{|\Omega|} \int_{\Omega}{f dx} \leq \frac{c_n}{ |\partial \Omega| }…

This work provides calculus for the Fr\'echet and limiting subdifferential of the pointwise supremum given by an arbitrary family of lower semicontinuous functions. We start our study showing fuzzy results about the Fr\'echet…
