We present some results dealing with the local geometry of almost complex manifolds. We establish mainly the complete hyperbolicity of strictly pseudoconvex domains, the extension of plurisubharmonic functions through generic submanifolds…

We study some special almost complex structures on strictly pseudoconvex domains. They appear naturally as limits under a nonisotroping scaling procedure and play a role of model objects in the geometry of almost complex manifolds with…

In previous works, G. Tomassini and the authors studied and classified complex surfaces admitting a real-analytic pluri-subharmonic exhaustion function; let $X$ be such a surface and $D\subseteq X$ a domain admitting a \emph{continuous}…

We show that a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$ admitting partial pseudoconvex exhaustion remains partial pseudoconvex. The main ingredient of the proof is based on a new characterization of hyper-$q$-convex domains. Furthermore, we…

In this paper, by modifying significantly the Friedrichs-Gross mollifier technique and/or using the Lasry-Lions regularization technique together with some carefully chosen cut-off functions, for the first time we construct explicitly…

This note establishes smooth approximation from above for J-plurisubharmonic functions on an almost complex manifold (X,J). The following theorem is proved. Suppose X is J-pseudoconvex, i.e., X admits a smooth strictly J-plurisubharmonic…

We study the geometry of $m$-regular domains within the Caffarelli-Nirenberg-Spruck model in terms of barrier functions, envelopes, exhaustion functions, and Jensen measures. We prove among other things that every $m$-hyperconvex domain…

We construct a strictly pseudoconvex domain with smooth boundary whose squeezing function is not plurisubharmonic.

We study boundary properties of plurisubharmonic functions near real submanifolds of almost complex manifolds.

We investigate the question of existence of plurisubharmonic defining functions for smoothly bounded, pseudoconvex domains in $\mathbb{C}^2$. In particular, we construct a family of simple counterexamples to the existence of…

We establish a lower estimate for the Kobayashi-Royden infinitesimal pseudometric on an almost complex manifold $(M,J)$ admitting a bounded strictly plurisubharmonic function. We apply this result to study the boundary behaviour of the…

The Minkowski function is a crucial tool used in the study of balanced domains and, more generally, quasi-balanced domains in several complex variables. If a quasi-balanced domain is bounded and pseudoconvex then it is well-known that its…

Let $D=\{\rho<0\}$ be a smooth domain of finite type in an almost complex manifold (M,J) of real dimension four. We assume that the defining function $\rho$ is J-plurisubharmonic on a neighborhood of $\overline{D}$. We study the asymptotic…

Let $D=\{\rho < 0\}$ be a smooth relatively compact domain in an almost complex manifold $(M,J)$, where $\rho$ is a smooth defining function of $D$, strictly $J$-plurisubharmonic in a neighborhood of the closure $\overline{D}$ of $D$. We…

We give a geometric condition on a compact subset of a complex manifold which is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a smooth strictly plurisubharmonic function defined in a neighbourhood of this set.

The aim of this short note is to investigate the geometry of weakly complete subdomains of Grauert type surfaces, i.e. open connected sets D, sitting inside a Grauert type surface X, which admit a smooth plurisubharmonic exhaustion…

We establish the plurisubharmonicity of the envelope of the Poisson functional on almost complex manifolds. That is, we generalize the corresponding result for complex manifolds and almost complex manifolds of complex dimension two.

The purpose of this article is to investigate a hyperbolic complex manifold $M$ exhausted by a pseudoconvex domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb C^n$ via an exhausting sequence $\{f_j\colon \Omega\to M\}$ such that $f_j^{-1}(a)$ converges to a…

We study the plurisubharmonic envelopes of functions in the setting of domains in $\mathbb C^n$. In particular we prove a complex analogue of a result of De Philippis and Figalli concerning the optimal regularity of such envelopes in smooth…

In this paper we introduce and study the notion of plurisubharmonic functions in calibrated geometry. These functions generalize the classical plurisubharmonic functions from complex geometry and enjoy many of their important properties.…
