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 show that every bounded domain $D$ in $\mathbb R^n$ with smooth $p$-convex boundary for $2\le p < n$ admits a smooth defining function $\rho$ which is $p$-plurisubharmonic on $\overline D$; if in addition $bD$ has no $p$-flat points then…

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…

Let D be a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain in C^n. We give several characterizations for the closure of D to have a strong Stein neighborhood basis in the sense that D has a defining function r such that {z\in C^n:r(z)<a} is pseudoconvex…

Necessary conditions for a domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb C^n$ admitting a local plurisubharmonic defining function on the boundary are given. In tandem, we give an algorithm to construct a local plurisubharmonic defining function on the…

Let $D$ be a bounded domain in $\mathbb C^n$. We study approximation of (not necessarily bounded from above) $m-$subharmonic function $D$ by continuous $m-$subharmonic ones defined on neighborhoods of $\overline{D}$. We also consider the…

We prove in an elementary way that for a Lipschitz domain $D\subset \cn$, all plurisubharmonic functions on $D$ can be regularized near any boundary point.

We investigate existence and uniqueness of maximal plurisubharmonic functions on bounded domains with boundary data that are not assumed to be continuous or bounded. The result is applied to approximate (possibly unbounded from above)…

We show subellipticity of the d-bar Neumann problem on domains with Lipschitz boundary in the presence of plurisubharmonic functions with Hessians of algebraic growth. In particular, a subelliptic estimate holds near a point where the…

We prove that a relatively compact pseudoconvex domain with smooth boundary in an almost complex manifold admits a bounded strictly plurisubharmonic exhaustion function. We use this result for the study of convexity and hyperbolicity…

Given an unbounded strongly pseudoconvex domain D and a continuous real valued function h defined on bD, we study the existence of a (maximal) plurisubharmonic function u on D such that u=h on bD.

We prove a generalization of the second variation formula of the Robin function associated to a smooth variation of domains in C^N to the case of the c-Robin function associated to a smooth variation of domains in a complex manifold M…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Let $\Omega=\{r<0\}\subset\mathbb C^2$, with $r$ plurisubharmonic on $b\Omega=\{r=0\}$. Let $\rho$ be another defining function for $\Omega$. A formula for the determinant of the complex Hessian of $\rho$ in terms of $r$ is computed. This…

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.

We show that every strictly pseudoconvex domain $\Omega$ with smooth boundary in a complex manifold $\mathcal{M}$ admits a global defining function, i.e., a smooth plurisubharmonic function $\varphi \colon U \to \mathbb R$ defined on an…

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…
