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…

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 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…

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…

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.

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…

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…

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…

Let $D^2 \subset C$ be a closed two-dimensional disk and $f:D^2 \to R$ be a continuous function such that a restriction of $f$ to $\partial D^2$ is a continuous function with a finite number of local extrema and $f$ has a finite number of…

We show that in $\mathbb{C}^2$ if the set of strongly regular points are closed in the boundary of a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain, then the domain is c-regular, that is, the plurisubharmonic upper envelopes of functions continuous up…

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…

Answering an old question, we find a domain X in the complex projective plane CP^2 which admits a strongly plurisubharmonic function, but such that every holomorphic function on X is constant. The domain X can be chosen diffeomorphic to an…

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…

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 construct a boundary integral formula for harmonic functions on open, smoothly-bordered subdomains of Riemann surfaces embeddable into $\C\P^2$. The formula may be considered as an analogue of the Green's formula for domains in $\C$.
