On defining functions for unbounded pseudoconvex domains (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
We show that every strictly pseudoconvex domain Ω with smooth boundary in a complex manifold M admits a global defining function, i.e. a smooth plurisubharmonic function φ:U→R defined on an open neighbourhood U⊂M of Ω such that Ω={φ<0}, dφ≠0 on bΩ and φ is strictly plurisubharmonic near bΩ. We then introduce the notion of the kernel K(Ω) of an arbitrary domain Ω⊂M as the set of all points where every smooth and bounded from above plurisubharmonic function on Ω fails to be strictly plurisubharmonic. If Ω is not relatively compact in M, then in general K(Ω) is nonempty, even in the case when M is Stein. It is shown that every strictly pseudoconvex domain Ω⊂M with smooth boundary admits a global defining function that is strictly plurisubharmonic precisely in the complement of K(Ω). We then investigate properties of the kernel. Among other results we prove 1-pseudoconcavity of the kernel, we show that in general the kernel does not possess any analytic structure, and we investigate Liouville type properties of the kernel.
