The unboundedness locus L(u) of a plurisubharmonic function u is the set of points x∈X such that u is unbounded in every neighbourhood of x. It always contains the polar locus of u. One knows that the polar locus of a non-trivial psh function is of zero Lebesgue-measure for instance, but is there anything similar known about L(u)?

$L(u)$ can be the whole domain. In dimension $1$, take a dense countable set $\{ z_k\}$ and consider the (pluri) subharmonic function $\sum_k a_k\log|z-z_k|$, where $a_k>0$ tend to zero sufficiently fast. In other words, a (pluri) polar set where the (pluri) subharmonic function equals $-\infty$ can be dense.

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks; so L(u) is as large as can be for a general plurisubharmonic function. I am particurlarly interested in understanding plurisubharmonic functions whose derivatives are locally in $L^2$. Is for this subclass or for other similar sublasses L(u) smaller? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I think $\sum_k a_k(-\log(-log|z-z_k|))$ does the same job and has derivatives in $L^2$. $\endgroup$
