Jul 14, 2013 at 11:15 comment added Alexandre Eremenko A good general reference for convergence of potentials is Hormander, Notions of Convexity, Birkhauser, 1994, especially Thm 3.2.13.
Jul 13, 2013 at 20:51 comment added Alexandre Eremenko George, have you already resolved your difficulty, or you need an explanation? The hint is that u(|z|) is a subharmonic function which depends only on |z|. When measures converge weakly such functions converge uniformly on every compact set.
Jul 13, 2013 at 14:28 comment added George Lowther The condition is then $\int v_\phi(t)d\mu(t)\ge0$ for all such $\phi$. That is, $\int(\log\lvert 1-\lvert z\rvert/t\rvert-\log\lvert 1-z/t\rvert)d\mu(t)\ge0$ holds for $z\in\mathbb{C}^*$ in the sense of distributions. I'm not sure if this is all obvious, or is how it was intended to be understood, but had me confused about the validity of the necessary condition for a while.
Jul 13, 2013 at 14:24 comment added George Lowther This is nice. I was confused about the "evidently necessary" condition at first. I mean, it is true when $\mu$ is given by a polynomial with positive coefficients and giving no weight to $z$. However, $\log\lvert 1-z/t\rvert$ is not a continuous bounded function of $t$, so passing to the weak closure doesn't seem obvious. However, if you write $v_z(t)=\log\lvert(1-\lvert z\rvert/t)/(1-z/t)\rvert$ then this is bounded as $t\to\infty$. If you write $v_\phi(t)=\int v_z(t)\phi(z)d^2z$ for smooth nonegative $\phi$ with compact support in $\mathbb{C}^*$ then this is continuous and bounded.
