Examples of pluripolar sets I have a very basic question on pluripolar sets. First remind their definition.
Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{C}^n$ be a domain. A subset $E\subset \Omega$ is called pluripolar if there exists a plurisubharmonic function $f\colon \Omega\to \mathbb{R}$, not identically $-\infty$, such that $E\subset \{f=-\infty\}$.
Question. What are the examples of pluripolar sets?
For example, when a closed real analytic (or smooth) submanifold of $\Omega$ is pluripolar?
Remark. According to Wikipedia, pluripolar sets have Hausdorff dimension at most $2n-2$. Also the zero set of a holomorphic function is pluripolar.
 A: As you said, analytic sets (other than the whole space) are pluripolar.  By playing with subharmnic functions
of the form $\sum u_j$ you can arrange some more complicated sets which are neither open nor closed (but the set where a plurisubharmonic function is $-\infty$ must be $G_\delta$). So you can have a dense pluripolar set, for example.
Other non-analytic examples can be made by taking subsets of pluripolar sets.
Pluripolar sets in (complex) dimension $1$ are easier to visualize: they are just very small, and sufficient conditions for a set to be pluripolar can be given in terms of Haurdorff-like measure terms (but only sufficient or necessary,
there is a theorem that says that a complete characterization in metric terms
is impossible). Then you can take products of these
one dimensional sets times $C^k$.
But there is the following remarkable theorem:

If a pluripolar set in $C^{n+1}$ is a graph of a continuous function $f:C^n\to C$,
  then this function is analytic (thus the set is also analytic).

This answers your question about smooth hypersurfaces.
A: Pluripolarity is a quite subtle property.
E. Bedford characterized pluripolar real-analytic submanifolds.
Added: Bedford (in Lelong-Skoda seminar, 1981) called a real submanifold $M$ of $\mathbb{C}^n$ a generating at a point $p$ if the tangent space $T_p M$ is not contained in a proper complex-linear subspace of $\mathbb{C}^n$. It is easy to see that a generating at any point submanifold is not pluripolar. Bedford prove that a real-analytic nowhere generating submanifold is pluripolar.
For example, all real analytic curves in $\mathbb{C}^n$ are pluripolar for $n>1$.
In opposite direction, it's useful to know examples of sets that are not pluripolar. There is a very surprising example due to K. Diederich and J. E. Fornæss (1982) of a non-pluripolar $C^\infty$ smooth curve in $\mathbb{C}^2$. This construction can be extended to $\mathbb{C}^n$.
