On a variation of Hartogs' separate analyticity theorem

Let $f(z_1,z_2,\ldots,z_n)$ be a function on $\mathbf{C}^n$ such that for all $i$, the restriction $$ [z_i\mapsto f(z_1,z_2,\ldots,z_n)] $$ is a "rational function". (added: to be precise ...

A question about Lelong number

If $f$ is plurisubharmonic (not identically $-\infty$) on a neighbourhood of $0$ then the Lelong number of $f$ at $0$ is defined by $$\nu_{f}(0) = \liminf_{|z|\rightarrow 0}\dfrac{f(z)}{\log|z|}.$$ My ...
