A closed set in the plane that is pluripolar in $mathbb{C}^{2}$












1












$begingroup$


Let $ E $ be a compact set in $mathbb{R}^{2}$. We know that if $E$ is polar, then it is a set of isolated points. Now, suppose $E$ is pluripolar when regarded as $Esubsetmathbb{R}^{2}subset mathbb{C}^{2}$, i.e., there is a plurisubharmonic function on an open neighborhood of $E$ in $mathbb{C}^{2}$ that is not identically $-infty$, but on $E$ it is equal to $-infty$. Can we still say that $E$ is a set of isolated points?

          Zero sets of non-constant holomorphic functions $f$ are pluripolar (because $log |f|$ is plurisubharmonic), so the example $f(z,w) = w$ shows that the (complex one-dimensional) $z$-plane is a pluripolar set in $mathbb{C}^2$ (viewed as the complex two-dimensional $(z,w)$-space.)

            Sorry! I didn't get it. But the $z-$plane does not turn $log|f|$ into $-infty$...

            @M.Rahmat: $log |f|$ is $-infty$ exactly at the zeros of $f$, which in this case is given by the equation $w=0$, i.e., the $z$-plane.
