We make a systematic study of (quasi-)plurisubharmonic envelopes on compact Kähler manifolds, as well as on domains of $\mathbb{C}^n$, by using and extending an approximation process due to Berman [Ber13]. We show that the quasi-psh envelope of a viscosity super-solution is a pluripotential super-solution of a given co…

Study confirms geodesic connectivity and rooftop envelopes in complex Monge-Ampère equation domains.

We establish plurisubharmonicity of the envelope of Poisson and Lelong functionals on almost complex manifolds. That is, we generalize the corresponding results for complex manifolds and almost complex manifolds of complex dimension two. We also provide some applications to the regularization of J-plurisubharmonic func…

New method for complex Monge-Ampère equations on Kähler manifolds.

The goal of this work is to prove the regularity of certain quasi-plurisubharmonic upper envelopes. Such envelopes appear in a natural way in the construction of hermitian metrics with minimal singularities on a big line bundle over a compact complex manifold. We prove that the complex Hessian forms of these envelopes …

Recently the authors have explored new concepts of plurisubharmonicity and pseudoconvexity, with much of the attendant analysis, in the context of calibrated manifolds. Here a much broader extension is made. This development covers a wide variety of geometric situations, including, for example, Lagrangian plurisubhamon…

We prove the existence of canonical tubular neighbourhoods around complex submanifolds of Kähler manifolds that are adapted to both the holomorphic and symplectic structure. This is done by solving the complex Homogeneous Monge-Ampère equation on the deformation to the normal cone of the submanifold. We use this to est…

On $(X,ω)$ compact Kähler manifold, given a model type envelope $ψ\in PSH(X,ω)$ (i.e. a singularity type) we prove that the Monge-Ampère operator is an homeomorphism between the set of $ψ$-relative finite energy potentials and the set of $ψ$-relative energy measures endowed with their strong topologies given as the coa…

Let $(M,ω)$ be a Kahler manifold. An integrable function on M is called $ω^q$-plurisubharmonic if it is subharmonic on all q-dimensional complex subvarieties. We prove that a smooth $ω^q$-plurisubharmonic function is q-convex. A continuous $ω^q$-plurisubharmonic function admits a local approximation by smooth, $ω^q$-pl…

In this paper, we show that the extremal length functions on Teichmüller space are log-plurisubharmonic. As a corollary, we obtain an alternative proof of L.Liu and W.Su's results on the plurisubharmonicity of extremal length functions. We also obtain alternative proofs of S.Krushkal's results that a function defined b…

Let $X$ be a compact Kähler manifold and $\{θ\}$ be a big cohomology class. We prove several results about the singularity type of full mass currents, answering a number of open questions in the field. First, we show that the Lelong numbers and multiplier ideal sheaves of $θ$-plurisubharmonic functions with full mass a…

In this paper, we study global properties of continuous plurisubharmonic functions on complete noncompact Kähler manifolds with nonnegative bisectional curvature and their applications to the structure of such manifolds.

Smoothly bounded domains have special functions that are plurisubharmonic.

This note establishes smooth approximation from above for J-plurisubharmonic functions on an almost complex manifold (X,J). The following theorem is proved. Suppose X is J-pseudoconvex, i.e., X admits a smooth strictly J-plurisubharmonic exhaustion function. Let u be an (upper semi-continuous) J-plurisubharmonic functi…

Energy functional on Teichmüller space is plurisubharmonic but not strictly so.

Let $X$ be a compact Kähler manifold and $θ$ a smooth closed $(1,1)$-real form representing a big cohomology class $α\in H^{1,1}(X,\R)$. The purpose of this note is to show, using pluripotential and viscosity techniques, that any $θ$-plurisubharmonic function $\f$ can be approximated from above by a decreasing sequence…

In this paper we introduce and study the notion of plurisubharmonic functions in calibrated geometry. These functions generalize the classical plurisubharmonic functions from complex geometry and enjoy many of their important properties. Moreover, they exist in abundance whereas the corresponding pluriharmonics are gen…

Recently the authors showed that there is a robust potential theory attached to any calibrated manifold (X,φ). In particular, on X there exist φ-plurisubharmonic functions, φ-convex domains, φ-convex boundaries, etc., all inter-related and having a number of good properties. In this paper we show that, in a strong sens…
