Abstract: Answering an old question, we find a domain X in the complex projective plane CP^2 which admits a strongly plurisubharmonic function, but such that every holomorphic function on X is constant. The domain X can be chosen diffeomorphic to an oriented real 2-plane bundle over the 2-sphere.

Review text

The main result of the paper is stated as its title: of course, the function mentioned there is non-exhaustive! The surface in question is an open neighbourhood of a real compact surface of genus at most 2 in the complex projective plane. The construction of a strongly plurisubharmonic function is quite explicit and elementary. To show the non-existence of holomorphic functions, on the other hand, the author relies on a deep theorem of Nemirovski.
