Plurisubharmonic martingales and barriers in complex quasi-Banach spaces (Q1124085)

We describe the geometrical structure on a complex quasi-Banach space X that is necessay and sufficient for the existence of boundary limits for bounded, X-valued analytic functions on the open unit disc of the complex plane. It is shown that in such spaces, closed bounded subsets have many plurisubharmonic barriers and that bounded upper semi-continuous functions on these sets have arbitrarily small plurisubharmonic perturbations that attain their maximum. This yields a certain representation of the unit ball of X in a nonlinear but ``plurisubharmonic'' compactification which in turn implies the convergence of bounded X-valued plurisubharmonic martingales: a result obtained recently by Bu-Schachermayer. A Choquet-type integral representation in terms of Jensen boundary measures is also included. The proofs rely on (analytic) martingale techniques and the results answer various queries of G. A. Edgar. In an appendix, it is established that Hardy martingales ``embed'' in analytic functions. Some of these results were established in the Banach space setting in an earlier paper.
