Comparison of the pluricomplex and the classical Green functions (Q1590913)

Let \(\Omega\) be a bounded, strictly pseudoconvex domain with \(\mathbb{C}^2\) boundary in \(\mathbb{C}^n\), \(n\geq 2\). Let \(U(\Omega,y)\) be the class of subharmonic functions \(u\) in \(\Omega\) such that \(u(\zeta)\leq- |\zeta-y |^{2-2n} +O(1)\) when \(\zeta\to y\) and \[ G(x,y)=\sup \bigl\{u(x): u\in U (\Omega,y), u\leq 0\bigr\}. \] This is the classical Green function. Let \(V(\Omega,y)\) be the class of plurisubharmonic functions \(v\) in \(\Omega\) such that \(v(\zeta)\leq \ln|\zeta-y |+O(1)\), \(\zeta\to y\) and \[ g(x,y)= \sup\bigl\{v(x) :v\in V(\Omega,y),\;v\leq 0\bigr\}. \] The main result of this paper (Theorem 1) establises that there exists a constant \(C=C(\Omega)>0\) such that \[ 0\leq{g(x,y) \over G(x,y)}\leq C|x-y|^{2n-4} \] For all \(x,y\in \Omega\).
