Study of the behavior of logarithmic potentials by means of logarithmically thin sets (Q2266145)

In \({\mathbb{R}}^ n\), let \(L\mu (x)=\int \log (1/| x-y|)d\mu (y)\) for a Radon measure \(\mu\geq 0\), when it is well-defined. The author studies the nature of \(L\mu\) (x) in the neighbourhood of a finite point \(x_ 0\), by proving the existence of the limit of \(L\mu\) (x) or of a weighted function of it, when \(x\to x_ 0\) outside a small set E. The smallness of E is characterized by the notion of k-logarithmically thin set which generalizes classical thinness in \({\mathbb{R}}^ 2\).
