On definitions of the pluricomplex Green function (Q4390883)

Let \(D\) be a domain in \(\mathbb{C}^n\), let \(PSH(D)\) denote the set of all plurisubharmonic functions in \(D\), and let \(B(a,r)\) denote the ball with center at \(a\) and radius \(r\). The pluricomplex Green's function is defined by \[ \begin{multlined} g_D(a,z)= \sup\{u(z): u\in PSH(D),\;u(z)<0, \text{ and there exist both } M\text{ and }\\ r>0\text{ such that } u(w)\leq M+\log \| w-a\|,\;w\in B(a,r) \subset D\}. \end{multlined} \] The author shows the equivalence of five other definitions for \(g_D(a,z)\). Here is one example. Let \(E\) denote the unit disc in \(C\), and let \(M(E,D)\) denote the collection of all holomorphic mappings from \(E\) into \(D\), and let \[ g^3_D(a,z)= \inf\Bigl\{\sum_{\lambda \in\varphi^{-1} (a)}\log |\lambda |: \varphi \in M(E,D),a \in\varphi (E),\varphi (0)= a\Bigr\}. \] Then \(g^3_D(a,z)= g_D(a,z)\) for all \(z\in D\). The definitions of the other four functions are of the same general type as the definition of \(g^3_D\).
