Pointwise nonisotropic support functions on convex domains (Q4499577)

Let \(\varOmega \Subset\mathbb C^n\) be a smoothly bounded, convex domain of finite type. The authors construct, for any fixed \(p\in \partial\varOmega,\) a holomorphic function on a neighborhood \(U\) of \(p\) which vanishes at \(p\) and whose real part decays away from \(p\) in \(U\cap\overline\varOmega\) in the maximal way allowed by the complex geometry of \(\partial\varOmega\) near \(p.\) The main ingredient in this pointwise construction is a several variables extension of a basic inequality for convex polynomials of one variable. There are numerous applications of the fact that these support functions reflect the geometry of \(\partial\varOmega\) in a sharp, nonisotropic way. A few direct applications are mentioned in the paper. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0940.00031].
