Examples of compact sets \(X\subset {\mathbb C}^n\) such that \(\widehat{X}\backslash X\) (\(\widehat{X}\) the polynomially convex hull of \(X\)) has no analytic structure have been given by \textit{G. Stolzenberg} [J. Math. Mech. 12, 103-111 (1963; Zbl 0113.29101)] and \textit{J. Wermer} [Ark. Mat. 20, 129-135 (1982; Zbl 0491.32013)]. The paper under review presents compact sets \(X\subset \partial D\) (\(D\) an arbitrary bounded domain in \({\mathbb C}^2\), \(\widehat{\overline{D}}= \overline{D}\)) with \(\widehat{X}\backslash X\) nonpluripolar, i.e. \(\widehat{X}\backslash X\) is thick in the sense of the pluripotential theory, but it contains no analytic disc. Applications to maximal plurisubharmonic and extremal plurisubharmonic functions are given. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0933.00013].
