On polynomial convexity of compact subsets of totally-real submanifolds in \(\mathbb{C}^n\) (Q730227)

Let \(F=(f^1,\ldots,f^n):{\mathbb C}^n\to{\mathbb C}^n\) be a \(C^2\)-smooth map such that its graph \(\operatorname{Gr}(F)\) is a totally real submanifold of \({\mathbb C}^{2n}\). Then a compact subset \(K\) of \(\mathrm{Gr}(F)\) is proved to be polynomially convex if and only if there exists a plurisubharmonic function \(\Psi\) in \({\mathbb C}^{2n}\) such that \(K\subset\{\Psi<0\}\subset G\), where \(G\) is a tube-like set defined by the map \(F\). A similar result is obtained also in the case when \(K\) is a compact subset of a totally real manifold \(M=\rho^{-1}(0)\) for a submersion \(\rho: {\mathbb C}^n\to {\mathbb R}^{2n-k}\).
