Intrinsic capacities on compact Kähler manifolds (Q816225)

The authors develop a global pluripotential theory in the context of compact Kähler manifolds. From the maximum principle it follows that there are no plurisubharmonic (psh) functions on compact complex manifolds. If \(\omega\) is a real closed smooth form of bidegree \((1,1)\) on the complex manifold \(X\), one can obtain positive closed currents \(\omega^\prime\) of bidegree \((1,1)\) which are cohomologous to \(\omega\). If \(X\) is Kähler we can write \(\omega^\prime =\omega +dd^c\varphi\), where \(\varphi\) is a \(\omega\)-plurisubharmonic (\(\omega\) -psh)function (or a quasiplurisubharmonic (qpsh) function). The authors define \(\omega\)-psh functions and gather useful facts about them, define the complex Monge-Ampère operator, establish Chern-Levine-Nirenberg inequalities, and study the Monge-Ampère capacity. Next they study the Alexander capacity and show that locally pluripolar sets can be defined by \(\omega\) psh functions when \(\omega\) is Kähler.
