Peak points for pseudoconvex domains: A survey (Q950696)

The paper under review is an excellent survey article discussing various aspects of the existence of local and/or global peak functions in \(\mathcal C^\infty\)-smooth pseudoconvex domains. Some of the presented results have not been published elsewhere. Contents: {\parindent5mm \begin{itemize}\item[1.] Introduction; \item[2.] Background information and the strictly pseudoconvex case; \item[3.] Finite type, the Kohn-Nirenberg domain, and strict type; \item[4.] The sector method; \item[5.] Alternative constructions of peak functions; \item[6.] Domains of finite type in \(\mathbb C^n\); \item[7.] Miscellany. \end{itemize}}
