Plurisubharmonic Defining Functions in \mathbb C^2

Abstract: Let

O m e g a = r < 0 s u b s e t m a t h b b C^{2}

, with

r

plurisubharmonic on

b O m e g a = r = 0

. Let

h o

be another defining function for

O m e g a

. A formula for the determinant of the complex Hessian of

h o

in terms of

r

is computed. This formula is used to give necessary and sufficient conditions that make

h o

(locally) plurisubharmonic.
