Connectedness in the Pluri-fine Topology

Abstract: We study connectedness in the pluri-fine topology on

C C^{n}

and obtain the following results. If

O m e g a

is a pluri-finely open and pluri-finely connected set in

C C^{n}

and

E s u b s e t C C^{n}

is pluripolar, then

O m e g a s e t m i n u s E

is pluri-finely connected. The proof hinges on precise information about the structure of open sets in the pluri-fine topology: Let

O m e g a

be a pluri-finely open subset of

C C^{n}

. If

z

is any point in

O m e g a

, and

L

is a complex line passing through

z

, then obviously

O m e g a c a p L

is a finely open neighborhood of

z

in

L

. Now let

C_{L}

denote the finely connected component of

z

in

O m e g a c a p L

. Then

c u p_{L i z} C_{L}

is a pluri-finely connected neighborhood of

z

. As a consequence we find that if

v

is a finely plurisubharmonic function defined on a pluri-finely connected pluri-finely open set, then

v = - i n f t y

on a pluri-finely open subset implies

v e q u i v - i n f t y

.
