The pluricomplex Poisson kernel for strongly pseudoconvex domains


Abstract in English

In this paper we introduce, via a Phragmen-Lindelof type theorem, a maximal plurisubharmonic function in a strongly pseudoconvex domain. We call such a function the {sl pluricomplex Poisson kernel} because it shares many properties with the classical Poisson kernel of the unit disc. In particular, we show that such a function is continuous, it is zero on the boundary except at one boundary point where it has a non-tangential simple pole, and reproduces pluriharmonic functions. We also use such a function to obtain a new intrinsic version of the classical Julias Lemma and Julia-Wolff-Caratheodory Theorem.
