On the log-hyperconvexity index of pseudoconvex H$\ddot{o}$lder domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$
Tianlong Yu
TL;DR
This paper proves that every bounded pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$ with Hölder boundary has a positive global log-hyperconvexity index $\alpha_l(\Omega)>0$. The authors construct a continuous plurisubharmonic exhaustion function $w$ with improved boundary growth, showing $-\frac{M_1}{(-\log d(z))^{\tau}} \frac{1}{\log(-\log d(z))} \le w(z) \le -\frac{M_2}{(-\log d(z))^{\tau}} \frac{1}{\log(-\log d(z))}$, where $d(z)$ is the boundary distance and $\tau>0$. The proof combines a detailed local analysis near the Hölder boundary with a two-stage Richberg patching: first locally on boundary charts to obtain psh functions with controlled $d_t$-dependent growth, then globally to glue these into a single exhaustion on the whole domain. This extends localized results on Hölder boundaries to a global construction, providing a stronger tool for the study of plurisubharmonic functions on Hölder pseudoconvex domains.
Abstract
In this note we prove that every bounded pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$ with H$\ddot{o}$lder boundary has positive log-hyperconvexity index.
