A new generalization of the Lelong number

We will introduce a quantity which measures the singularity of a plurisubharmonic function φ relative to another plurisubharmonic function ψ , at a point a . We denote this quantity by ν a , ψ ( φ ). It can be seen as a generalization of the classical Lelong number in a natural way: if ψ =( n −1)log...

Summary:We will introduce a quantity which measures the singularity of a plurisubharmonic function φ relative to another plurisubharmonic function ψ , at a point a . We denote this quantity by ν a , ψ ( φ ). It can be seen as a generalization of the classical Lelong number in a natural way: if ψ =( n −1)log| ⋅ − a |, where n is the dimension of the set where φ is defined, then ν a , ψ ( φ ) coincides with the classical Lelong number of φ at the point a . The main theorem of this article says that the upper level sets of our generalized Lelong number, i.e. the sets of the form { z : ν z , ψ ( φ )≥ c } where c >0, are in fact analytic sets, provided that the weight ψ satisfies some additional conditions.
