In mathematics, more precisely in the theory of functions of several complex variables, a pseudoconvex set is a special type of open set in the n-dimensional complex space Cn. Pseudoconvex sets are important, as they allow for classification of domains of holomorphy.
Let
be a domain, that is, an open connected subset. One says that is pseudoconvex (or Hartogs pseudoconvex) if there exists a continuous plurisubharmonic function on such that the set
