The zero residual Monge–Ampère mass conjecture

Let D=B1D=B_1 be the unit ball in Cn{\mathbb C}^n, and let uu be a plurisubharmonic function on B1B_1 that is locally bounded outside the origin. The Monge–Ampère measure (ddcu)n(dd^c u)^n is assumed to be defined, and its atomic mass at the origin is the residual Monge–Ampère mass, normalized by

τu(0)=1πn(ddcu)n({0}).\tau_u(0)=\frac{1}{\pi^n}(dd^c u)^n(\{0\}).

Denote the Lelong number of uu at the origin by νu(0)\nu_u(0). Zero residual mass conjecture. If

νu(0)=0,\nu_u(0)=0,

then

τu(0)=0.\tau_u(0)=0.

Equivalently, a Dirac mass of (ddcu)n(dd^c u)^n at the origin should imply that uu has a positive Lelong number there. This is the zero mass conjecture raised by Guedj and Rashkovskii. The paper proves it for S1S^1-invariant plurisubharmonic functions in C2{\mathbb C}^2, while the general question remains open.
