Formal Definition
A function
with domain is called plurisubharmonic if it is upper semi-continuous, and for every complex line
- with
the function is a subharmonic function on the set
In full generality, the notion can be defined on an arbitrary complex manifold or even a Complex analytic space as follows. An upper semi-continuous function
is said to be plurisubharmonic if and only if for any holomorphic map the function
is subharmonic, where denotes the unit disk.

“The manifestation of poetry in external life is formal perfection. True sentiment grows within, and art must represent internal phenomena externally.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Scientific method is the way to truth, but it affords, even in
