Analytic polyhedron

Template:Short description In mathematics, especially several complex variables, an analytic polyhedron is a subset of the complex space Cⁿ of the form

$P=\{z\in D:|f_j(z)|<1,1\le j\le N\}$

where D is a bounded connected open subset of Cⁿ, $f_j$ are holomorphic on D and P is assumed to be relatively compact in D. If $f_j$ above are polynomials, then the set is called a polynomial polyhedron. Every analytic polyhedron is a domain of holomorphy and it is thus pseudo-convex.

The boundary of an analytic polyhedron is contained in the union of the set of hypersurfaces

${\sigma }_j=\{z\in D:|f_j(z)|=1\},1\le j\le N.$

An analytic polyhedron is a Weil polyhedron, or Weil domain if the intersection of any k of the above hypersurfaces has dimension no greater than 2n-k.
