A Hilbert Lemniscate Theorem in 2
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 58 (2008) no. 6, pp. 2191-2220.

For a regular, compact, polynomially convex circled set K in C 2 , we construct a sequence of pairs {P n ,Q n } of homogeneous polynomials in two variables with deg P n = deg Q n =n such that the sets K n :={(z,w)C 2 :|P n (z,w)|1,|Q n (z,w)|1} approximate K and if K is the closure of a strictly pseudoconvex domain the normalized counting measures associated to the finite set {P n =Q n =1} converge to the pluripotential-theoretic Monge-Ampère measure for K. The key ingredient is an approximation theorem for subharmonic functions of logarithmic growth in one complex variable.

Pour un compact K dans C 2 , regulier, pôlynomiallement convexe et cerclé, on construit une suite de paires {P n ,Q n } avec P n ,Q n pôlynomes homogènes en deux variables et deg P n = deg Q n =n tel que les ensembles K n :={(z,w)C 2 :|P n (z,w)|1,|Q n (z,w)|1} font une approximation de K et quand K est la fermeture d’un domaine strictement pseudoconvexe les mesures de comptage normalisées associées à l’ensemble fini {P n =Q n =1} tendent vers la mesure de Monge-Ampère pour K. L’élément principal est un théorème d’approximation pour les fonctions sousharmoniques de croissance logarithmique à une variable.
