Title: Pluripotential theory associated to a convex set.

Abstract: The Newton polytope of a polynomial is the convex hull of the exponents b such that the coefficient in front of z^b is non-zero. To understand the properties of the family of all polynomials with some prescribed Newton polytope, we employ methods from pluripotential theory. We consider a Siciak-Zakharyuta function, also known as a pluricomplex Green function, except that its logarithmic growth is replaced by growth bounded by H_S, where H_S denotes the support function of some compact convex set S, in logarithmic coordinates. The reason for this choice of growth is that if p is a polynomial then log|p| grows slower than H_S if and only if the Newton polytope of p is contained in S. These were the themes of my recently completed Ph.D. project, under the supervision of Ragnar Sigurdsson and Benedikt Steinar Magnusson at the University of Iceland.
