Pluripotential theory on algebraic curves

Abstract

In previous works, the second author defined directional Robin constants associated to a compact, nonpolar subset $K$ of an algebraic curve $A$ in $\mathbb{C}^N$ and related these to a natural class of Chebyshev constants for $K$. We define a second class of Chebyshev constants for $K$; relate these two classes; and utilize each of them to define two families of extremal-like functions which can be used to recover the Siciak-Zaharjuta extremal function for $K$.
