Characterizations of projective hulls by analytic discs

Abstract

The notion of the projective hull of a compact set in a complex projective space $\mathbb{P}^{n}$ was introduced by Harvey and Lawson in 2006. In this paper, we describe the projective hull by Poletsky sequences of analytic discs, in analogy to the known descriptions of the holomorphic and the plurisubharmonic hull.
