New characterization of plurisubharmonic functions and positivity of direct image sheaves

Abstract

abstract: We discover a new characterization of plurisubharmonic functions in terms of $L^p$ extension from one point and Griffiths positivity of holomorphic vector bundles with singular Finsler metrics in terms of $L^p$ extensions. As applications, we give a stronger result or new proof of some well-known theorems on the Griffiths positivity of the holomorphic vector bundles and their direct image sheaves associated to certain holomorphic fibrations.
