Let$X$and$Y$be smooth varieties of dimensions$n$−1 and$n$over an arbitrary algebraically closed field,$f: X→Y$a finite map that is birational onto its image. Suppose that$f$is curvilinear; that is, for all$xεX$, the Jacobian ϱ$f(x)$has rank at least$n$−2. For$r$≥1, consider the subscheme$N$_{$r$}of$Y$defined by the ($r$−1)th Fitting ideal of the $$\mathcal{O}_Y $$ -module $$f_ * \mathcal{O}_X $$ , and set$M$_{$r$}∶=$f$^{−1}$N$_{$r$}. In this setting—in fact, in a more general setting—we prove the following statements, which show that$M$_{$r$}and$N$_{$r$}behave like reasonable schemes of source and target$r$-fold points of$f$.

We study different classes of Jensen measures for plurisubharmonic functions, in particular the relation between Jensen measures for continuous functions and Jensen measures for upper bounded functions. We prove an approximation theorem for plurisubharmonic functions in$B$-regular domain. This theorem implies that the two classes of Jensen measures coincide in$B$-regular domains. Conversely we show that if Jensen measures for continuous functions are the same as Jensen measures for upper bounded functions and the domain is hyperconvex, the domain satisfies the same approximation theorem as above.

This paper gives a partial answer to a problem raised by Griffiths in [4], which is a kind of converse of Abel’s theorem.
