Abstract

In this paper, we first prove that the totally real discs lying in certain Levi-flat hypersurfaces are polynomially convex. We also studied the polynomial convexity of totally real discs lying in the regular part of certain singular Levi-flat hypersurfaces. In particular, a necessary and sufficient condition for polynomial convexity of totally real discs lying in the non-singular part of the boundary of the Hartogs triangle is achieved. Sufficient conditions on general compact subsets lying on those hypersurfaces for polynomial convexity are also reported here.
