Example 6.9.4.2AA6A0B94DE7 On $\mathbb C^2$ consider the plurisubharmonic functions (proposition 5.10.3)

\[ \psi =\log \bigl (|z_1|^2+|z_2|^2\bigr ),\qquad \varphi =\log \bigl (|z_1|^2+|z_2|^4\bigr ). \]

They have the same Lelong numbers at every point. Off the origin both functions are finite, so their Lelong numbers vanish there by proposition 6.7.1. At the origin, $\nu (\psi ,0)=1$ by proposition 6.7.9. For $|z_2|\leq 1$ we have $\varphi \leq \psi $, so $\nu (\varphi ,0)\geq 1$; conversely, the supremum of $\varphi $ over the ball $|z|<\mathrm e^{t/2}$ is at least $\sup _{|z_1|<\mathrm e^{t/2}}\log |z_1|^2=t$, so $\nu (\varphi ,0)\leq 1$ by (6.7.2). Nevertheless $\mathcal I(\frac32\psi )_0\neq \mathcal I(\frac32\varphi )_0$. Indeed, $\mathrm e^{-3\psi /2}=|z|^{-3}$ is integrable near $0\in \mathbb R^4$ by polar coordinates, since $\int _0^ rt^{-3}t^3\, \mathrm dt<\infty $; so $\mathcal I(\frac32\psi )_0=\mathcal O_{\mathbb C^2,0}$. On the other hand, on the set $A_\delta =\{ 0<|z_2|<\delta ,\ |z_1|<|z_2|^2\} $ we have $|z_1|^2+|z_2|^4<2|z_2|^4$, hence $\mathrm e^{-3\varphi /2}>2^{-3/2}|z_2|^{-6}$, and by Fubini's theorem

\[ \int _{A_\delta }\mathrm e^{-3\varphi /2}\, \mathrm dV\geq 2^{-3/2}\int _{0<|z_2|<\delta }\pi |z_2|^4\, |z_2|^{-6}\, \mathrm dV_2(z_2)=2^{-3/2}\pi \int _0^\delta 2\pi t^{-1}\, \mathrm dt=\infty . \]

Since every neighborhood of $0$ contains $A_\delta $ for small $\delta >0$, the function $\mathrm e^{-3\varphi /2}$ is not integrable near $0$, and $1\notin \mathcal I(\frac32\varphi )_0$.
