The pluripolar hull of a graph and fine analytic continuation

We show that if the graph of an analytic function in the unit disk D is not complete pluripolar in C² then the projection of its pluripolar hull contains a fine neighborhood of a point . Moreover the projection of the pluripolar hull is always finely open. On the other hand we show that if an analytic function f in D extends to a function ℱ which is defined on a fine neighborhood of a point and is finely analytic at p then the pluripolar hull of the graph of f contains the graph of ℱ over a smaller fine neighborhood of p. We give several examples of functions with this property of fine analytic continuation. As a corollary we obtain new classes of analytic functions in the disk which have non-trivial pluripolar hulls, among them C^∞ functions on the closed unit disk which are nowhere analytically extendible and have infinitely-sheeted pluripolar hulls. Previous examples of functions with non-trivial pluripolar hull of the graph have fine analytic continuation.
