Extreme plurisubharmonic singularities

A plurisubharmonic singularity is extreme if it cannot be represented as the sum of non-homothetic singularities. A complete characterization of such singularities is given for the case of homogeneous singularities (in particular, those determined by generic holomorphic mappings) in terms of decomposability of certain convex sets in $\Rn$. Another class of extreme singularities is presented by means of a notion of relative type.
