tube domain (Definition)
Definition 1   Suppose $S \subset {\mathbb{R}}^n$ is an open set (usually connected), then we define \begin{equation*} T_S := \{ z \in {\mathbb{C}}^n \mid \operatorname{Re} z \in S \} . \end{equation*}We call $T_S$ the tube domain associated to $S$

Basically the idea is that these domains give you complete freedom in the imaginary coordinates. An interesting fact about these domains is that $T_S$ is pseudoconvex if and only if $T_S$ is convex in the geometric sense, and this is true if and only if $S$ itself is convex.
