Proposition 21.12.21419A1D9F18A9

Proposition 21.12.21.419A1D9F18A9 Given $\varphi ,\psi \in \mathrm{PSH}_{\mathrm{tor}}(X,\omega )$ with $\varphi \land \psi \not\equiv -\infty $, then $\varphi \land \psi \in \mathrm{PSH}_{\mathrm{tor}}(X,\omega )$ and

\[ F_{\varphi \land \psi }=F_{\varphi }\land F_{\psi },\quad G_{\varphi \land \psi }=G_{\varphi }\lor G_{\psi }. \]

Proof. By proposition 16.3.2, we have $\varphi \land \psi \in \mathrm{PSH}(X,\omega )$. Since $\varphi $ and $\psi $ are $T_ c$-invariant, the set of candidates in the definition of $\varphi \land \psi $ is preserved by the action of $T_ c$. Hence $\varphi \land \psi $ is $T_ c$-invariant as well. So $\varphi \land \psi $ is the biggest element in $\mathrm{PSH}_{\mathrm{tor}}(X,\omega )$ which is dominated by both $\varphi $ and $\psi $. In view of theorem 21.12.13 and proposition 21.12.19, $G_{\varphi \land \psi }$ is the smallest closed proper convex function $G$ on $M_{\mathbb {R}}$ dominating both $G_{\varphi }$ and $G_{\psi }$, which is just $G_{\varphi }\lor G_{\psi }$.

For the statement about $F$, we use proposition 21.11.36:

\[ F_{\varphi \land \psi }=(G_\varphi \lor G_\psi )^*=\operatorname{cl}(F_\varphi \land F_\psi ). \]

Since $\varphi \land \psi \not\equiv -\infty $, $F_{\varphi \land \psi }=(G_\varphi \lor G_\psi )^*$ is finite on all of $N_{\mathbb R}$. It follows that $F_\varphi \land F_\psi >-\infty $, and hence is finite on all of $N_{\mathbb R}$ as well. Being finite and convex on $N_{\mathbb R}$, it is continuous, hence closed. Therefore

\[ F_{\varphi \land \psi }=F_\varphi \land F_\psi . \]
