Proposition 16.5.304280CB108A7E

Proposition 16.5.30.4280CB108A7E Given $\varphi ,\psi \in \mathcal{E}^1(X,\theta ;\phi )$, we have the following cocycle equality

F8225060CBAC 16.5.31
\begin{equation} E^{\phi }_{\theta }(\psi )-E^{\phi }_{\theta }(\varphi )=\frac{1}{n+1}\sum _{j=0}^ n \int _ X (\psi -\varphi )\, \theta _{\psi }^ j\wedge \theta _{\varphi }^{n-j}. \end{equation}

Proof. Since the conclusion is known when $\varphi ,\psi \in \mathcal{E}^{\infty }(X,\theta ;\phi )$ (see (16.5.15)), it suffices to prove that for each $k=0,\ldots ,n$, we have

9D55DDF004D1 16.5.32
\begin{equation} \lim _{C\to \infty } \int _ X \Bigl ( \varphi \lor (\phi -C)-\psi \lor (\phi -C) \Bigr ) \, \theta _{\varphi \lor (\phi -C)}^ k\wedge \theta _{\psi \lor (\phi -C)}^{n-k}=\int _ X (\varphi -\psi )\, \theta _{\varphi }^ k\wedge \theta _{\psi }^{n-k}. \end{equation}

For this purpose, we may assume that $\varphi ,\psi \leq \phi $ and it suffices to establish the following:

989753C108DD 16.5.33
\begin{equation} \lim _{C\to \infty } \int _ X \Bigl ( \varphi \lor (\phi -C)-\phi \Bigr ) \, \theta _{\varphi \lor (\phi -C)}^ k\wedge \theta _{\psi \lor (\phi -C)}^{n-k}=\int _ X (\varphi -\phi )\, \theta _{\varphi }^ k\wedge \theta _{\psi }^{n-k}. \end{equation}

Fix $C>0$. We compute the difference as follows:

\[ \begin{aligned} & \int _ X \Bigl ( \varphi \lor (\phi -C)-\phi \Bigr ) \, \theta _{\varphi \lor (\phi -C)}^ k\wedge \theta _{\psi \lor (\phi -C)}^{n-k}-\int _ X (\varphi -\phi )\, \theta _{\varphi }^ k\wedge \theta _{\psi }^{n-k}\\ =& \int _{\{ \min \{ \varphi ,\psi \} >\phi -C\} }\left( \varphi -\phi \right) \, \theta _{\varphi }^ k\wedge \theta _{\psi }^{n-k}-\int _ X (\varphi -\phi )\, \theta _{\varphi }^ k\wedge \theta _{\psi }^{n-k}\\ & +\int _{\{ \min \{ \varphi ,\psi \} \leq \phi -C\} }\Bigl ( \varphi \lor (\phi -C)-\phi \Bigr ) \, \theta _{\varphi \lor (\phi -C)}^ k\wedge \theta _{\psi \lor (\phi -C)}^{n-k}\\ =& -\int _{\{ \min \{ \varphi ,\psi \} \leq \phi -C\} }\left( \varphi -\phi \right) \, \theta _{\varphi }^ k\wedge \theta _{\psi }^{n-k}+\\ & +\int _{\{ \min \{ \varphi ,\psi \} \leq \phi -C\} }\Bigl ( \varphi \lor (\phi -C)-\phi \Bigr ) \, \theta _{\varphi \lor (\phi -C)}^ k\wedge \theta _{\psi \lor (\phi -C)}^{n-k} \end{aligned} \]

We first handle the first term. In order to show that it converges to $0$ when $C\to \infty $, it suffices to show that

\[ \int _ X\left( \phi -\varphi \right) \, \theta _{\varphi }^ k\wedge \theta _{\psi }^{n-k}<\infty . \]

For this purpose, it suffices to prove a stronger inequality:

0BA9923E2163 16.5.34
\begin{equation} \int _ X\left( \phi -\varphi \right) \, \theta _{(\varphi +\psi )/2}^ n<\infty . \end{equation}

From corollary 16.5.25, we know that $(\varphi +\psi )/2\in \mathcal{E}^1(X,\theta ;\phi )$. Therefore, (16.5.34) follows from 16.5.26.

It remains to handle the second term. It then suffices to prove the following:

F913F2DBE96C 16.5.35
\begin{equation} \begin{split} \lim _{C\to \infty } C\int _{\{ \varphi \leq \phi -C\} } \theta _{\varphi \lor (\phi -C)}^ k\wedge \theta _{\psi \lor (\phi -C)}^{n-k}=& 0,\\ \lim _{C\to \infty } C\int _{\{ \psi \leq \phi -C\} } \theta _{\varphi \lor (\phi -C)}^ k\wedge \theta _{\psi \lor (\phi -C)}^{n-k}=& 0. \end{split} \end{equation}

By symmetry, it suffices to handle the first. Observe the following inclusions:

\[ \{ \varphi \leq \phi -C\} \subseteq \left\{ \varphi \lor (\phi -C)\leq \frac{1}{2}\Bigl ( \psi \lor (\phi -C)+\phi -C \Bigr ) \right\} \subseteq \{ \varphi \leq \phi -C/2\} . \]

By proposition 16.5.5, we find

\[ \begin{aligned} & C\int _{\{ \varphi \leq \phi -C\} } \theta _{\varphi \lor (\phi -C)}^ k\wedge \theta _{\psi \lor (\phi -C)}^{n-k}\\ \leq & C\int _{\left\{ \varphi \lor (\phi -C)\leq \frac{1}{2}\bigl (\psi \lor (\phi -C)+\phi -C\bigr )\right\} } \theta _{\varphi \lor (\phi -C)}^ k\wedge \theta _{\psi \lor (\phi -C)}^{n-k}\\ \leq & 2^{n-k}C\int _{\left\{ \varphi \lor (\phi -C)\leq \frac{1}{2}\bigl (\psi \lor (\phi -C)+\phi -C\bigr )\right\} } \theta _{\varphi \lor (\phi -C)}^ k\wedge \theta _{\frac{1}{2}\bigl (\psi \lor (\phi -C)+\phi -C\bigr )}^{n-k}\\ \leq & 2^{n-k}C\int _{\{ \varphi \lor (\phi -C)\leq \frac{1}{2}\bigl (\psi \lor (\phi -C)+\phi -C\bigr )\} } \theta _{\varphi \lor (\phi -C)}^ n\\ \leq & 2^{n-k}C\int _{\{ \varphi \leq \phi -C/2\} } \theta _{\varphi \lor (\phi -C)}^ n\\ = & 2^{n-k}C\int _{\{ \varphi \leq \phi -C/2\} } \theta _{\varphi }^ n. \end{aligned} \]

Here on the final step, we have applied the following argument:

\[ \begin{aligned} & \int _{\left\{ \varphi \leq \phi -C/2 \right\} } \theta _{\varphi \lor (\phi -C)}^ n & \\ = & \int _ X \theta _{\varphi \lor (\phi -C)}^ n-\int _{\left\{ \varphi > \phi -C/2 \right\} } \theta _{\varphi \lor (\phi -C)}^ n & \\ = & \int _ X \theta _{\varphi }^ n-\int _{\left\{ \varphi > \phi -C/2 \right\} } \theta _{\varphi }^ n & \textup{by proposition \href{../../tag/9E81D36B1290/}{13.11.4} \href{../../tag/9E81D36B1290/#sgpt-1C036AD6}{1}}\\ =& \int _{\left\{ \varphi \leq \phi -C/2 \right\} } \theta _{\varphi }^ n. & \end{aligned} \]

On the other hand,

\[ \varlimsup _{C\to \infty } C\int _{\{ \varphi \leq \phi -C/2 \} } \theta _{\varphi }^ n\leq 2 \varlimsup _{C\to \infty } \int _{\{ \varphi \leq \phi -C \} }(\phi -\varphi )\, \theta _{\varphi }^ n=0, \]

since $\varphi \in \mathcal{E}^1(X,\theta ;\phi )$. We conclude (16.5.35). $\square$
