Example 13.27.1A1CA1768E392

Example 13.27.1.A1CA1768E392 Let $\theta $ be the Fubini–Study form on $\mathbb P^2$, normalized by $\int _{\mathbb P^2}\theta ^2=1$. There are analytic ordinary models $p,q,r$ of positive lower volume such that

\[ d_\theta (p,q)>d_\theta (p,r)+d_\theta (r,q). \]

Proof. Write $|Z|^2=|Z_0|^2+|Z_1|^2+|Z_2|^2$ in homogeneous coordinates. Fix a rational $a\in (0,1/2)$ and put

\[ u=a\log \frac{|Z_0|^2}{|Z|^2},\qquad v=a\log \frac{|Z_1|^2}{|Z|^2},\qquad w=u+v. \]

With $H_ i=\{ Z_ i=0\} $, the corresponding currents are $a[H_0]+(1-a)\theta $, $a[H_1]+(1-a)\theta $ and $a[H_0]+a[H_1]+(1-2a)\theta $. The background is closed, so each singularity volume equals the non-pluripolar mass, which is the mass of the smooth part:

\[ U(u)=U(v)=(1-a)^2,\qquad U(w)=(1-2a)^2. \]

The maximum $\max (u,v)$ has the ordinary type of

\[ z=a\log \frac{|Z_0|^2+|Z_1|^2}{|Z|^2}. \]

To compute its volume, blow up the common point $[0:0:1]$ of $H_0$ and $H_1$. Denote the blowup by $\pi :Y\to \mathbb P^2$, its exceptional divisor by $E$, and the pencil map $[Z_0:Z_1]$ by $f:Y\to \mathbb P^1$. For the Fubini–Study form $\omega _1$ of mass one on $\mathbb P^1$, the Poincaré–Lelong formula gives

\[ \pi ^*\theta +\mathrm{dd}^{\mathrm{c}}(z\circ \pi )=a[E]+\beta , \qquad \beta =(1-a)\pi ^*\theta +af^*\omega _1. \]

Here $\beta $ is smooth and semipositive. Also

\[ \int _ Y(\pi ^*\theta )^2=1,\qquad \int _ Y\pi ^*\theta \wedge f^*\omega _1=1,\qquad (f^*\omega _1)^2=0. \]

The mixed integral is one because every fiber of the pencil maps onto a line. By lemma 10.17.3 and change of variables off $E$,

\[ U(\max (u,v))=\int _ Y\beta ^2=1-a^2. \]

Since $w\leq u$ and $w\leq v$, (13.22.2) and the definition of $d_\theta $ give

\[ \begin{split} d_\theta (u,v)& =4a-4a^2,\\ d_\theta (u,w)+d_\theta (w,v)& =4a-6a^2. \end{split} \]

Set $p=P_\theta [u]$, $q=P_\theta [v]$ and $r=P_\theta [w]$. By proposition 18.4.8, these models have the same analytic singularity types as $u$, $v$ and $w$, and their lower volumes are at least $(1-2a)^2$. By projection invariance (proposition 13.22.4), they have the same comparisons, and the difference between the two sides is $2a^2>0$. $\square$
