13.15.1 Range and restricted massBD96324E19C7

We first bound the Monge–Ampère mass of a bounded potential polynomially in its range. The first mixed mass $\int _ X(\omega +\mathrm{dd}^{\mathrm{c}}v)\wedge \omega ^{n-1}$ is bounded independently of $v$ by the Gauduchon trace. Local Chern–Levine–Nirenberg estimates turn this into a bound of degree $j-1$ in the range for the $j$th mixed mass, and Stokes' theorem expresses the top mass in terms of the lower ones.

Proposition 13.15.2.57A94BD59310 There is a constant $C_\omega $ such that, for every $A\geq 0$,

\[ \int _ X(\omega +\mathrm{dd}^{\mathrm{c}}v)^ n\leq C_\omega (1+A)^{r_ n} \quad \text{if }v\in \mathrm{PSH}(X,\omega ),\ 0\leq v\leq A. \]

Proof. Choose finitely many coordinate balls whose concentric smaller balls, with compact closure in the larger ones, cover $X$. On each larger ball choose a fixed quadratic function $q$ with $\mathrm{dd}^{\mathrm{c}}q\geq \omega $, shifted so that $p=v+q$ is plurisubharmonic with $0\leq p\leq A+C$. Let $\kappa $ be the Euclidean form. In the identity

\[ \mathrm{dd}^{\mathrm{c}}p=(\omega +\mathrm{dd}^{\mathrm{c}}v)+(\mathrm{dd}^{\mathrm{c}}q-\omega ), \]

the integral of the first term against $\kappa ^{n-1}$ is bounded by a fixed multiple of the global trace mass, which is bounded by corollary 11.5.3, and the second term is smooth and fixed. Thus $\int \mathrm{dd}^{\mathrm{c}}p\wedge \kappa ^{n-1}$ is bounded uniformly in $v$ and $A$; in dimension one, Stokes' theorem replaces the trace bound. By (5.27.3), on each smaller ball,

\[ \int (\mathrm{dd}^{\mathrm{c}}p)^ j\wedge \kappa ^{n-j}\leq C_ j(1+A)^{j-1} \quad (1\leq j\leq n). \]

Expand $(\omega +\mathrm{dd}^{\mathrm{c}}v)^ j=(\mathrm{dd}^{\mathrm{c}}p+\omega -\mathrm{dd}^{\mathrm{c}}q)^ j$ and sum over the finite cover. Since the smooth factors have bounded coefficients, the positive mixed masses satisfy

\[ 0\leq M_ j(v):=\int _ X(\omega +\mathrm{dd}^{\mathrm{c}}v)^ j\wedge \omega ^{n-j} \leq C_ j(1+A)^{\max (j-1,0)} \quad (0\leq j\leq n). \]

For smooth $v$, the exact form $(\mathrm{dd}^{\mathrm{c}}v)^ n$ integrates to zero, as in the proof of theorem 11.1.5; the regularization of theorem 5.32.1 and the continuity of bounded products give the same identity for bounded $v$. Thus

\[ 0=\int _ X(\mathrm{dd}^{\mathrm{c}}v)^ n =\sum _{j=0}^ n(-1)^{n-j}\binom nj M_ j(v). \]

Since the mixed masses are nonnegative, it follows that

\[ M_ n(v)\leq \sum _{j=0}^{n-1}\binom nj M_ j(v) \leq C_\omega (1+A)^{r_ n}. \]

The largest power is $n-2$ when $n\geq 2$; for $n=1$, only the constant term remains. $\square$

For $n\leq 2$ the bound is uniform, so every compact complex curve or surface has the bounded mass property. In higher dimensions the bound grows with the range, and truncation turns it into a bound for the mass of an unbounded potential above a finite depth.

Lemma 13.15.3.357B2DE7779E Let $u\in \mathrm{PSH}(X,\omega )$ be nonpositive. For $t\geq 0$ and every Borel set $E\subset X$,

F3E7262939D2 13.15.4
\begin{equation} \mu _ u(\{ u\geq -t\} )\leq C_\omega (1+t)^{r_ n}, \qquad \mu _ u(E\cap \{ u\geq -t\} )\leq (1+t)^ n\operatorname {Cap}_\omega (E). \end{equation}

Proof. Put $v_ t=\max (u,-t-1)+t+1$. It is $\omega $-plurisubharmonic and takes values in $[0,t+1]$, and by plurifine locality its Monge–Ampère measure equals $\mu _ u$ on $\{ u\geq -t\} \subset \{ u>-t-1\} $. The first estimate therefore follows from proposition 13.15.2, after enlarging the constant. For the second, $v_ t/(1+t)$ is a test function for the capacity, and positivity gives

\[ (\omega +\mathrm{dd}^{\mathrm{c}}v_ t)^ n \leq (1+t)^ n\bigl (\omega +\mathrm{dd}^{\mathrm{c}}(v_ t/(1+t))\bigr )^ n. \]

Restricting this inequality to $E\cap \{ u\geq -t\} $ proves the capacity bound. $\square$
