Let be a residually metrized model of ,
determined on a proper dlt model . If is a stratum
corresponding to a top-dimensional face of ,
Lemma 5.12 shows that the restriction of to
induces a Hermitian metric on ,
with subklt.
By Lemma 1.1, we may thus introduce:
This definition is of course compatible with one
in §3.1, and can be more explicitly described as
follows.
Let be a (closed) point of , index the
irreducible components passing through so that is a component of with . In the notation of Example 5.1, the Poincaré residue
|
|
|
is a generator of .
Setting , we have
|
|
|
and we may thus view
|
|
|
as a local -generator of .
Further, ,
and corresponds to
|
|
|
under the identification . We arrive at
