Proof of Theorem 5.1.
We prove the result for successively more general
functions , .
Step 1.
First assume , are -psh model functions.
Pick an SNC model on which ,
and are determined by vertical divisors and respectively.
These three functions are then affine on any
face of the dual complex .
Further, and
are both atomic measures, supported on
divisorial points corresponding to irreducible
components of the special fiber, see §2.7. If
is such a component for which ,
then and hence
for all irreducible components
of the special fiber intersecting ,
or else would not be affine on the
face in .
We have thus shown for all components of intersecting . If follows that as numerical classes on ,
and hence by definition of Monge-Ampère measures of model functions.
Step 2.
Now suppose that is an -psh model function but that is merely a
bounded -psh function.
We may assume , where .
Note that the set is open since is continuous and is usc.
It suffices to prove that
for all model functions whose support is contained in
and such that .
Fix a small number .
By Proposition 4.3 there exists an open set
and a decreasing sequence
of -psh model functions on such that
and such that converges uniformly to
on .
Pick small and rational and write .
For , we have .
Since and are both model functions, we have
on by Step 1.
It follows from Lemma 4.6 that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where we have used and .
Since is a model function, it is the difference of two -psh model
functions by Proposition 2.6.
Now decreases to as
and , so Theorem 3.1 and the above inequality imply
|
|
|
We obtain the desired equality letting .
Step 3.
Finally we treat the general case when and are bounded -psh functions.
Let be a decreasing net of -psh model functions
converging to .
Write . This is an open set.
Set .
Then
|
|
|
By what precedes, on .
Moreover decreases to and so
the measure converges weakly to .
Let be a continuous function on . By Proposition 4.3 are quasicontinuous. It follows that and are also
quasicontinuous,
and applying Lemma 5.4 twice we get that
|
|
|
This holds for every ,
so ,
as was to be shown.
