7.3. Compactness

We endow the set PSH⁡(X,θ)\PSH(X,\theta) of all θ\theta-psh functions with the topology of uniform convergence on dual complexes. A basis of open neighborhoods of a fixed θ\theta-psh function φ0\varphi_{0} is then given by {φ∣supΔ𝒳|φ−φ0|≤ε}\{\varphi\mid\sup_{\Delta_{\mathcal{X}}}|\varphi-\varphi_{0}|\leq\varepsilon\} where 𝒳\mathcal{X} ranges over SNC models on which θ\theta is determined and where ε>0\varepsilon>0. Thanks to Proposition 7.6, the natural map

PSH⁡(X,θ)→∏𝒳C0​(Δ𝒳)\PSH(X,\theta)\to\prod_{\mathcal{X}}C^{0}(\Delta_{\mathcal{X}})

is then a homeomorphism onto its image. Note also that 𝒟⁡(X)∩PSH⁡(X,θ)\mathcal{D}(X)\cap\PSH(X,\theta) is dense in PSH⁡(X,θ)\PSH(X,\theta) by definition. The following result implies Theorem A.

Theorem 7.8.

The map PSH⁡(X,θ)→𝐑\PSH(X,\theta)\to\mathbf{R} defined by φ↦supXφ\varphi\mapsto\sup_{X}\varphi is continuous and proper. Hence PSH⁡(X,θ)/𝐑\PSH(X,\theta)/\mathbf{R} is compact. Furthermore, the topology on PSH⁡(X,θ)\PSH(X,\theta) is equivalent to the topology of pointwise convergence on either XqmX^{\mathrm{qm}} or XdivX^{\mathrm{div}}.

Proof.

If 𝒳\mathcal{X} is an SNC model on which θ\theta is determined, then it follows from Proposition 7.6 (ii) that the supremum of any φ∈PSH⁡(X,θ)\varphi\in\PSH(X,\theta) is attained on emb𝒳⁡(Δ𝒳)\emb_{\mathcal{X}}(\Delta_{\mathcal{X}}). This implies the continuity of φ↦supXφ\varphi\mapsto\sup_{X}\varphi.

To prove properness, recall that PSH⁡(X,θ)\PSH(X,\theta) embeds in ∏𝒳C0​(Δ𝒳)\prod_{\mathcal{X}}C^{0}(\Delta_{\mathcal{X}}). By Tychonoff’s theorem, the compactness of

ℱC:={φ∈PSH⁡(X,θ)∣|supXφ|≤C}\mathcal{F}_{C}:=\{\varphi\in\PSH(X,\theta)\mid|\sup_{X}\varphi|\leq C\}

is therefore equivalent to the compactness in C0​(Δ𝒳)C^{0}(\Delta_{\mathcal{X}}) of the closure of the image of ℱC\mathcal{F}_{C} in C0​(Δ𝒳)C^{0}(\Delta_{\mathcal{X}}), for each SNC model 𝒳\mathcal{X} on which θ\theta is determined. But this is a direct consequence of Corollary 7.7 and Ascoli’s theorem.

For the last statement, it is clear that convergence in PSH⁡(X,θ)\PSH(X,\theta) implies pointwise convergence on XqmX^{\mathrm{qm}} which in turn implies pointwise convergence on XdivX^{\mathrm{div}}. Now let (φα)α∈A(\varphi_{\alpha})_{\alpha\in A} be a net of θ\theta-psh functions converging pointwise to φ∈PSH⁡(X,θ)\varphi\in\PSH(X,\theta) on XdivX^{\mathrm{div}}. Fix any SNC model 𝒳\mathcal{X} on which θ\theta is determined. We must show that φα\varphi_{\alpha} converges uniformly to φ\varphi on emb𝒳⁡(Δ𝒳)\emb_{\mathcal{X}}(\Delta_{\mathcal{X}}). But Xdiv∩emb𝒳⁡(Δ𝒳)X^{\mathrm{div}}\cap\emb_{\mathcal{X}}(\Delta_{\mathcal{X}}) is the image under emb𝒳\emb_{\mathcal{X}} of the rational points in Δ𝒳\Delta_{\mathcal{X}} by Corollary 3.13, and is therefore dense in emb𝒳⁡(Δ𝒳)\emb_{\mathcal{X}}(\Delta_{\mathcal{X}}). The uniform convergence on emb𝒳⁡(Δ𝒳)\emb_{\mathcal{X}}(\Delta_{\mathcal{X}}) therefore follows from the equicontinuity statement in Corollary 7.7. ∎
