Proof.

For equation (4.100), we suppose without loss of generality that mσ=0m_{\sigma}=0, and hence Ψ|σ=0\Psi|_{\sigma}=0. Let u∈N​(σ)ℝu\in N(\sigma)_{\mathbb{R}}. Then, the function ψ|πσ−1​(u)\psi|_{\pi^{-1}_{\sigma}(u)} is concave. Let Λ∈Π\Lambda\in\Pi such that rec⁡(Λ)=σ\operatorname{rec}(\Lambda)=\sigma and πσ−1​(u)∩Λ≠∅\pi^{-1}_{\sigma}(u)\cap\Lambda\not=\emptyset. Then, πσ−1​(u)∩Λ\pi^{-1}_{\sigma}(u)\cap\Lambda is a polyhedron of maximal dimension in πσ−1​(u)\pi^{-1}_{\sigma}(u). The restriction of ψ\psi to this polyhedron is constant and, by (4.88), agrees with ψ​(σ)​(u)\psi(\sigma)(u). Therefore, by concavity,

(πσ)∗​ψ​(u)=maxv∈πσ−1​(u)⁡ψ⁡(v),(\pi_{\sigma})_{\ast}\psi(u)=\max_{v\in\pi^{-1}_{\sigma}(u)}\psi(v),

agrees with ψ​(σ)​(u)\psi(\sigma)(u). Thus we obtain equation (4.100). Equation (4.101) follows from the previous equation and Proposition 3.78(2). To prove equation (4.101) when mσ≠0m_{\sigma}\not=0 we use Proposition 3.40(4). ∎
