5.5. The one-dimensional case

We now study in detail the one-dimensional case. Besides being a concrete example of the relationship between functions, models, metrics, and measures, it is also a crucial step in the proof that a toric metric is semipositive if and only if the corresponding function is concave. Of this equivalence, up to now we have proved only one implication and the reverse implication will be proved in the next section.

The only complete one-dimensional toric variety over a field is the projective line. Since, by Proposition 5.53 and Proposition 2.35 we know the effect of taking finite extensions of the field KK, we can use the following result to reduce any model of ℙ1\mathbb{P}^{1} to a simpler form.

Definition 5.54.

Let KK be a field complete with respect to an absolute value associated to a nontrivial discrete valuation. Let K∘K^{\circ} be the ring of integers. Let XX be a proper curve over KK. A semi-stable model of XX is a flat proper regular scheme 𝒳{\mathcal{X}} of finite type over Spec⁡(K∘)\operatorname{Spec}(K^{\circ}) with an isomorphism X→𝒳ηX\to{\mathcal{X}}_{\eta}, such that the special fibre 𝒳o{\mathcal{X}}_{o} is a reduced normal crossing divisor.

Proposition 5.55.

Let KK be a field complete with respect to an absolute value associated to a nontrivial discrete valuation. Let K∘K^{\circ} be the ring of integers. Let 𝒳{\mathcal{X}} be a proper model over K∘K^{\circ} of ℙK1\mathbb{P}^{1}_{K}. Then there exists a finite extension HH of KK with ring of integers H∘{H}^{\circ}, a semi-stable model 𝒳′{\mathcal{X}}^{\prime} of ℙH1\mathbb{P}^{1}_{H}, and a proper morphism of models 𝒳′→𝒳×Spec⁡(H∘)\mathcal{X}^{\prime}\to\mathcal{X}\times\operatorname{Spec}({H}^{\circ}).

Proof.

This follows, for instance, from [Liu06, Corollary 2.8]. ∎

Consider the toric variety XΣ≃ℙ1X_{\Sigma}\simeq\mathbb{P}^{1}. We can choose an isomorphism N≃ℤN\simeq\mathbb{Z} and Nℝ≃ℝN_{\mathbb{R}}\simeq\mathbb{R}. Then Σ={ℝ−,{0},ℝ+}\Sigma=\{\mathbb{R}_{-},\{0\},\mathbb{R}_{+}\}. Let 00 denote the invariant point of ℙK1\mathbb{P}^{1}_{K} corresponding to the cone ℝ+\mathbb{R}_{+} and ∞\infty the invariant point corresponding to the cone ℝ−\mathbb{R}_{-}. Let tt denote the absolute coordinate of ℙ1\mathbb{P}^{1} given by the monomial χ1\chi^{1}.

Let 𝒳\mathcal{X} be a semi-stable model of ℙK1\mathbb{P}^{1}_{K}. By extending scalars if necessary, we may suppose that all the components of the special fibre are defined over k=K∘/K∘⁣∘k=K^{\circ}/K^{\circ\circ} and contain a rational point. Since the special fibre 𝒳o\mathcal{X}_{o} is connected and of genus zero, we deduce that the special fibre is a tree of rational curves, each isomorphic to ℙk1\mathbb{P}^{1}_{k}. Let D0D_{0} and D∞D_{\infty} denote the horizontal divisors corresponding to the point 00 and ∞\infty of ℙK1\mathbb{P}^{1}_{K}. Then, there is a chain of rational curves that links the divisor D0D_{0} with D∞D_{\infty} that is contained in the special fibre. We will denote the irreducible components of the special fibre that form this chain by E0,…,EkE_{0},\dots,E_{k}, in such a way that the component E0E_{0} meets D0D_{0}, the component EkE_{k} meets D∞D_{\infty} and, for 0<i<k0<i<k, the component EiE_{i} meets only Ei−1E_{i-1} and Ei+1E_{i+1}. The other components of 𝒳o\mathcal{X}_{o} will be grouped in branches, each branch has its root in one of the components EiE_{i}. We will denote by Fi,jF_{i,j}, j∈Θij\in\Theta_{i} the components that belong to a branch with root in EiE_{i}. We are not giving any particular order to the sets Θi\Theta_{i}.

We denote by E⋅FE\cdot F the intersection product of two 11-cycles of 𝒳{\mathcal{X}}. Since the special fibre is reduced, we have

div⁡(ϖ)=∑i=0k(Ei+∑j∈ΘiFi,j).\operatorname{div}(\varpi)=\sum_{i=0}^{k}\left(E_{i}+\sum_{j\in\Theta_{i}}F_{i,j}\right).

Again by the assumption of semi-stability, the intersection product of two different components of 𝒳o\mathcal{X}_{o} is either 11, if they meet, or zero, if they do not meet. Since the intersection product of div⁡(ϖ)\operatorname{div}(\varpi) with any component of 𝒳o\mathcal{X}_{o} is zero, we deduce that, if EE is any component of 𝒳o\mathcal{X}_{o}, the self-intersection product E⋅EE\cdot E is equal to minus the number of components that meet EE. In particular, all components Fi,jF_{i,j} that are terminal, are (−1)(-1)-curves. By Castelnuovo Criterion, we can successively blow-down all the components Fi,jF_{i,j} to obtain a new semi-stable model of ℙK1\mathbb{P}^{1}_{K} whose special fibre consist of a chain of rational curves. For reasons that will become apparent later we denote this model as 𝒳𝕊{\mathcal{X}}_{\mathbb{S}}.

Lemma 5.56.

If we view tt as a rational function on 𝒳\mathcal{X}, then there is an integer aa such that

div⁡(t)=D0−D∞+∑i=0k(a−i)​(Ei+∑j∈ΘiFi,j).\operatorname{div}(t)=D_{0}-D_{\infty}+\sum_{i=0}^{k}(a-i)\left(E_{i}+\sum_{j\in\Theta_{i}}F_{i,j}\right).
Proof.

It is clear that

div⁡(t)=D0−D∞+∑i=0kai​Ei+∑j∈Θiai,j​Fi,j\operatorname{div}(t)=D_{0}-D_{\infty}+\sum_{i=0}^{k}a_{i}E_{i}+\sum_{j\in\Theta_{i}}a_{i,j}F_{i,j}

for certain coefficients aia_{i} and ai,ja_{i,j} that we want to determine as much as possible.

If a component EE of 𝒳0\mathcal{X}_{0}, with coefficient aa, does not meet D0D_{0} nor D∞D_{\infty}, but meets r≥1r\geq 1 other components, and the coefficients of r−1r-1 of these components are equal to aa, while the coefficient of the remaining component is bb, we obtain that

0=div⁡(t)⋅E=a​E⋅E+a⁡(r−1)+b=−r​a+a⁡(r−1)+b=b−a0=\operatorname{div}(t)\cdot E=aE\cdot E+a(r-1)+b=-ra+a(r-1)+b=b-a

Thus b=ab=a. Starting with the components Fi,jF_{i,j} that are terminal, we deduce that, for all ii and j∈Θij\in\Theta_{i}, ai=ai,ja_{i}=a_{i,j}. Therefore,

div⁡(t)=D0−D∞+∑i=0kai​(Ei+∑j∈ΘiFi,j).\operatorname{div}(t)=D_{0}-D_{\infty}+\sum_{i=0}^{k}a_{i}\left(E_{i}+\sum_{j\in\Theta_{i}}F_{i,j}\right).

In particular, the lemma is proved for k=0k=0. Assume now that k>0k>0.

It only remains to show that ai=a0−ia_{i}=a_{0}-i, that we prove by induction. For i=1i=1, we compute

0=div⁡(t)⋅E0=D0⋅E0+a0​E0⋅E0+a0​∑j∈Θ0F0,j⋅E0+a1​E1⋅E0=1−a0+a1.0=\operatorname{div}(t)\cdot E_{0}=D_{0}\cdot E_{0}+a_{0}E_{0}\cdot E_{0}+a_{0}\sum_{j\in\Theta_{0}}F_{0,j}\cdot E_{0}+a_{1}E_{1}\cdot E_{0}=1-a_{0}+a_{1}.

Thus a1=a0−1a_{1}=a_{0}-1. For 1<i≤k1<i\leq k, by induction hypothesis, ai−1=ai−2−1a_{i-1}=a_{i-2}-1. Then

0=div⁡(t)⋅Ei−1=ai−2−2​ai−1+ai=1−ai−1+ai.0=\operatorname{div}(t)\cdot E_{i-1}=a_{i-2}-2a_{i-1}+a_{i}=1-a_{i-1}+a_{i}.

Thus ai=ai−1−1=a0−ia_{i}=a_{i-1}-1=a_{0}-i, proving the lemma. ∎

The determination of div⁡(t)\operatorname{div}(t) allows us to give a partial description of the map red:XΣan→𝒳o{\operatorname{red}}\colon X_{\Sigma}^{{\text{\rm an}}}\to\mathcal{X}_{o}. For us, the most interesting points of 𝒳o\mathcal{X}_{o} are the points q0:=D0∩E0q_{0}:=D_{0}\cap E_{0}, qi:=Ei−1∩Eiq_{i}:=E_{i-1}\cap E_{i}, i=1,…,ki=1,\dots,k, qk+1:=Ek∩D∞q_{k+1}:=E_{k}\cap D_{\infty} and the generic points of the components EiE_{i} that we denote ηi\eta_{i}, i=0,…,ki=0,\dots,k.

Lemma 5.57.

Let p∈XΣanp\in X_{\Sigma}^{{\text{\rm an}}}. Then

red⁡(p)={q0, if ​|t⁡(p)|<|ϖ|aqi,i=1​…,k, if ​|ϖ|a−i+1<|t⁡(p)|<|ϖ|a−iqk+1, if ​|ϖ|a−k<|t⁡(p)|ηi,i=0​…,k, if ​|t⁡(p)|=|ϖ|a−i​ and ​p∈im⁡(θΣ).{\operatorname{red}}(p)=\begin{cases}q_{0},&\text{ if }|t(p)|<|\varpi|^{a}\\ q_{i},\ i=1\dots,k,&\text{ if }|\varpi|^{a-i+1}<|t(p)|<|\varpi|^{a-i}\\ q_{k+1},&\text{ if }|\varpi|^{a-k}<|t(p)|\\ \eta_{i},\ i=0\dots,k,&\text{ if }|t(p)|=|\varpi|^{a-i}\text{ and }p\in\operatorname{im}(\theta_{\Sigma}).\end{cases}
Proof.

Let 1≤i≤k1\leq i\leq k. The rational function x:=t​ϖ−a+ix:=t\varpi^{-a+i} has a zero of order one along the component Ei−1E_{i-1} and the support of its divisor does not contain the component EiE_{i}. On the other hand, the rational function y:=t−1​ϖa−i+1y:=t^{-1}\varpi^{a-i+1} has a zero of order one along the component EiE_{i} and the support of its divisor does not contain the component Ei−1E_{i-1}. Thus {x,y}\{x,y\} is a system of parameters in a neighbourhood of qiq_{i}. We denote

A=K∘​[t​ϖ−a+i,t−1​ϖa−i+1]≃K∘​[x,y]/(x​y−ϖ).A=K^{\circ}[t\varpi^{-a+i},t^{-1}\varpi^{a-i+1}]\simeq K^{\circ}[x,y]/(xy-\varpi).

The local ring at the point qiq_{i} is A(x,y)A_{(x,y)}. Let pp be a point such that |ϖ|a−i+1<|t⁡(p)|<|ϖ|a−i|\varpi|^{a-i+1}<|t(p)|<|\varpi|^{a-i}. Therefore, for f∈Af\in A we have |f⁡(p)|≤1|f(p)|\leq 1. Moreover, if f∈(x,y)f\in(x,y), then |f⁡(p)|<1|f(p)|<1. Since the ideal (x,y)(x,y) is maximal, we deduce that, for f∈Af\in A, the condition |f⁡(p)|<1|f(p)|<1 is equivalent to the condition f∈(x,y)f\in(x,y). This implies that red⁡(p)=qi{\operatorname{red}}(p)=q_{i}. A similar argument works for q0q_{0} and qk+1q_{k+1}.

Assume now that p∈im⁡(θΣ)p\in\operatorname{im}(\theta_{\Sigma}) and that |t⁡(p)|=|ϖ|a−i|t(p)|=|\varpi|^{a-i}. If i≠0i\not=0 we consider again the ring AA, but in this case |x⁡(p)|=|t⁡(p)​ϖ−a+i|=1|x(p)|=|t(p)\varpi^{-a+i}|=1. Let I={f∈A∣|f⁡(p)|<1}I=\{f\in A\mid|f(p)|<1\}. It is clear that (y,ϖ)⊂I(y,\varpi)\subset I. For f=∑m∈ℤβm​tm∈Af=\sum_{m\in\mathbb{Z}}\beta_{m}t^{m}\in A, since p∈im⁡(θΣ)p\in\operatorname{im}(\theta_{\Sigma}), we have

|f⁡(p)|=supm(|βm|​|t⁡(p)|m).|f(p)|=\sup_{m}(|\beta_{m}||t(p)|^{m}).

This implies that I⊂(y,ϖ)I\subset(y,\varpi). Hence II is the ideal that defines the component EiE_{i} and this is equivalent to red⁡(p)=ηi{\operatorname{red}}(p)=\eta_{i}. The case i=0i=0 is analogous. ∎

The image by red{\operatorname{red}} of the remaining points of XΣanX_{\Sigma}^{{\text{\rm an}}} is not characterized only by the value of |t⁡(p)||t(p)|. Using a proof similar to that of the lemma, one can show that, if |t⁡(p)|=|ϖ|a−i|t(p)|=|\varpi|^{a-i} then red⁡(p){\operatorname{red}}(p) belongs either to EiE_{i} or to any of the components Fi,jF_{i,j}, j∈Θij\in\Theta_{i}.

We denote by ξi\xi_{i} (resp. ξi,j\xi_{i,j}) the point of XΣanX_{\Sigma}^{{\text{\rm an}}} corresponding to the component EiE_{i} (resp. Fi,jF_{i,j}). That is, red⁡(ξi)=ηi{\operatorname{red}}(\xi_{i})=\eta_{i} and red⁡(ξi,j)=ηi,j{\operatorname{red}}(\xi_{i,j})=\eta_{i,j}, where ηi,j\eta_{i,j} is the generic point of Fi,jF_{i,j} (see (2.15) and (2.14)).

Lemma 5.58.

Let 0≤i≤k0\leq i\leq k. Then, for every j∈Θij\in\Theta_{i},

valK⁡(ξi)=valK⁡(ξi,j)=a−i,{\operatorname{val}}_{K}(\xi_{i})={\operatorname{val}}_{K}(\xi_{i,j})=a-i,

where aa is the integer of Lemma 5.56.

Proof.

We consider the rational function ϖ−a+i​t\varpi^{-a+i}t. Since the support of div⁡(ϖ−a+i​t)\operatorname{div}(\varpi^{-a+i}t) does not contain the component EiE_{i} nor any of the components Fi,jF_{i,j}, we have that

|ϖ−a+i​t​(ξi)|=|ϖ−a+i​t​(ξi,j)|=1.|\varpi^{-a+i}t(\xi_{i})|=|\varpi^{-a+i}t(\xi_{i,j})|=1.

Since t=χ1t=\chi^{1}, we deduce, using equation (5.4), that

valK⁡(ξi)=−log⁡|χ1​(xi)|λK=−log⁡|ϖa−i|−log⁡|ϖ|=a−i.{\operatorname{val}}_{K}(\xi_{i})=\frac{-\log|\chi^{1}(x_{i})|}{\lambda_{K}}=\frac{-\log|\varpi^{a-i}|}{-\log|\varpi|}=a-i.

∎

Let now Ψ\Psi be a virtual support function on Σ\Sigma. It can be written as

Ψ⁡(u)={m∞​u, if ​u≤0,m0​u, if ​u≥0.\Psi(u)=\begin{cases}m_{\infty}u,&\text{ if }u\leq 0,\\ m_{0}u,&\text{ if }u\geq 0.\end{cases}

for some m0,m∞∈ℤm_{0},m_{\infty}\in\mathbb{Z}. Then, L=𝒪⁡(DΨ)≃𝒪⁡(m∞−m0)L=\mathcal{O}(D_{\Psi})\simeq\mathcal{O}(m_{\infty}-m_{0}), and div⁡(sΨ)=−m0​[0]+m∞​[∞]\operatorname{div}(s_{\Psi})=-m_{0}[0]+m_{\infty}[\infty]. Let ℒ\mathcal{L} be a model over 𝒳\mathcal{X} of L⊗eL^{\otimes e}. If we consider sΨ⊗es_{\Psi}^{\otimes e} as a rational section of ℒ\mathcal{L}, then

(5.59) div⁡(sΨ⊗e)=−e​m0​D0+e​m∞​D∞+∑i=0k(αi​Ei+∑j∈Θiαi,j​Fi,j)\operatorname{div}(s_{\Psi}^{\otimes e})=-em_{0}D_{0}+em_{\infty}D_{\infty}+\sum_{i=0}^{k}\left(\alpha_{i}E_{i}+\sum_{j\in\Theta_{i}}\alpha_{i,j}F_{i,j}\right)

for certain coefficients αi\alpha_{i} and αi,j\alpha_{i,j}. Let ∥⋅∥\|\cdot\| be the metric on LanL^{{\text{\rm an}}} determined by this model.

Lemma 5.60.

The function ψ∥⋅∥\psi_{\|\cdot\|} is given by

ψ∥⋅∥(u)={m0​u−m0​a−α0e, if ​u≥a,(αi+1−αi)​u−(αi+1−αi)​(a−i)−αie, if ​a−i≥u≥a−i−1,m∞​u−m∞​(a−k)−αke, if ​a−k≥u.\psi_{\|\cdot\|}(u)=\begin{cases}m_{0}u-m_{0}a-\frac{\alpha_{0}}{e},&\text{ if }u\geq a,\\ \frac{(\alpha_{i+1}-\alpha_{i})u-(\alpha_{i+1}-\alpha_{i})(a-i)-\alpha_{i}}{e},&\text{ if }a-i\geq u\geq a-i-1,\\ m_{\infty}u-m_{\infty}(a-k)-\frac{\alpha_{k}}{e},&\text{ if }a-k\geq u.\end{cases}

In other words, if Π\Pi is the polyhedral complex in NℝN_{\mathbb{R}} given by the intervals

(−∞,a−k],[a−i,a−i+1],i=1,…,k,[a,∞),(-\infty,a-k],\quad[a-i,a-i+1],\ i=1,\dots,k,\quad[a,\infty),

then ψ∥⋅∥\psi_{\|\cdot\|} is the rational piecewise affine function on Π\Pi characterized by the conditions

  1. (1)

    rec(ψ∥⋅∥)=Ψ\operatorname{rec}(\psi_{\|\cdot\|})=\Psi,

  2. (2)

    the value of ψ∥⋅∥\psi_{\|\cdot\|} at the point a−ia-i is −αi/e-\alpha_{i}/e.

Proof.

Let p∈im⁡θΣp\in\operatorname{im}\theta_{\Sigma} be such that valK⁡(p)>a{\operatorname{val}}_{K}(p)>a, hence |t⁡(p)|<|ϖ|a|t(p)|<|\varpi|^{a}. By Lemma 5.57, this implies that red⁡(p)=q0{\operatorname{red}}(p)=q_{0}. In a neighbourhood of q0q_{0}, the divisor of the rational section sΨ⊗e​te​m0​ϖ−α0−e​m0​as_{\Psi}^{\otimes e}t^{em_{0}}\varpi^{-\alpha_{0}-em_{0}a} is zero, and so

‖sΨ⊗e​(p)​te​m0​(p)​ϖ−α0−e​m0​a‖=1.\|s_{\Psi}^{\otimes e}(p)t^{em_{0}}(p)\varpi^{-\alpha_{0}-em_{0}a}\|=1.

Set u=val⁡(p)u={\operatorname{val}}(p). Then,

ψ∥⋅∥(u)\displaystyle\psi_{\|\cdot\|}(u) =log⁡‖sΨ⊗e​(p)‖e​λK\displaystyle=\frac{\log\|s_{\Psi}^{\otimes e}(p)\|}{e\lambda_{K}}
=−e​m0​log⁡|t⁡(p)​|+(α0+e​m0​a)​log|​ϖ|−e​log⁡|ϖ|\displaystyle=\frac{-em_{0}\log|t(p)|+(\alpha_{0}+em_{0}a)\log|\varpi|}{-e\log|\varpi|}
=m0​(u−a)−α0e.\displaystyle=m_{0}(u-a)-\frac{\alpha_{0}}{e}.

The other cases are proved in a similar way. ∎

Since rec⁡(Π)=Σ\operatorname{rec}(\Pi)=\Sigma, this polyhedral complex defines a toric model 𝒳Π\mathcal{X}_{\Pi} of XΣX_{\Sigma}.

Proposition 5.61.

The identity map of XΣX_{\Sigma} extend to an isomorphism of models 𝒳𝕊→𝒳Π\mathcal{X}_{\mathbb{S}}\to\mathcal{X}_{\Pi}.

Proof.

The special fibre of 𝒳Π\mathcal{X}_{\Pi} is a chain of rational curves EiE_{i}, i=0,…,ki=0,\dots,k, corresponding to the points a−ia-i. The monomial χ1\chi^{1} is a section of the trivial line bundle and corresponds to the function ψ⁡(u)=−u\psi(u)=-u. Using Proposition 4.84 we obtain that

div⁡(χ1)=D0−D∞+∑i=0k(a−i)​Ei,\operatorname{div}(\chi^{1})=D_{0}-D_{\infty}+\sum_{i=0}^{k}(a-i)E_{i},

where D0D_{0} and D∞D_{\infty} are again the horizontal divisors determined by the points 00 and ∞\infty.

Since the vertices of the polyhedral complex Π\Pi are integral, by equation (4.87), we deduce that div⁡(ϖ)\operatorname{div}(\varpi) is reduced.

Then the result follows from [Lic68, Corollary 1.13] using an explicit description of the local rings at the points of the special fibre as in the proof of Lemma 5.57. ∎

From Proposition 5.61 we obtain a proper morphism π:𝒳→𝒳Π\pi\colon\mathcal{X}\to\mathcal{X}_{\Pi}. On 𝒳\mathcal{X} we had a line bundle ℒ\mathcal{L} and sΨ⊗es_{\Psi}^{\otimes e} was considered as a rational section of this line bundle. Let D=div⁡(sΨ⊗e)D=\operatorname{div}(s_{\Psi}^{\otimes e}) be the divisor given by equation (5.59). We denote

(5.62) D𝕊=π∗​D=−e​m0​D0+e​m∞​D∞+∑i=0kαi​Ei.D_{\mathbb{S}}=\pi_{\ast}D=-em_{0}D_{0}+em_{\infty}D_{\infty}+\sum_{i=0}^{k}\alpha_{i}E_{i}.

By Proposition 4.84 and Lemma 5.60 we see that D𝕊=De​ψhD_{\mathbb{S}}=D_{e\psi_{h}}. Thus 𝒪⁡(D𝕊)\mathcal{O}(D_{\mathbb{S}}) is a toric model of L⊗eL^{\otimes e}. Recall that ∥⋅∥\|\cdot\| denoted the metric associated to the model 𝒪⁡(D)\mathcal{O}(D). Let ∥⋅∥𝕊\|\cdot\|_{\mathbb{S}} be the toric metric obtained from ∥⋅∥\|\cdot\| as in Proposition 5.51. By this proposition and equation (5.62), the metric ∥⋅∥𝕊\|\cdot\|_{\mathbb{S}} agrees with the metric defined by the model 𝒪⁡(D𝕊)\mathcal{O}(D_{\mathbb{S}}). Thus, we have identified a toric model that corresponds to the metric ∥⋅∥𝕊\|\cdot\|_{\mathbb{S}}. This allows us to compute directly the associated measure.

Proposition 5.63.

Let XΣ≃ℙK1X_{\Sigma}\simeq\mathbb{P}^{1}_{K} be a one-dimensional toric variety over KK. Let L≃𝒪⁡(DΨ)L\simeq\mathcal{O}(D_{\Psi}) be a toric line bundle and let ∥⋅∥\|\cdot\| be an algebraic metric defined by a semi-stable model and let ∥⋅∥𝕊\|\cdot\|_{\mathbb{S}} be the associated toric metric. Then

c1(L,∥⋅∥𝕊)∧δXΣ=(θΣ)∗(ρΣ)∗(c1(L,∥⋅∥)∧δXΣ).c_{1}(L,\|\cdot\|_{\mathbb{S}})\land\delta_{X_{\Sigma}}=(\theta_{\Sigma})_{\ast}(\rho_{\Sigma})_{\ast}\left(c_{1}(L,\|\cdot\|)\land\delta_{X_{\Sigma}}\right).
Proof.

Since the special fibre is reduced, by equation (2.29)

c1(L,∥⋅∥)∧δXΣ=1e∑i=0k(degℒEiδξi+∑j∈ΘidegℒFi,jδξi,j).c_{1}(L,\|\cdot\|)\land\delta_{X_{\Sigma}}=\frac{1}{e}\sum_{i=0}^{k}\left(\deg_{\mathcal{L}}E_{i}\delta_{\xi_{i}}+\sum_{j\in\Theta_{i}}\deg_{\mathcal{L}}F_{i,j}\delta_{\xi_{i,j}}\right).

Denote this measure temporarily by μ\mu. Then

(θΣ)∗​(ρΣ)∗​μ\displaystyle(\theta_{\Sigma})_{\ast}(\rho_{\Sigma})_{\ast}\mu =1e​∑i=0k(degℒ⁡Ei+∑j∈Θidegℒ⁡Fi,j)​δξi\displaystyle=\frac{1}{e}\sum_{i=0}^{k}\left(\deg_{\mathcal{L}}E_{i}+\sum_{j\in\Theta_{i}}\deg_{\mathcal{L}}F_{i,j}\right)\delta_{\xi_{i}}

=1e​∑i=0k∑l=0k(αl​El+∑s∈Θlαl,s​Fl,s)⋅(Ei+∑j∈ΘiFi,j)​δξi\displaystyle=\frac{1}{e}\sum_{i=0}^{k}\sum_{l=0}^{k}\left(\alpha_{l}E_{l}+\sum_{s\in\Theta_{l}}\alpha_{l,s}F_{l,s}\right)\cdot\left(E_{i}+\sum_{j\in\Theta_{i}}F_{i,j}\right)\delta_{\xi_{i}}
=1e​∑i=0k(αi−1​Ei−1+αi​Ei+αi+1​Ei+1)⋅(Ei+∑j∈ΘiFi,j)​δξi\displaystyle=\frac{1}{e}\sum_{i=0}^{k}\left(\alpha_{i-1}E_{i-1}+\alpha_{i}E_{i}+\alpha_{i+1}E_{i+1}\right)\cdot\left(E_{i}+\sum_{j\in\Theta_{i}}F_{i,j}\right)\delta_{\xi_{i}}
=1e​∑i=0k(αi−1−2​αi+αi+1)​δξi.\displaystyle=\frac{1}{e}\sum_{i=0}^{k}(\alpha_{i-1}-2\alpha_{i}+\alpha_{i+1})\delta_{\xi_{i}}.

In the previous computation, we have used that, since El⋅div⁡(ϖ)=Fl,s⋅div⁡(ϖ)=0E_{l}\cdot\operatorname{div}(\varpi)=F_{l,s}\cdot\operatorname{div}(\varpi)=0, then

Fl,s⋅(Ei+∑j∈ΘiFi,j)\displaystyle F_{l,s}\cdot(E_{i}+\sum_{j\in\Theta_{i}}F_{i,j}) =0, for all i,j,l,s,\displaystyle=0,\text{ for all }i,j,l,s,
El⋅(Ei+∑j∈ΘiFi,j)\displaystyle E_{l}\cdot(E_{i}+\sum_{j\in\Theta_{i}}F_{i,j}) ={0, if ​l≠i−1,i,i+1,1, if ​l=i−1,i+1,−2, if ​l=i.\displaystyle=\begin{cases}0,&\text{ if }l\not=i-1,i,i+1,\\ 1,&\text{ if }l=i-1,i+1,\\ -2,&\text{ if }l=i.\end{cases}

An analogous computation shows that

(5.64) c1(L,∥⋅∥𝕊)∧δXΣ=1e∑i=0k(αi−1−2αi+αi+1)δξi.c_{1}(L,\|\cdot\|_{\mathbb{S}})\land\delta_{X_{\Sigma}}=\frac{1}{e}\sum_{i=0}^{k}(\alpha_{i-1}-2\alpha_{i}+\alpha_{i+1})\delta_{\xi_{i}}.

∎

Using Proposition 5.55 we can extend the above result to the case when the model is not semi-stable.

Corollary 5.65.

Let XΣ≃ℙK1X_{\Sigma}\simeq\mathbb{P}^{1}_{K} be a one-dimensional toric variety over KK. Let L≃𝒪⁡(DΨ)L\simeq\mathcal{O}(D_{\Psi}) be a toric line bundle, ∥⋅∥\|\cdot\| an algebraic metric, and ∥⋅∥𝕊\|\cdot\|_{\mathbb{S}} the associated toric metric. Then

c1(L,∥⋅∥𝕊)∧δXΣ=(θΣ)∗(ρΣ)∗(c1(L,∥⋅∥)∧δXΣ).c_{1}(L,\|\cdot\|_{\mathbb{S}})\land\delta_{X_{\Sigma}}=(\theta_{\Sigma})_{\ast}(\rho_{\Sigma})_{\ast}\left(c_{1}(L,\|\cdot\|)\land\delta_{X_{\Sigma}}\right).
Proof.

Let (𝒳,ℒ)(\mathcal{X},\mathcal{L}) be a model of (XΣ,L⊗e)(X_{\Sigma},L^{\otimes e}) that realizes the algebraic metric ∥⋅∥\|\cdot\|. For short, denote μ=c1(L,∥⋅∥)∧δXΣ\mu=c_{1}(L,\|\cdot\|)\land\delta_{X_{\Sigma}} and μ𝕊=c1(L,∥⋅∥𝕊)∧δXΣ\mu_{\mathbb{S}}=c_{1}(L,\|\cdot\|_{\mathbb{S}})\land\delta_{X_{\Sigma}}. By Proposition 5.55 there is a non-Archimedean field HH over KK and a semi-stable model 𝒳′{\mathcal{X}}^{\prime} of XΣ,HX_{\Sigma,H}. We may further assume that all the components of the special fibre of 𝒳′{\mathcal{X}}^{\prime} are defined over H∘/H∘⁣∘H^{\circ}/H^{\circ\circ}. Let (L′,∥⋅∥′)(L^{\prime},\|\cdot\|^{\prime}) be the metrized line bundle obtained by base change to HH. Then (∥⋅∥′)𝕊(\|\cdot\|^{\prime})_{\mathbb{S}} is obtained from ∥⋅∥𝕊\|\cdot\|_{\mathbb{S}} by base change. We denote by π:XΣ,Han→XΣ,Kan\pi\colon X^{{\text{\rm an}}}_{\Sigma,H}\to X^{{\text{\rm an}}}_{\Sigma,K} the map of analytic spaces. Be will denote by μ′\mu^{\prime}, μ𝕊′\mu^{\prime}_{\mathbb{S}}, θΣ′\theta_{\Sigma}^{\prime} and ρΣ′\rho_{\Sigma}^{\prime} the corresponding objects for XΣ,HX_{\Sigma,H}. Then, by Proposition 2.35 and Proposition 5.53,

μ𝕊=π∗​μ𝕊′=π∗​(θΣ′)∗​(ρΣ′)∗​μ′=(θΣ)∗​(ρΣ)∗​π∗​μ′=(θΣ)∗​(ρΣ)∗​μ.\mu_{\mathbb{S}}=\pi_{\ast}\mu^{\prime}_{\mathbb{S}}=\pi_{\ast}(\theta^{\prime}_{\Sigma})_{\ast}(\rho^{\prime}_{\Sigma})_{\ast}\mu^{\prime}=(\theta_{\Sigma})_{\ast}(\rho_{\Sigma})_{\ast}\pi_{\ast}\mu^{\prime}=(\theta_{\Sigma})_{\ast}(\rho_{\Sigma})_{\ast}\mu.

∎

We can now relate semipositivity of the metric with concavity of the associated function on the one-dimensional case.

Corollary 5.66.

Let XΣ≃ℙK1X_{\Sigma}\simeq\mathbb{P}^{1}_{K} be a one-dimensional toric variety over KK. Let (L,s)(L,s) be a toric line bundle with a toric section and let ∥⋅∥\|\cdot\| be a semipositive algebraic metric. Then ∥⋅∥𝕊\|\cdot\|_{\mathbb{S}} is a semipositive toric algebraic metric and ψ∥⋅∥\psi_{\|\cdot\|} is concave.

Proof.

Since ∥⋅∥\|\cdot\| is semipositive, c1(L,∥⋅∥)∧δXΣc_{1}(L,\|\cdot\|)\land\delta_{X_{\Sigma}} is a positive measure. By Corollary 5.65, c1(L,∥⋅∥𝕊)∧δXΣc_{1}(L,\|\cdot\|_{\mathbb{S}})\land\delta_{X_{\Sigma}} is a positive measure. Hence ∥⋅∥𝕊\|\cdot\|_{\mathbb{S}} is a semipositive toric metric. By equation (5.64) and Lemma 5.60, the positivity of c1(L,∥⋅∥𝕊)∧δXΣc_{1}(L,\|\cdot\|_{\mathbb{S}})\land\delta_{X_{\Sigma}} implies that the function ψ∥⋅∥=ψ∥⋅∥𝕊\psi_{\|\cdot\|}=\psi_{\|\cdot\|_{\mathbb{S}}} is concave. ∎
