Proof.

It follows straightforwardly from proposition 1.6.1 that ℱ0{\mathcal{F}}_{0} is a relatively compact subset of P​S​H​(X,ω)PSH(X,\omega). Moreover ℱ0{\mathcal{F}}_{0} is closed by Hartogs lemma (1.6.2).

Let (φj)∈ℱμℕ(\varphi_{j})\in{\mathcal{F}}_{\mu}^{\mathbb{N}}. Then ψj:=φj−supXφj∈ℱ0\psi_{j}:=\varphi_{j}-\sup_{X}\varphi_{j}\in{\mathcal{F}}_{0} which is relatively compact. Assume first μ\mu is smooth. Then (∫Xψj​𝑑μ)(\int_{X}\psi_{j}d\mu) is bounded: this is because if ψjk→ψ\psi_{j_{k}}\rightarrow\psi in L1​(X)L^{1}(X) then ψjk​μ→ψ​μ\psi_{j_{k}}\mu\rightarrow\psi\mu in the weak sense of (negative) measures hence ∫Xψjk​𝑑μ→∫Xψ​𝑑μ>−∞\int_{X}\psi_{j_{k}}d\mu\rightarrow\int_{X}\psi d\mu>-\infty. Now ∫Xψjdμ=∫Xφjdμ−∫XsupXφjdμ=−supXφj\int_{X}\psi_{j}d\mu=\int_{X}\varphi_{j}d\mu-\int_{X}\sup_{X}\varphi_{j}d\mu=-\sup_{X}\varphi_{j} thus (supXφj)(\sup_{X}\varphi_{j}) is bounded and we can apply the previous proposition to conclude that (φj)(\varphi_{j}) is relatively compact ( it cannot converge uniformly to −∞-\infty since ∫Xφj​𝑑μ=0\int_{X}\varphi_{j}d\mu=0).

When μ\mu is not smooth, it only remains to prove that (∫Xψj​𝑑μ)(\int_{X}\psi_{j}d\mu) is bounded. Assume on the contrary that ∫Xψj​𝑑μ→−∞\int_{X}\psi_{j}d\mu\rightarrow-\infty. Extracting a subsequence if necessary we can assume ∫Xψj​𝑑μ≤−2j\int_{X}\psi_{j}d\mu\leq-2^{j}. Set ψ=∑j≥12−j​ψj\psi=\sum_{j\geq 1}2^{-j}\psi_{j}. This is a decreasing sequence of ω\omega-psh functions, hence ψ∈P​S​H​(X,ω)\psi\in PSH(X,\omega) or ψ≡−∞\psi\equiv-\infty. Now it follows from the previous discussion that ∫Xψj​𝑑V≥−C\int_{X}\psi_{j}dV\geq-C if d​VdV denotes some smooth probability measure on XX. Thus ∫Xψ​𝑑V>−∞\int_{X}\psi dV>-\infty hence ψ∈P​S​H​(X,ω)\psi\in PSH(X,\omega). We obtain a contradiction since by the Monotone convergence theorem, ∫Xψ​𝑑μ=∑j≥12−j​∫Xψj​𝑑μ=−∞\int_{X}\psi d\mu=\sum_{j\geq 1}2^{-j}\int_{X}\psi_{j}d\mu=-\infty. ∎
