4. Geometry of Calabi-Yau toric hypersurfaces

A Calabi-Yau hypersurface ZaZ_{a} is given by the closure of the set

Zaaff:={z∈(ℂ\{0})d:∑m∈Δℤ\{0}am​zm=1}Z_{a}^{\operatorname{af{}f}}:=\{z\in(\mathbb{C}\backslash\{0\})^{d}\ :\ \sum_{m\in\Delta_{\mathbb{Z}}\backslash\{0\}}a_{m}z^{m}=1\}

in the toric variety XTX_{T}. From now on we set λ:=log⁡|a|\lambda:=\log|a| and require it to be in a proper subcone of the secondary cone SC⁡(S)\operatorname{SC}(S). Also, for non-zero ava_{v}, we set θv:=12​π​arg⁡(av)\theta_{v}:=\frac{1}{2\pi}\arg(a_{v}).

4.1. An embedding of ZasmZ_{a}^{\mathrm{sm}} into the model torus bundle

In [HZ02] we have used the GKZ machinery [GKZ94] for the monomial estimates in the equation of ZaZ_{a} to establish an embedding of ZasmZ_{a}^{\mathrm{sm}} into Wa:=W⁡(log⁡|a|,Arg⁡(a))W_{a}:=W(\log|a|,\operatorname{Arg}(a)). The same estimates can be used to find bounds on the discrepancy of this embedding from being holomorphic and isometric. Establishing these bounds will occupy the rest of the section.

To define the fibration we assume that λ=log⁡|a|\lambda=\log|a| is sufficiently far in the interior of SC⁡(S)\operatorname{SC}(S), so that c:=log⁡|Δℤ|c:=\log|\Delta_{\mathbb{Z}}| is small in the λ\lambda-scale.

Lemma 4.1.

The amoeba 𝒜λ=log⁡(Zaaff)\mathcal{A}^{\lambda}=\log(Z_{a}^{\operatorname{af{}f}}) lies outside of Δλ−c∨\Delta^{\vee}_{\lambda-c}. In particular, the foliation ℱλ−c,ν,h\mathcal{F}_{\lambda-c,\nu,h} of ℝd\Δλ−c∨\mathbb{R}^{d}\backslash\Delta^{\vee}_{\lambda-c} induces the fibration 𝒜λ→∂Δλ−c∨\mathcal{A}^{\lambda}\to\partial\Delta^{\vee}_{\lambda-c} by projection along the leaves.

Proof.

Note that for any m∈Δℤ\{0}m\in\Delta_{\mathbb{Z}}\backslash\{0\}, if ⟨m,log⁡|z|⟩+log|a|≤−log⁡|Δℤ|\langle m,\log|z|\rangle+\log|a|\leq-\log|\Delta_{\mathbb{Z}}|, then |am​zm|≤1|Δℤ||a_{m}z^{m}|\leq\frac{1}{|\Delta_{\mathbb{Z}}|}. Hence the equation ∑m∈Δℤ\{0}am​zm=1\sum_{m\in\Delta_{\mathbb{Z}}\backslash\{0\}}a_{m}z^{m}=1 cannot have solutions for x∈log−1⁡(Δλ−c∨)x\in\log^{-1}(\Delta^{\vee}_{\lambda-c}). ∎

From now on we will use the (λ−c,ν)(\lambda-c,\nu) bi-PIKAS to identify Σ\Sigma with ∂Δλ−c∨\partial\Delta^{\vee}_{\lambda-c} and fix the vector field and the foliation in ℝd\Δλ−c∨\mathbb{R}^{d}\backslash\Delta^{\vee}_{\lambda-c}. With this identification, given a subset U∈ΣU\in\Sigma we denote by X⁡(U)X(U) the closure of the set log−1(∪q∈Uℱq)\log^{-1}(\cup_{q\in U}\mathcal{F}_{q}) in the toric variety XTX_{T} (cf. [HZ02]). Then the smooth part ZasmZ_{a}^{\mathrm{sm}} of the hypersurface is defined as:

Zasm:=Za∩X⁡(Σ\Nλ−c,νβ,β∨​(D)).Z_{a}^{\mathrm{sm}}:=Z_{a}\cap X(\Sigma\backslash N_{\lambda-c,\nu}^{\beta,\beta^{\vee}}(D)).

We define the map ψ\psi over the charts Vwβ∨V_{w}^{\beta^{\vee}} as the restriction to ZaZ_{a} of the quotient map:

z↦(log⁡|z|/w,Arg⁡(z)/w)∈(ℝd/w,𝕋/w).z\mapsto(\log|z|/w,\operatorname{Arg}(z)/w)\in(\mathbb{R}^{d}/w,\mathbb{T}/w).

Note that if xx is in a boundary toric divisor Zw,w∈vert⁡(T)Z_{w},w\in\operatorname{vert}(T), then log⁡|z|\log|z| and Arg⁡(z)\operatorname{Arg}(z) are not well defined, but log⁡|z|/w\log|z|/w and Arg⁡(z)/w\operatorname{Arg}(z)/w are. Hence, the map ψ\psi is well defined over X⁡(Vwβ∨)X(V_{w}^{\beta^{\vee}}). The meaning of this map is the choice of local coordinates for ZaZ_{a} near zz (cf. [HZ02, Lemma 3.9]). Hence it is holomorphic.

Before defining the map over the charts UvβU_{v}^{\beta} let us first make some estimates in the spirit of Lemma 4.1. For an element θ∈ℝ/ℤ\theta\in\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z} we will write |θ|<c|\theta|<c if the (standard Euclidean) distance from θ\theta to 0 is less than cc. This inequality is vacuous for c≥1/2c\geq 1/2.

Lemma 4.2.

If a point xx of ZaZ_{a} lies in X⁡(Uvβ)X(U_{v}^{\beta}), then

|⟨v,log⁡|z|⟩+λ⁡(v)|≤C⁡(β)​e−β\displaystyle|\langle v,\log|z|\rangle+\lambda(v)|\leq C(\beta)e^{-\beta}
|⟨v,Arg⁡(z)⟩+θv|≤C⁡(β)​e−β,\displaystyle|\langle v,\operatorname{Arg}(z)\rangle+\theta_{v}|\leq C(\beta)e^{-\beta},

where C⁡(β)→log⁡|Δℤ|C(\beta)\to\log|\Delta_{\mathbb{Z}}| as β→∞\beta\to\infty.

Proof.

First of all note that since X⁡(Uvβ)∩Za⊂(ℂ\{0})dX(U_{v}^{\beta})\cap Z_{a}\subset(\mathbb{C}\backslash\{0\})^{d}, both log⁡|z|\log|z| and Arg⁡(z)\operatorname{Arg}(z) are well defined. Also by (2) of Lemma 3.2 the values of the vector field 𝔛\mathfrak{X} are in (carrier⁡v)∨(\operatorname{carrier}v)^{\vee}. Hence, for any q∈Uvβ{q\in U_{v}^{\beta}} the ray ℱq\mathcal{F}_{q} is in Q(v|{0})λ​(β)Q^{\lambda}_{(v|\{0\})}(\beta) and the standard estimates on values of the monomials at z∈log−1⁡(Q(v|{0})λ​(β))z\in\log^{-1}(Q^{\lambda}_{(v|\{0\})}(\beta)) apply:

|amzm|≤e−β|avzv|, all m≠v,{0}.|a_{m}z^{m}|\leq e^{-\beta}|a_{v}z^{v}|,\text{ all }m\neq v,\{0\}.

Or putting them all together we have

|1av​zv​∑m≠v,{0}am​zm|≤|Δℤ|​e−β.\displaystyle\left|\frac{1}{a_{v}z^{v}}\sum_{m\neq v,\{0\}}a_{m}z^{m}\right|\leq|\Delta_{\mathbb{Z}}|e^{-\beta}.

Hence,

|log⁡(1+1av​zv​∑m≠v,{0}am​zm)|≤C′​(β)⋅|Δℤ|​e−β,\displaystyle\left|\log\left(1+\frac{1}{a_{v}z^{v}}\sum_{m\neq v,\{0\}}a_{m}z^{m}\right)\right|\leq C^{\prime}(\beta)\cdot|\Delta_{\mathbb{Z}}|e^{-\beta},

where C′​(β)→1C^{\prime}(\beta)\to 1 as β→∞\beta\to\infty. Writing the equation of ZaZ_{a} in X⁡(Uvβ)X(U_{v}^{\beta}) as

av​zv​(1+1av​zv​∑m≠v,{0}am​zm)=1a_{v}z^{v}\left(1+\frac{1}{a_{v}z^{v}}\sum_{m\neq v,\{0\}}a_{m}z^{m}\right)=1

or, equivalently,

log⁡(av​zv)=−log⁡(1+1av​zv​∑m≠v,{0}am​zm)\log(a_{v}z^{v})=-\log\left(1+\frac{1}{a_{v}z^{v}}\sum_{m\neq v,\{0\}}a_{m}z^{m}\right)

will give the claimed estimates. ∎

Now, identifying the tangent spaces of the torus fibers 𝕋x=log−1⁡(x)\mathbb{T}_{x}=\log^{-1}(x) with ℝd\mathbb{R}^{d}, we can pull back the vector field 𝔛⁡(x)\mathfrak{X}(x) to get a (constant) vector field on 𝕋x\mathbb{T}_{x}. Then the map ψ\psi for the points in X⁡(Uvβ)∩Za⊂(ℂ\{0})dX(U_{v}^{\beta})\cap Z_{a}\subset(\mathbb{C}\backslash\{0\})^{d} will be defined as:

ψ⁡(z):=(log|z|−(⟨v,log|z|⟩+λ(v))𝔛(log|z|),Arg(z)−(⟨v,Arg(z)⟩+θv)𝔛(log|z|))∈(ℝdv(λ(v),𝕋v(θv)).\begin{split}\psi(z):=&\bigl(\log|z|-(\langle v,\log|z|\rangle+\lambda(v))\mathfrak{X}(\log|z|),\\ &\operatorname{Arg}(z)-(\langle v,\operatorname{Arg}(z)\rangle+\theta_{v})\mathfrak{X}(\log|z|)\bigr)\in\bigl(\mathbb{R}^{d}_{v}(\lambda(v),\mathbb{T}_{v}(\theta_{v})\bigr).\end{split}

Here if β\beta is large enough, i.e. C⁡(β)​e−β<12C(\beta)e^{-\beta}<\frac{1}{2}, then according to the Lemma 4.2 there is a preferred continuous lift of ⟨v,Arg⁡(z)⟩+θv\langle v,\operatorname{Arg}(z)\rangle+\theta_{v} to (the neighborhood of 0 in) ℝ\mathbb{R}. We use this lift to first define the value for (⟨v,Arg⁡(z)⟩+θv)​𝔛(\langle v,\operatorname{Arg}(z)\rangle+\theta_{v})\mathfrak{X} in ℝd\mathbb{R}^{d} and then project it back to 𝕋=ℝd/ℤd\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{R}^{d}/\mathbb{Z}^{d}.

Since 𝔛q=w\mathfrak{X}_{q}=w for q∈Vwβ∨q\in V_{w}^{\beta^{\vee}} the definition of the map ψ\psi over the charts Vwβ∨V_{w}^{\beta^{\vee}} is consistent with the above definition on possible overlaps Uvβ∩Vwβ∨U_{v}^{\beta}\cap V_{w}^{\beta^{\vee}}. Thus, we have a well defined map ψ:Zasm→Wa\psi:Z_{a}^{\mathrm{sm}}\to W_{a} which is an embedding [HZ02].

4.2. Estimates on complex structures and metrics

Let JZaJ_{Z_{a}} and JWaJ_{W_{a}} denote the complex structure operators on the tangent spaces to ZaZ_{a} and WaW_{a} respectively. We would like to say that the embedding ψ\psi is holomorphic up to a small order terms.

We have already mentioned that ψ\psi is precisely holomorphic over the charts Vwβ∨V_{w}^{\beta^{\vee}}. To measure the discrepancy at x∈Uvβx\in U_{v}^{\beta} we will fix some (Euclidean) norm on ℝd−1\mathbb{R}^{d-1} (they are all equivalent) to induce a norm on the tangent space ℝd−1⊕ℝd−1≅Tx​Wa\mathbb{R}^{d-1}\oplus\mathbb{R}^{d-1}\cong T_{x}{W_{a}}. Let Cλ,ν​(β)C_{\lambda,\nu}(\beta) be the (uniform on UvβU_{v}^{\beta}) bound for the (λ,ν)(\lambda,\nu) bi-PIKAS metric gλ,νg_{\lambda,\nu} written in the affine coordinates in UvβU_{v}^{\beta}.

Lemma 4.3.

As β→∞,β∨→0\beta\to\infty,\beta^{\vee}\to 0, the linear map

d​ψ∘JZa∘(d​ψ)−1−JWa:Tx​Wa→Tx​Wad\psi\circ J_{Z_{a}}\circ(d\psi)^{-1}-J_{W_{a}}:T_{x}{W_{a}}\to T_{x}{W_{a}}

is of order Cλ−c,ν​(β)⋅O⁡(1β∨​e−β)C_{\lambda-c,\nu}(\beta)\cdot O(\frac{1}{\beta^{\vee}}e^{-\beta}).

Proof.

First we apply estimates similar to those in Lemma 4.2 to the differential d​ψd\psi, which we think of as an element in (ℝd⊕ℝd)⊗((ℝd)∗⊕(ℝd)∗)(\mathbb{R}^{d}\oplus\mathbb{R}^{d})\otimes((\mathbb{R}^{d})^{*}\oplus(\mathbb{R}^{d})^{*}).

d​ψ=(𝟙−𝔛⊗v−(⟨v,log|z|⟩+λ(v))∇𝔛0−(⟨v,Arg(z)⟩+θv)∇𝔛𝟙−𝔛⊗v)​(d​log⁡|z|d​Arg⁡(z))d\psi=\left(\begin{array}[]{cc}\mathbbm{1}-\mathfrak{X}\otimes v-(\langle v,\log|z|\rangle+\lambda(v))\nabla\mathfrak{X}&0\\ -(\langle v,\operatorname{Arg}(z)\rangle+\theta_{v})\nabla\mathfrak{X}&\mathbbm{1}-\mathfrak{X}\otimes v\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}[]{c}d\log|z|\\ d\operatorname{Arg}(z)\end{array}\right)

Note that the complex structures JZaJ_{Z_{a}} and JWaJ_{W_{a}} would match exactly via d​ψd\psi if there were no ∇𝔛\nabla\mathfrak{X} terms (this is what happens in the charts Vwβ∨V_{w}^{\beta^{\vee}} where 𝔛\mathfrak{X} is constant).

According to (2) of Lemma 3.2 ⟨v,𝔛⟩=1\langle v,\mathfrak{X}\rangle=1 in UvβU_{v}^{\beta}. Hence the projection operator

(𝟙−𝔛⊗v00𝟙−𝔛⊗v)\left(\begin{array}[]{cc}\mathbbm{1}-\mathfrak{X}\otimes v&0\\ 0&\mathbbm{1}-\mathfrak{X}\otimes v\end{array}\right)

has a norm of order 1 when restricted to ZaZ_{a}, and the desired bound on d​ψ∘JZa∘(d​ψ)−1−JWad\psi\circ J_{Z_{a}}\circ(d\psi)^{-1}-J_{W_{a}} will follow from estimating the ∇𝔛\nabla\mathfrak{X} terms.

But according to the Lemma 4.2 we have the uniform bounds:

|⟨v,log⁡|z|⟩+λ⁡(v)|≤C​e−β,|⟨v,Arg⁡(z)⟩+θv|≤C​e−β.|\langle v,\log|z|\rangle+\lambda(v)|\leq Ce^{-\beta},\ |\langle v,\operatorname{Arg}(z)\rangle+\theta_{v}|\leq Ce^{-\beta}.

On the other hand, by (3) of Lemma 3.2 the gradient ∇𝔛​(log⁡|z|)\nabla\mathfrak{X}(\log|z|) is bounded by O⁡(1β∨)⋅|gλ−c,ν​(log⁡|z|)|O(\frac{1}{\beta^{\vee}})\cdot\left|g_{\lambda-c,\nu}(\log|z|)\right|. ∎

The Kähler form on ZasmZ_{a}^{\mathrm{sm}} is defined as the restriction of the Kähler form ω\omega on XTX_{T} which in (ℂ\{0})d(\mathbb{C}\backslash\{0\})^{d} is given by:

ω=−12​π​∂∂¯​Φλ+γ,ν,hsm​(log⁡|z|)+ϵ​ω0,\omega=\frac{\sqrt{-1}}{2\pi}\partial\bar{\partial}\Phi^{\mathrm{sm}}_{\lambda+\gamma,\nu,h}\left(\log|z|\right)+\epsilon\omega_{0},

where ω0\omega_{0} is a fixed (e.g., the Fubini-Study) Kähler form. We will compare the metric induced by ω\omega with the (degenerate) scalar product on WaW_{a} induced by the (λ,ν)(\lambda,\nu)-bi-PIKAS.

To make these estimates we will need to introduce some bounds (in a Euclidean metric in ℝd\mathbb{R}^{d}) all of which follow essentially from the definition of the bi-PIKAS family:

|gi​j(x)|<C0(β), from Lemma 4.3 above, uniformly for x∈Uvβ,|HessΦλ+γ(x)|<C1(γ), uniformly for x∈Δ∨λ+γ/2,|gλ+γ,ν(q)−gλ,ν(q)|<C2(γ), uniformly for q∈∂𝒰,|HessΦsmλ+γ,h(x)−HessΦλ+γ(x)|<C3(h), uniformly for x∈Δ∨λ+γ/2,|HessΦλ+γ|ℝvd(q+t𝔛(x))−HessΦλ|ℝvd(q)|<C4(γ), uniformly for −γ<t<γ,q∈Uvβ⊂∂Δ∨λ,|Hess⁡Φλ​(x)−Hess⁡Kw​(q)|<C5​(β,c), uniformly for q∈Nβ(∂𝒰)∩Vwβ∨,x∈ℱq:=q+ℝ≥−c⋅w,\begin{split}&\left|g_{ij}(x)\right|<C_{0}(\beta),\text{ from Lemma~\ref{lemma:complex} above, uniformly for }x\in U_{v}^{\beta},\\ &\left|\operatorname{Hess}\Phi_{\lambda+\gamma}(x)\right|<C_{1}(\gamma),\text{ uniformly for }x\in\Delta^{\vee}_{\lambda+\gamma/2},\\ &\left|g_{\lambda+\gamma,\nu}(q)-g_{\lambda,\nu}(q)\right|<C_{2}(\gamma),\text{ uniformly for }q\in\partial\mathcal{U},\\ &\left|\operatorname{Hess}\Phi^{\mathrm{sm}}_{\lambda+\gamma,h}(x)-\operatorname{Hess}\Phi_{\lambda+\gamma}(x)\right|<C_{3}(h),\text{ uniformly for }x\in\Delta^{\vee}_{\lambda+\gamma/2},\\ &\left|\operatorname{Hess}\Phi_{\lambda+\gamma}|_{\mathbb{R}^{d}_{v}}(q+t\mathfrak{X}(x))-\operatorname{Hess}\Phi_{\lambda}|_{\mathbb{R}^{d}_{v}}(q)\right|<C_{4}(\gamma),\text{ uniformly for }\\ &\hskip 72.26999pt-\gamma<t<\gamma,q\in U_{v}^{\beta}\subset\partial\Delta^{\vee}_{\lambda},\\ &\left|\operatorname{Hess}\Phi_{\lambda}(x)-\operatorname{Hess}K_{w}(q)\right|<C_{5}(\beta,c),\text{ uniformly for }\\ &\hskip 72.26999ptq\in N^{\beta}(\partial\mathcal{U})\cap V_{w}^{\beta^{\vee}},x\in\mathcal{F}_{q}:=q+\mathbb{R}_{\geq-c}\cdot w,\end{split}

where C0​(β)→∞,C1​(γ)→∞,C2​(γ)→0,C3​(h)→0,C4​(t)→0,C5​(β,c)→0C_{0}(\beta)\to\infty,\ C_{1}(\gamma)\to\infty,\ C_{2}(\gamma)\to 0,\ C_{3}(h)\to 0,\ C_{4}(t)\to 0,\ C_{5}(\beta,c)\to 0 as (all of) the corresponding parameters go to 0. The last inequality follows from Φλ∈C2​(∂𝒰\D)\Phi_{\lambda}\in C^{2}(\partial\mathcal{U}\backslash D), where the local potential Kw​(x)K_{w}(x) is pulled back from the quotient.

Lemma 4.4.

Under the embedding ψ:Zasm→Wa\psi:Z_{a}^{\mathrm{sm}}\to W_{a} the scalar products agree up to terms of order C2​(γ)+C3​(h)+C1​(γ)​C0​(β)β∨​e−β+C4​(γ)+C5​(β,c)+O⁡(ϵ).C_{2}(\gamma)+C_{3}(h)+C_{1}(\gamma)\frac{C_{0}(\beta)}{\beta^{\vee}}e^{-\beta}+C_{4}(\gamma)+C_{5}(\beta,c)+O(\epsilon).

Proof.

Let x∈X⁡(Uvβ)∩Zax\in X(U_{v}^{\beta})\cap Z_{a}. Assuming e−β<γ/2e^{-\beta}<\gamma/2 we have

|Hess⁡Φλ+γ,hsm​(x)−Hess⁡Φλ+γ​(x)|<C3​(h).\left|\operatorname{Hess}\Phi^{\mathrm{sm}}_{\lambda+\gamma,h}(x)-\operatorname{Hess}\Phi_{\lambda+\gamma}(x)\right|<C_{3}(h).

The difference between Hess⁡Φλ+γ|Tx​Za\operatorname{Hess}\Phi_{\lambda+\gamma}|_{T_{x}Z_{a}} and Hess⁡Φλ+γ|Tψ⁡(x)​Wa\operatorname{Hess}\Phi_{\lambda+\gamma}|_{T_{\psi(x)}W_{a}} consists of two terms. The first term C4​(γ)C_{4}(\gamma) appears from comparing Hess⁡Φλ+γ|ℝvd\operatorname{Hess}\Phi_{\lambda+\gamma}|_{\mathbb{R}^{d}_{v}} at q+t​𝔛​(x)q+t\mathfrak{X}(x) with Hess⁡Φλ|ℝvd\operatorname{Hess}\Phi_{\lambda}|_{\mathbb{R}^{d}_{v}} at qq. The other term C1​(γ)​C0​(β)β∨​e−βC_{1}(\gamma)\frac{C_{0}(\beta)}{\beta^{\vee}}e^{-\beta} reflects the error in the alignment of the tangent spaces via the map d​ψd\psi in the proof of Lemma 4.3.

Now let x∈X⁡(Vwβ∨)x\in X(V_{w}^{\beta^{\vee}}). We will just need to check points in ℱq\mathcal{F}_{q} for q∈Vwβ∨\⋃Uvβ=Nβ​(∂𝒰)∩Vwβ∨q\in V_{w}^{\beta^{\vee}}\backslash\bigcup U_{v}^{\beta}=N^{\beta}(\partial\mathcal{U})\cap V_{w}^{\beta^{\vee}}. Note that Hess⁡Φλ\operatorname{Hess}\Phi_{\lambda} is bounded in ℱ⁡(Vwβ∨)\mathcal{F}(V_{w}^{\beta^{\vee}}) and is continuous at ∂𝒰\D\partial\mathcal{U}\backslash D (in particular, the Hessian vanishes into the ww-direction at ∂𝒰\D\partial\mathcal{U}\backslash D). Hence the C5C_{5} bound from above are also valid for the regularization Hess⁡Φλ+γ,hsm\operatorname{Hess}\Phi^{\mathrm{sm}}_{\lambda+\gamma,h}. Namely,

|Hess⁡Φλ+γ,hsm​(x)−gλ+γ,ν​(q)|<C5​(β,c),\left|\operatorname{Hess}\Phi^{\mathrm{sm}}_{\lambda+\gamma,h}(x)-g_{\lambda+\gamma,\nu}(q)\right|<C_{5}(\beta,c),

with possibly different function C5C_{5}. The discrepancy between gλ+γ,νg_{\lambda+\gamma,\nu} and gλ,νg_{\lambda,\nu} in Nβ​(∂𝒰)∩Vwβ∨N^{\beta}(\partial\mathcal{U})\cap V_{w}^{\beta^{\vee}} is encoded in the C2​(γ)C_{2}(\gamma) term.

Finally, the term ϵ​ω0,ν\epsilon\omega_{0,\nu} in ω\omega can be bounded by O⁡(ϵ)O(\epsilon). ∎

4.3. The Gromov-Hausdorff limits of one-parameter families

We will apply the results of the previous sections to the situation considered in [HZ02] to draw a consequence mostly related to the mirror symmetry conjecture. Let λ0\lambda_{0} be an integral vector in the interior of the secondary cone SC⁡(S)\operatorname{SC}(S). We consider an 1-parameter family of the hypersurfaces ZsZ_{s} defined as closures in XTX_{T} of

Zsaff:={z∈(ℂ\{0})d:∑m∈Δℤ\{0}am​sλ0​(m)​zm=1}.Z_{s}^{\operatorname{af{}f}}:=\{z\in(\mathbb{C}\backslash\{0\})^{d}\ :\ \sum_{m\in\Delta_{\mathbb{Z}}\backslash\{0\}}a_{m}s^{\lambda_{0}(m)}z^{m}=1\}.

Choose an integral vector ν0\nu_{0} in the interior of SC⁡(T)\operatorname{SC}(T) and consider Σ\Sigma with the metric space structure given by the bi-PIKAS (λ0,ν0)(\lambda_{0},\nu_{0}).

Also consider an one-parameter family of (non-compact) Kähler manifolds Ws:=W⁡(log⁡|a|+log⁡|s|⋅λ0,Arg⁡(a)+Arg⁡(s)⋅λ0)W_{s}:=W(\log|a|+\log|s|\cdot\lambda_{0},\operatorname{Arg}(a)+\operatorname{Arg}(s)\cdot\lambda_{0}), whose metric and complex structure are induced from the (log⁡|a|+log⁡|s|⋅λ0,ν0log⁡|s|)\left(\log|a|+\log|s|\cdot\lambda_{0},\frac{\nu_{0}}{\log|s|}\right) bi-PIKAS.

Theorem 4.5.

As |s|→∞|s|\to\infty one can choose smooth portions of the hypersurfaces Zssm⊂ZsZ_{s}^{\mathrm{sm}}\subset Z_{s}, the embeddings ψs:Zssm↪Ws\psi_{s}:Z_{s}^{\mathrm{sm}}\hookrightarrow W_{s} and a family of Kähler metrics on ZsZ_{s} in the class ν0log⁡|s|​(1+o​(1))\frac{\nu_{0}}{\log|s|}(1+o(1)) such that the pairs (Zs,Zs\Zssm)(Z_{s},Z_{s}\backslash Z_{s}^{\mathrm{sm}}) converges to the pair (Σ,D)(\Sigma,D) in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense, and the maps ψs\psi_{s} identify (uniformly in x∈Zssmx\in Z_{s}^{\mathrm{sm}}) the scalar products and the complex structures on the tangent spaces Tx​ZsT_{x}Z_{s} and Tψs​(x)​WsT_{\psi_{s}(x)}W_{s} up to terms of order o⁡(1)o(1).

Proof.

We consider the bi-PIKAS family in a neighborhood of (λ0,ν0)(\lambda_{0},\nu_{0}) and extend it by rescaling to (a neighborhood of) the ray (λ,ν)=(log⁡|a|+log⁡|s|⋅λ0,ν0log⁡|s|)(\lambda,\nu)=\left(\log|a|+\log|s|\cdot\lambda_{0},\frac{\nu_{0}}{\log|s|}\right) in SC⁡(S)×SC⁡(T)\operatorname{SC}(S)\times\operatorname{SC}(T).

The CiC_{i}-estimates for the (λ,ν)(\lambda,\nu) bi-PIKAS considered in the bi-PIKAS metric (rather than in Euclidean) are equivalent to the corresponding estimates for the rescaled structure ((log⁡|s|)−1​λ,log⁡|s|​ν)((\log|s|)^{-1}\lambda,\log|s|\nu) made in the Euclidean metric as before. This is because the Euclidean metric on ∂Δλ0\partial\Delta_{\lambda_{0}} is equivalent to the bi-PIKAS metric on Σ\Sigma. But to pass from (λ,ν)(\lambda,\nu) to ((log⁡|s|)−1​λ,log⁡|s|​ν)((\log|s|)^{-1}\lambda,\log|s|\nu) we will need to rescale all the parameters as well:

λ∼λ0​log​|s|,β∼β0​log​|s|,γ∼γ0​log​|s|,h∼h0​log​|s|,c∼c0​log​|s|,\displaystyle\lambda\sim\lambda_{0}\log|s|,\ \beta\sim\beta_{0}\log|s|,\ \gamma\sim\gamma_{0}\log|s|,\ h\sim h_{0}\log|s|,\ c\sim c_{0}\log|s|,
ν∼ν0log⁡|s|,β∨∼β0∨log⁡|s|,Hess⁡Φ∼Hess⁡Φ0(log⁡|s|)2.\displaystyle\nu\sim\frac{\nu_{0}}{\log|s|},\ \beta^{\vee}\sim\frac{\beta^{\vee}_{0}}{\log|s|},\ \operatorname{Hess}\Phi\sim\frac{\operatorname{Hess}\Phi_{0}}{(\log|s|)^{2}}.

Or equivalently, we could apply the log map with the base |s||s| as in [HZ02].

We saw in the proof of Lemma 4.4 that Hess⁡Φλ0+γ0sm\operatorname{Hess}\Phi^{\mathrm{sm}}_{\lambda_{0}+\gamma_{0}} is degenerate along ℱ\mathcal{F} outside Δλ0+γ0+h0∨\Delta^{\vee}_{\lambda_{0}+\gamma_{0}+h_{0}}. This argument extended to the entire toric variety shows that up to terms of order O⁡(ϵ)O(\epsilon), the set XT\log−1⁡(Δλ0+γ0+h0∨)X_{T}\backslash\log^{-1}(\Delta^{\vee}_{\lambda_{0}+\gamma_{0}+h_{0}}) (which contains ZsZ_{s}) has distance from ∂Δλ∨\partial\Delta^{\vee}_{\lambda} bounded by the diameters of the torus fibers 𝕋\mathbb{T}. The size of the tori 𝕋\mathbb{T} is determined by the norm of Hess⁡Φλ+γsm\operatorname{Hess}\Phi^{\mathrm{sm}}_{\lambda+\gamma} at the corresponding point, which is bounded by C1​(γ0)(log⁡|s|)2\frac{C_{1}(\gamma_{0})}{(\log|s|)^{2}}.

The rest of the proof consists of careful picks for asymptotics of the rescaled parameters β0,β0∨,h,γ0,c0,ϵ\beta_{0},\beta^{\vee}_{0},h,\gamma_{0},c_{0},\epsilon to ensure that the following expressions

β0,β0∨,γ0,c0,h0,\displaystyle\beta_{0},\quad\beta^{\vee}_{0},\quad\gamma_{0},\quad c_{0},\quad h_{0},

go to 0 as log⁡|s|→∞\log|s|\to\infty, where the first two lines take care of the Hausdorff convergence, and the last two give matching of the complex structure and the metric under the embedding ψ:Zssm→Ws\psi:Z^{\mathrm{sm}}_{s}\to W_{s}

For instance, we can choose

β0∨∼1log⁡|s|,γ0∼C1−1​(log⁡|s|),c0∼1log⁡|s|,h0∼1log⁡|s|.\beta^{\vee}_{0}\sim\frac{1}{\log|s|},\quad\gamma_{0}\sim C_{1}^{-1}(\log|s|),\quad c_{0}\sim\frac{1}{\log|s|},\quad h_{0}\sim\frac{1}{\log|s|}.

And β0​(log⁡|s|)\beta_{0}(\log|s|) has satisfy C1​(1log⁡|s|​e−β0​log⁡|s|)<log⁡|s|C_{1}(\frac{1}{\log|s|}e^{-\beta_{0}\log|s|})<\log|s| (i.e. e−β<γe^{-\beta}<\gamma, which is needed for the proof of Lemma 4.4) and

(log⁡|s|)3​C0​(β0)​e−β0​log⁡|s|→0,(\log|s|)^{3}C_{0}(\beta_{0})e^{-\beta_{0}\log|s|}\to 0,

which is possible due to the fast decreasing factor of e−β0​log⁡|s|e^{-\beta_{0}\log|s|} when β0​(log⁡|s|)\beta_{0}(\log|s|) is changing slowly.

Finally, notice that the bi-PIKAS of type ((log⁡|s|)−1⋅λ,log⁡|s|⋅ν)=(λ0+(log⁡|s|)−1​log​|a|,ν0)((\log|s|)^{-1}\cdot\lambda,\log|s|\cdot\nu)=(\lambda_{0}+(\log|s|)^{-1}\log|a|,\nu_{0}) converges to the (λ0,ν0)(\lambda_{0},\nu_{0})-bi-PIKAS. ∎

Remark.

We can rephrase the above theorem in terms of the alternate definition of the torus bundles W1log⁡|s|​(λ0,ν0)W_{\frac{1}{\log|s|}}(\lambda_{0},\nu_{0}) associated to the given Kähler affine structure on Σ\Sigma. Then the statement of the theorem will coincide with the Conjecture 2 of [KS01].
