4.3. Asymptotic for the first order ansatz II

This Section proves exponential decay estimate for higher Fourier modes γi−γ¯i\gamma_{i}-\bar{\gamma}_{i} in the region bounded away from SS. The main idea is that the Laplace equation together with the vanishing of the zeroth Fourier modes imply exponential decay through Fourier analysis; this discussion is parallel to Section 3.2.

Lemma 4.12.

In the region defined by (4.14) we have |γ4−γ¯4|≤CA−1/4|\gamma_{4}-\bar{\gamma}_{4}|\leq CA^{-1/4}. For i=1,2,3i=1,2,3, in the subset of the region (4.14) where distga′​(⋅,𝔇i)≳A1/4\text{dist}_{g_{a}^{\prime}}(\cdot,\mathfrak{D}_{i})\gtrsim A^{1/4} we have |γi−γ¯i|≤CA−1/4|\gamma_{i}-\bar{\gamma}_{i}|\leq CA^{-1/4}.

Proof.

Consider γ4\gamma_{4} at a given point in the region (4.14). Its integral formula (4.11) can be split into two parts, corresponding to far away sources |(y1−y1′,y2−y2′,μ)|a′≳A1/4|(y_{1}-y_{1}^{\prime},y_{2}-y_{2}^{\prime},\mu)|_{a}^{\prime}\gtrsim A^{1/4} and nearby sources |(y1−y1′,y2−y2′,μ)|a′≲A1/4|(y_{1}-y_{1}^{\prime},y_{2}-y_{2}^{\prime},\mu)|_{a}^{\prime}\lesssim A^{1/4}.

For far away sources, we use Lemma 4.1 to write the integrand γ\gamma as a dominant term −14​π​𝔸​|(y1−y1′,y2−y2′,μ)|a′-\frac{1}{4\pi\sqrt{\mathbb{A}}|(y_{1}-y_{1}^{\prime},y_{2}-y_{2}^{\prime},\mu)|_{a}^{\prime}} plus a remainder term estimated by C|(y1−y1′,y2−y2′,μ)|a′3\frac{C}{|(y_{1}-y_{1}^{\prime},y_{2}-y_{2}^{\prime},\mu)|_{a}^{\prime 3}}. The dominant term does not contribute to γ4−γ¯4\gamma_{4}-\bar{\gamma}_{4} because it is constant in the x1,x2x_{1},x_{2} direction. The remainder term contribution to γ4\gamma_{4} is bounded by

CA1/2Im∫S∩{dist≳A1/4}1|(y1−y1′,y2−y2′,μ)|a′3−1dη2′∧dη¯1′≤CA−1/4.CA^{1/2}\text{Im}\int_{S\cap\{\text{dist}\gtrsim A^{1/4}\}}\frac{1}{|(y_{1}-y_{1}^{\prime},y_{2}-y_{2}^{\prime},\mu)|_{a}^{\prime 3}}\sqrt{-1}d\eta_{2}^{\prime}\wedge d\bar{\eta}_{1}^{\prime}\leq CA^{-1/4}.

The contribution from nearby sources only arises if our given point of interest is too close to SS along one of 𝔇1\mathfrak{D}_{1}, 𝔇2\mathfrak{D}_{2} or 𝔇3\mathfrak{D}_{3} directions; we focus on 𝔇1\mathfrak{D}_{1}. Lemma 4.2 allows us to write γ\gamma as −18​π2​|(η1−η1′,η2−η2′,μ)|a3-\frac{1}{8\pi^{2}|(\eta_{1}-\eta_{1}^{\prime},\eta_{2}-\eta_{2}^{\prime},\mu)|_{a}^{3}} plus a well controlled remainder term. By the exponential decay property of the measure Im​−1​d​η2′∧d​η¯1′\text{Im}\sqrt{-1}d\eta_{2}^{\prime}\wedge d\bar{\eta}_{1}^{\prime},

CA1/2e−2​π​y2∫S∩{dist≲A1/4}−1​d​η1′∧d​η¯1′|(η1−η1′,η2−η2′,μ)|a3≤Ce−2​π​y2R−1≤CA−1/4.\begin{split}&CA^{1/2}e^{-2\pi y_{2}}\int_{S\cap\{\text{dist}\lesssim A^{1/4}\}}\frac{\sqrt{-1}d\eta_{1}^{\prime}\wedge d\bar{\eta}_{1}^{\prime}}{|(\eta_{1}-\eta_{1}^{\prime},\eta_{2}-\eta_{2}^{\prime},\mu)|_{a}^{3}}\leq Ce^{-2\pi y_{2}}R^{-1}\leq CA^{-1/4}.\end{split}

Combining the above shows |γ4−γ¯4|≤CA−1/4|\gamma_{4}-\bar{\gamma}_{4}|\leq CA^{-1/4}.

All these arguments carry through to γ1,γ2,γ3\gamma_{1},\gamma_{2},\gamma_{3} except the exponential decay of the measure. This is compensated by staying sufficiently far from 𝔇i\mathfrak{D}_{i}. ∎

Proposition 4.13.

(Exponential decay for higher Fourier modes in the first order ansatz) In the region where distga′​(⋅,Im​(S))≳A1/4\text{dist}_{g_{a}^{\prime}}(\cdot,\text{Im}(S))\gtrsim A^{1/4},

(4.18) |γi−γ¯i|≤CA−1/4ℓ~e−ℓ~,ℓ~=κadistga′(⋅,Im(S)),i=1,2,3,4,|\gamma_{i}-\bar{\gamma}_{i}|\leq CA^{-1/4}\tilde{\ell}e^{-\tilde{\ell}},\quad\tilde{\ell}=\kappa_{a}\text{dist}_{g_{a}^{\prime}}(\cdot,\text{Im}(S)),\quad i=1,2,3,4,

where κa\kappa_{a} is the minimum of kn1,n2=2​π​(A​ap​q¯​np​nq𝔸)1/2k_{n_{1},n_{2}}=2\pi(\frac{Aa^{p\bar{q}}n_{p}n_{q}}{\mathbb{A}})^{1/2} for all (n1,n2)∈ℤ2∖{0}(n_{1},n_{2})\in\mathbb{Z}^{2}\setminus\{0\}.

Proof.

This proof is parallel to Proposition 3.5, so will be sketchy. We focus on γ4−γ¯4\gamma_{4}-\bar{\gamma}_{4} as the same arguments work for γi−γ¯i\gamma_{i}-\bar{\gamma}_{i}.

We perform Fourier decomposition in the periodic variables x1,x2x_{1},x_{2},

γ4−γ¯4=∑(n1,n2)∈ℤ2∖{0}hn1,n2​(y1,y2,μ)​e2​π​i​n1​x1+2​π​i​n2​x2.\gamma_{4}-\bar{\gamma}_{4}=\sum_{(n_{1},n_{2})\in\mathbb{Z}^{2}\setminus\{0\}}h_{n_{1},n_{2}}(y_{1},y_{2},\mu)e^{2\pi in_{1}x_{1}+2\pi in_{2}x_{2}}.

The zeroth Fourier mode vanishes by construction. Parseval identity combined with Lemma 4.12 shows

∑n1,n2|hn1,n2|2=∫01∫01|γ4−γ¯4|2dx1dx2≤CA−1/2.\sum_{n_{1},n_{2}}|h_{n_{1},n_{2}}|^{2}=\int_{0}^{1}\int_{0}^{1}|\gamma_{4}-\bar{\gamma}_{4}|^{2}dx_{1}dx_{2}\leq CA^{-1/2}.

Over the region (4.14), according to Proposition 4.4 and (4.16)

Δa​(γ4−γ¯4)=0,\Delta_{a}(\gamma_{4}-\bar{\gamma}_{4})=0,

which translates into the Helmholtz type equations

Δa′​hn1,n2−4​π​−1​Im​(a1​2¯)​(n1​∂hn1,n2∂y2−n2​∂hn1,n2∂y1)−4​π2​(ap​q¯​np​nq)​hn1,n2=0.\Delta_{a}^{\prime}h_{n_{1},n_{2}}-4\pi\sqrt{-1}\text{Im}(a^{1\bar{2}})(n_{1}\frac{\partial h_{n_{1},n_{2}}}{\partial y_{2}}-n_{2}\frac{\partial h_{n_{1},n_{2}}}{\partial y_{1}})-4\pi^{2}(a^{p\bar{q}}n_{p}n_{q})h_{n_{1},n_{2}}=0.

After the variable substitution

h~n1,n2=hn1,n2​exp⁡(2​π​i​Im​(a1​2¯)𝔸​(a1​1¯​n2​y1−Re​(a1​2¯)​n1​y1+Re​(a1​2¯)​n2​y2−a2​2¯​n1​y2)),\tilde{h}_{n_{1},n_{2}}=h_{n_{1},n_{2}}\exp\left(\frac{2\pi i\text{Im}(a_{1\bar{2}})}{\mathbb{A}}(a_{1\bar{1}}n_{2}y_{1}-\text{Re}(a_{1\bar{2}})n_{1}y_{1}+\text{Re}(a_{1\bar{2}})n_{2}y_{2}-a_{2\bar{2}}n_{1}y_{2})\right),

these equations become the Helmholtz equations on ℝy1,y22×ℝμ\mathbb{R}^{2}_{y_{1},y_{2}}\times\mathbb{R}_{\mu},

Δa′​h~n1,n2=kn1,n22​h~n1,n2,\Delta_{a}^{\prime}\tilde{h}_{n_{1},n_{2}}=k_{n_{1},n_{2}}^{2}\tilde{h}_{n_{1},n_{2}},

where we denote kn1,n2=2​π​(ap​q¯​np​nq)1/2​(A𝔸)1/2k_{n_{1},n_{2}}=2\pi(a^{p\bar{q}}n_{p}n_{q})^{1/2}(\frac{A}{\mathbb{A}})^{1/2}.

The rest of the argument is substantially similar to Proposition 3.5. Observe that |distga′​(⋅,Im​(S))−R|≤C​A1/4|\text{dist}_{g_{a}^{\prime}}(\cdot,\text{Im}(S))-R|\leq CA^{1/4}. An upper barrier supersolution to the Helmholtz equation is directly constructed as

hn1,n2′=A−1/4{∫𝔇1e−kn1,n2​|(y1,y2−s,μ)|a′ds+∫𝔇2e−kn1,n2​|(y1−s,y2,μ)|a′ds+∫𝔇3e−kn1,n2​|(y1−s,y2−s,μ)|a′ds},\begin{split}h_{n_{1},n_{2}}^{\prime}=A^{-1/4}&\{\int_{\mathfrak{D}_{1}}e^{-k_{n_{1},n_{2}}|(y_{1},y_{2}-s,\mu)|_{a}^{\prime}}ds+\int_{\mathfrak{D}_{2}}e^{-k_{n_{1},n_{2}}|(y_{1}-s,y_{2},\mu)|_{a}^{\prime}}ds\\ &+\int_{\mathfrak{D}_{3}}e^{-k_{n_{1},n_{2}}|(y_{1}-s,y_{2}-s,\mu)|_{a}^{\prime}}ds\},\end{split}

where d​s=d​y2,d​y1,−d​y1ds=dy_{2},dy_{1},-dy_{1} on 𝔇1,𝔇2,𝔇3\mathfrak{D}_{1},\mathfrak{D}_{2},\mathfrak{D}_{3} respectively. Comparing the real and imaginary parts of h~n1,n2\tilde{h}_{n_{1},n_{2}} with C⁡(|n1|+|n2|)​hn1,n2′C(|n_{1}|+|n_{2}|)h_{n_{1},n_{2}}^{\prime} yields the result. ∎

By the topological description (cf. Section 1.1.4 and 1.1.5), we can lift the T2⊂(ℂ∗)2×ℝμT^{2}\subset(\mathbb{C}^{*})^{2}\times\mathbb{R}_{\mu} to a T2T^{2}-cycle on the total space of the singular S1S^{1}-bundle, namely the monodromy invariant T2T^{2}-cycle for the topological T3T^{3}-fibration. As an application of the asymptotes above, we shall evaluate (up to sign) the integral of the closed 2-form ω(1)\omega^{(1)} on this T2T^{2}-cycle.

Lemma 4.14.

The integral ∫T2ω(1)=Im​(a2​1¯)\int_{T^{2}}\omega^{(1)}=\text{Im}(a_{2\bar{1}}).

Proof.

As a preliminary remark, although ω(1)\omega^{(1)} is a Kähler form only in a bounded region, it makes sense as a closed 2-form over the entire (ℂ∗)2×ℝμ(\mathbb{C}^{*})^{2}\times\mathbb{R}_{\mu}. The integral ∫T2ω(1)\int_{T^{2}}\omega^{(1)} is a cohomological invariant, which can be evaluated asymptotically on a T2T^{2}-cycle as η1,η2\eta_{1},\eta_{2} stay bounded and μ→+∞\mu\to+\infty. By choosing the T2T^{2}-cycle on which μ,y1,y2\mu,y_{1},y_{2} are constants,

∫T2ω(1)=−12​∫T2W(1)p​q¯​d​ηp∧d​η¯q=−12​∫T2(W(1)1​2¯−W(1)2​1¯)​d​x1∧d​x2=∫T2Im​(W(1)2​1¯)​d​x1∧d​x2=Im​(a2​1¯)+∫T2γ4​d​x1∧d​x2.\begin{split}\int_{T^{2}}\omega^{(1)}=&\frac{\sqrt{-1}}{2}\int_{T^{2}}W^{p\bar{q}}_{(1)}d\eta_{p}\wedge d\bar{\eta}_{q}=\frac{\sqrt{-1}}{2}\int_{T^{2}}(W^{1\bar{2}}_{(1)}-W^{2\bar{1}}_{(1)})dx_{1}\wedge dx_{2}\\ =&\int_{T^{2}}\text{Im}(W^{2\bar{1}}_{(1)})dx_{1}\wedge dx_{2}=\text{Im}(a_{2\bar{1}})+\int_{T^{2}}\gamma_{4}dx_{1}\wedge dx_{2}.\end{split}

But by Lemma 4.10 and Proposition 4.13, the quantity γ4→0\gamma_{4}\to 0 as μ→+∞\mu\to+\infty, so the only contribution is ∫T2ω(1)=Im​(a2​1¯).\int_{T^{2}}\omega^{(1)}=\text{Im}(a_{2\bar{1}}). ∎
