6.5. Behavior under base change

Fix m∈ℤ>0m\in{\mathbb{Z}}_{>0}. As before, denote by X′X^{\prime} the base change of XX to K′=ℂ⁡((t1/m))K^{\prime}={\mathbb{C}}(\!({t}^{1/m})\!), with induced map p:X′an→Xanp\colon X^{\prime\mathrm{an}}\to X^{\mathrm{an}}.

Theorem 6.7.

Let ψ#\psi^{\#} be a residually metrized model metric on KXK_{X}, and let ψ′#\psi^{\prime\#} be its pull-back to X′X^{\prime}. Then

p∗​μψ′#=md​μψ#p_{*}\mu_{\psi^{\prime\#}}=m^{d}\mu_{\psi^{\#}}

with d=dimSk⁡(ψ#)d=\dim\operatorname{Sk}(\psi^{\#}).

Proof.

Pick a representative ℒ#=(ℒ,ψ0){\mathcal{L}}^{\#}=({\mathcal{L}},\psi_{0}) of ψ#\psi^{\#} such that ℒ{\mathcal{L}} is defined on a proper snc model 𝒳{\mathcal{X}}. Let 𝒳′{\mathcal{X}}^{\prime} be the normalized base change by t=t′m{t}={t}^{\prime m}.

Let σ\sigma be a dd-dimensional face of Δ⁡(ℒ)\Delta({\mathcal{L}}). By Lemma 5.13, p−1​(σ)p^{-1}(\sigma) is the union of gσg_{\sigma} distinct isomorphic faces σα′\sigma^{\prime}_{\alpha} of Δ⁡(𝒳)\Delta({\mathcal{X}}) such that

bσα′=bσ/gcd⁡(m,bσ)b_{\sigma^{\prime}_{\alpha}}=b_{\sigma}/\gcd(m,b_{\sigma}) (6.2)
Vol⁡(σα′)=md​Vol⁡(σ).\operatorname{Vol}(\sigma^{\prime}_{\alpha})=m^{d}\operatorname{Vol}(\sigma). (6.3)

Further, the induced map Yσα′′→YY^{\prime}_{\sigma^{\prime}_{\alpha}}\to Y is generically finite, of degree fσf_{\sigma} independent of α\alpha, and we have fσ​gσ=gcd⁡(m,bσ)f_{\sigma}g_{\sigma}=\gcd(m,b_{\sigma}). Pick a toroidal modification 𝒳′′→𝒳′{\mathcal{X}}^{\prime\prime}\to{\mathcal{X}}^{\prime} with 𝒳′′{\mathcal{X}}^{\prime\prime} snc, denote by ρ:𝒳′′→𝒳\rho\colon{\mathcal{X}}^{\prime\prime}\to{\mathcal{X}} the composition, and set ℒ′′:=ρ∗​ℒ{\mathcal{L}}^{\prime\prime}:=\rho^{*}{\mathcal{L}}.

Each face σα′\sigma^{\prime}_{\alpha} above is subdivided into simplices σα​β′′\sigma^{\prime\prime}_{\alpha\beta} of Δ⁡(ℒ′′)\Delta({\mathcal{L}}^{\prime\prime}) of dimension dd, each corresponding to a stratum Yα​β′′Y^{\prime\prime}_{\alpha\beta} of 𝒳0′′{\mathcal{X}}^{\prime\prime}_{0}, and ρ|Yα​β′′:Yα​β′′→Y\rho|_{Y^{\prime\prime}_{\alpha\beta}}\colon Y^{\prime\prime}_{\alpha\beta}\to Y is generically finite, of degree fσf_{\sigma}. Further, (6.2) implies that

bσα​β′′=bσα′=bσ/gcd⁡(m,bσ)for all α,β.b_{\sigma^{\prime\prime}_{\alpha\beta}}=b_{\sigma^{\prime}_{\alpha}}=b_{\sigma}/\gcd(m,b_{\sigma})\quad\text{for all $\alpha,\beta$}. (6.4)

We shall need the following result:

Lemma 6.8.

With notation as above, we have, for all α\alpha, β\beta:

ResYα​β′′(ℒ′′#)=gcd(m,bσ)−2ρ∗ResY(ℒ#).\operatorname{Res}_{Y^{\prime\prime}_{\alpha\beta}}({\mathcal{L}}^{\prime\prime\#})=\gcd(m,b_{\sigma})^{-2}\rho^{*}\operatorname{Res}_{Y}({\mathcal{L}}^{\#}).

Grant this result for the moment. Lemma 6.8 implies

∫Yα​β′′ResYα​β′′(ℒ′′#)=fσgcd(m,bσ)−2∫YResY(ℒ#),\int_{Y^{\prime\prime}_{\alpha\beta}}\operatorname{Res}_{Y^{\prime\prime}_{\alpha\beta}}({\mathcal{L}}^{\prime\prime\#})=f_{\sigma}\gcd(m,b_{\sigma})^{-2}\int_{Y}\operatorname{Res}_{Y}({\mathcal{L}}^{\#}),

and hence

(p∗μ′)(σ)=∑α,βμ′(σ′′α​β)=∑α,β(∫Yα​β′′ResYα​β′′(ℒ′′#))bσα​β′′−1Vol(σ′′α​β)=fσ​gcd⁡(m,bσ)−2​(∫YResY⁡(ℒ#))​bσ−1​gcd⁡(m,bσ)​∑αVol⁡(σα′)=md​(∫YResY⁡(ℒ#))​bσ−1​Vol⁡(σ)=md​μ​(σ),(p_{*}\mu^{\prime})(\sigma)=\sum_{\alpha,\beta}\mu^{\prime}(\sigma^{\prime\prime}_{\alpha\beta})=\sum_{\alpha,\beta}\left(\int_{Y^{\prime\prime}_{\alpha\beta}}\operatorname{Res}_{Y^{\prime\prime}_{\alpha\beta}}({\mathcal{L}}^{\prime\prime\#})\right)b_{\sigma^{\prime\prime}_{\alpha\beta}}^{-1}\operatorname{Vol}(\sigma^{\prime\prime}_{\alpha\beta})\\ =f_{\sigma}\gcd(m,b_{\sigma})^{-2}\left(\int_{Y}\operatorname{Res}_{Y}({\mathcal{L}}^{\#})\right)b_{\sigma}^{-1}\gcd(m,b_{\sigma})\sum_{\alpha}\operatorname{Vol}(\sigma^{\prime}_{\alpha})\\ =m^{d}\left(\int_{Y}\operatorname{Res}_{Y}({\mathcal{L}}^{\#})\right)b_{\sigma}^{-1}\operatorname{Vol}(\sigma)=m^{d}\mu(\sigma),

thanks to (6.3) and (6.4). ∎

Proof of Lemma 6.8.

Pick a closed point ξ′′∈Y′′̊\xi^{\prime\prime}\in\mathring{Y^{\prime\prime}} and set ξ=ρ⁡(ξ′′)∈Y̊\xi=\rho(\xi^{\prime\prime})\in\mathring{Y}. We use the notation at the end of §6.2 with p=dp=d. Namely, pick local coordinates (zi)0≤i≤n(z_{i})_{0\leq i\leq n} at ξ\xi and (zj′′)0≤j≤n(z^{\prime\prime}_{j})_{0\leq j\leq n} at ξ′′\xi^{\prime\prime} such that Ei={zi=0}E_{i}=\{z_{i}=0\} for 0≤i≤d0\leq i\leq d and Ej′′={zj′′=0}E^{\prime\prime}_{j}=\{z_{j}^{\prime\prime}=0\} for 0≤j≤d0\leq j\leq d. We have ρ∗​zi=ui​∏j=0d(zj′′)ci​j\rho^{*}z_{i}=u_{i}\prod_{j=0}^{d}(z^{\prime\prime}_{j})^{c_{ij}} for 0≤i≤d0\leq i\leq d, where ci​j∈ℤ≥0c_{ij}\in{\mathbb{Z}}_{\geq 0} and ui∈𝒪𝒳′′,ξ′′u_{i}\in{\mathcal{O}}_{{\mathcal{X}}^{\prime\prime},\xi^{\prime\prime}} is a unit. Further, by Lemma 5.13, the matrix (ci​j)(c_{ij}) has determinant ±eσ\pm e_{\sigma}, where eσ=m/gcd⁡(m,bσ)e_{\sigma}=m/\gcd(m,b_{\sigma}).

Set

Ω1:=d​z0z0∧⋯∧d​zdzdandΩ2:=d​zd+1∧⋯∧d​zn,\Omega_{1}:=\frac{dz_{0}}{z_{0}}\wedge\dots\wedge\frac{dz_{d}}{z_{d}}{\quad\text{and}\quad}\Omega_{2}:=dz_{d+1}\wedge\dots\wedge dz_{n},

and define Ω1′′\Omega_{1}^{\prime\prime}, Ω2′′\Omega^{\prime\prime}_{2} similarly. Then Ω:=Ω1∧Ω2\Omega:=\Omega_{1}\wedge\Omega_{2} and Ω′′:=Ω1′′∧Ω2′′\Omega^{\prime\prime}:=\Omega^{\prime\prime}_{1}\wedge\Omega_{2}^{\prime\prime} are local ℚ{\mathbb{Q}}-generators of K𝒳logK^{\mathrm{log}}_{\mathcal{X}} and K𝒳′′logK^{\mathrm{log}}_{{\mathcal{X}}^{\prime\prime}} at ξ\xi and ξ′′\xi^{\prime\prime}, respectively. Further,

ResY⁡(Ω)=Ω2|YandResY′′⁡(Ω′′)=Ω2′′|Y′′.\operatorname{Res}_{Y}(\Omega)=\Omega_{2}|_{Y}{\quad\text{and}\quad}\operatorname{Res}_{Y^{\prime\prime}}(\Omega^{\prime\prime})=\Omega^{\prime\prime}_{2}|_{Y^{\prime\prime}}.

Now

ρ∗​Ω1=±eσ​Ω1′′+1z0′′​…​zd′′​Ω~1′′,\rho^{*}\Omega_{1}=\pm e_{\sigma}\Omega^{\prime\prime}_{1}+\frac{1}{z_{0}^{\prime\prime}\dots z^{\prime\prime}_{d}}\tilde{\Omega}^{\prime\prime}_{1},

where Ω~1′′\tilde{\Omega}^{\prime\prime}_{1} is a regular (d+1)(d+1)-form vanishing at ξ′′\xi^{\prime\prime}, and

ρ∗​Ω2=q​Ω2′′+Ω~2′′,\rho^{*}\Omega_{2}=q\Omega^{\prime\prime}_{2}+\tilde{\Omega}^{\prime\prime}_{2},

where q∈𝒪𝒳,ξ′′q\in{\mathcal{O}}_{{\mathcal{X}},\xi^{\prime\prime}} and Ω~2′′\tilde{\Omega}^{\prime\prime}_{2} is a regular (n−d)(n-d)-form at ξ′′\xi^{\prime\prime} satisfying Ω1′′∧Ω~2′′=0\Omega^{\prime\prime}_{1}\wedge\tilde{\Omega}^{\prime\prime}_{2}=0. On the one hand, this leads to

(ρ|Y′′)∗​ResY⁡(Ω)=(ρ|Y′′)∗​(Ω2|Y)=q​Ω2′′|Y′′=q​ResY′′⁡(Ω′′).(\rho|_{Y^{\prime\prime}})^{*}\operatorname{Res}_{Y}(\Omega)=(\rho|_{Y^{\prime\prime}})^{*}(\Omega_{2}|_{Y})=q\Omega^{\prime\prime}_{2}|_{Y^{\prime\prime}}=q\operatorname{Res}_{Y^{\prime\prime}}(\Omega^{\prime\prime}).

On the other hand, we also get

ρ∗​Ω=±q​eσ​(1+h)​Ω′′,\rho^{*}\Omega=\pm qe_{\sigma}(1+h)\Omega^{\prime\prime},

with qq as above and h∈𝒪𝒳′′,ξ′′h\in{\mathcal{O}}_{{\mathcal{X}}^{\prime\prime},\xi^{\prime\prime}} vanishing along Y′′Y^{\prime\prime}.

Define Ωrel\Omega^{\mathrm{rel}} and Ωrel′′\Omega^{{}^{\prime\prime}\mathrm{rel}} by d​tt⊗Ωrel=Ω\frac{d{t}}{{t}}\otimes\Omega^{\mathrm{rel}}=\Omega and d​t′t′⊗Ωrel′′=Ω′′\frac{d{t}^{\prime}}{{t}^{\prime}}\otimes\Omega^{{}^{\prime\prime}\mathrm{rel}}=\Omega^{\prime\prime}, respectively. Then

md​t′t′⊗ρ∗Ωrel=ρ∗(d​tt)⊗ρ∗Ωrel=ρ∗Ω=±qeσ(1+h)Ω′′=±qeσ(1+h)d​t′t′⊗Ωrel′′,m\frac{d{t}^{\prime}}{{t}^{\prime}}\otimes\rho^{*}\Omega^{\mathrm{rel}}=\rho^{*}(\frac{d{t}}{{t}})\otimes\rho^{*}\Omega^{\mathrm{rel}}=\rho^{*}\Omega=\pm qe_{\sigma}(1+h)\Omega^{\prime\prime}=\pm qe_{\sigma}(1+h)\frac{d{t}^{\prime}}{{t}^{\prime}}\otimes\Omega^{{}^{\prime\prime}\mathrm{rel}},

so that

ρ∗​Ωrel=±eσm​q​(1+h)​Ωrel′′.\rho^{*}\Omega^{\mathrm{rel}}=\pm\frac{e_{\sigma}}{m}q(1+h)\Omega^{{}^{\prime\prime}\mathrm{rel}}.

As a consequence,

ρ∗​|tκmin​Ωrel|ψ0=eσm​|q|​|(1+h)||(t′)κmin′​Ωrel′′|ψ0′.\rho^{*}|{t}^{\kappa_{\min}}\Omega^{\mathrm{rel}}|_{\psi_{0}}=\frac{e_{\sigma}}{m}|q||(1+h)||({t}^{\prime})^{\kappa^{\prime}_{\min}}\Omega^{{}^{\prime\prime}\mathrm{rel}}|_{\psi^{\prime}_{0}}.

Since hh vanishes along Y′′Y^{\prime\prime}, this finally leads to

(ρ|Y′′)∗​ResY⁡(ℒ#)=(ρ|Y′′)∗​|ResY⁡(Ω)|2(ρ|Y′′)∗​|tκmin​Ωrel|ψ02=|(ρ|Y′′)∗​(Ω2|Y)|2eσ2m2​|q|2​|(t′)κmin′​Ωrel′′|ψ0′2=(meσ)2​|ResY′′⁡(Ω′′)|2|(t′)κmin′​Ωrel′′|ψ0′2=(meσ)2​ResY′′⁡(ℒ#′′),(\rho|_{Y^{\prime\prime}})^{*}\operatorname{Res}_{Y}({\mathcal{L}}^{\#})=\frac{(\rho|_{Y^{\prime\prime}})^{*}|\operatorname{Res}_{Y}(\Omega)|^{2}}{(\rho|_{Y^{\prime\prime}})^{*}|{t}^{\kappa_{\min}}\Omega^{\mathrm{rel}}|^{2}_{\psi_{0}}}=\frac{|(\rho|_{Y^{\prime\prime}})^{*}(\Omega_{2}|_{Y})|^{2}}{\frac{e^{2}_{\sigma}}{m^{2}}|q|^{2}|({t}^{\prime})^{\kappa^{\prime}_{\min}}\Omega^{{}^{\prime\prime}\mathrm{rel}}|_{\psi^{\prime}_{0}}^{2}}\\ =\left(\frac{m}{e_{\sigma}}\right)^{2}\frac{|\operatorname{Res}_{Y^{\prime\prime}}(\Omega^{\prime\prime})|^{2}}{|({t}^{\prime})^{\kappa^{\prime}_{\min}}\Omega^{{}^{\prime\prime}\mathrm{rel}}|_{\psi^{\prime}_{0}}^{2}}=\left(\frac{m}{e_{\sigma}}\right)^{2}\operatorname{Res}_{Y^{\prime\prime}}({\mathcal{L}}^{{}^{\prime\prime}\#}),

which completes the proof since eσ=mgcd⁡(bσ,m)e_{\sigma}=\frac{m}{\gcd(b_{\sigma},m)}. ∎
