Proof.
If is an SNC model on which is determined, then it follows from Proposition 7.6 (ii) that the supremum of any is attained on . This implies the continuity of .
To prove properness, recall that embeds in . By Tychonoff’s theorem, the compactness of
is therefore equivalent to the compactness in of the closure of the image of in , for each SNC model on which is determined. But this is a direct consequence of Corollary 7.7 and Ascoli’s theorem.
For the last statement, it is clear that convergence in implies pointwise convergence on which in turn implies pointwise convergence on . Now let be a net of -psh functions converging pointwise to on . Fix any SNC model on which is determined. We must show that converges uniformly to on . But is the image under of the rational points in by Corollary 3.13, and is therefore dense in . The uniform convergence on therefore follows from the equicontinuity statement in Corollary 7.7. ∎
