5.4. Algebraic metrics from toric models

Next we study some properties of the algebraic metrics that arise from toric models. This kind of metrics will be called toric algebraic metrics. Thus, we assume that KK is a complete field with respect to an absolute value associated to a nontrivial discrete valuation. We keep the usual notations. We fix a complete fan Σ\Sigma in NℝN_{\mathbb{R}}.

We begin by studying the relationship between the maps val{\operatorname{val}} and red{\operatorname{red}}.

Lemma 5.39.

Let Π\Pi be a complete SCR polyhedral complex of NℝN_{\mathbb{R}} such that rec⁡(Π)=Σ\operatorname{rec}(\Pi)=\Sigma. Let 𝒳:=𝒳Π{\mathcal{X}}:={\mathcal{X}}_{\Pi} be the model of XΣX_{\Sigma} determined by Π\Pi. Let Λ∈Π\Lambda\in\Pi and p∈X0anp\in X_{0}^{{\text{\rm an}}}. Then red⁡(p)∈𝒳Λ{\operatorname{red}}(p)\in{\mathcal{X}}_{\Lambda} if and only if valK⁡(p)∈Λ{\operatorname{val}}_{K}(p)\in\Lambda.

Proof.

By the definition of the semigroup M~Λ{\widetilde{M}}_{\Lambda}, the condition val⁡(p)∈Λ{\operatorname{val}}(p)\in\Lambda holds if and only in ⟨m,val⁡(p)⟩+l≥0\langle m,{\operatorname{val}}(p)\rangle+l\geq 0 for all (m,l)∈M~Λ(m,l)\in{\widetilde{M}}_{\Lambda}. This is equivalent to log⁡|χ−m​(p)|+log⁡|ϖ|−l≥0\log|\chi^{-m}(p)|+\log|\varpi|^{-l}\geq 0 for all (m,l)∈M~Λ(m,l)\in{\widetilde{M}}_{\Lambda}. In turn, this is equivalent to |χm​(p)​ϖl|≤1|\chi^{m}(p)\varpi^{l}|\leq 1, for all (m,l)∈M~Λ(m,l)\in{\widetilde{M}}_{\Lambda}. Hence, val⁡(p)∈Λ{\operatorname{val}}(p)\in\Lambda if and only if |a⁡(p)|≤1|a(p)|\leq 1 for all a∈K∘​[𝒳Λ]a\in K^{\circ}[{\mathcal{X}}_{\Lambda}], which is exactly the condition red⁡(p)∈𝒳Λ{\operatorname{red}}(p)\in{\mathcal{X}}_{\Lambda} (see (2.12)). ∎

Corollary 5.40.

With the same hypothesis as Lemma 5.39, red⁡(p)∈O⁡(Λ){\operatorname{red}}(p)\in O(\Lambda) if and only if val⁡(p)∈ri⁡(Λ){\operatorname{val}}(p)\in\operatorname{ri}(\Lambda).

Proof.

This follows from Lemma 5.39 and the fact that the special fibre is

𝒳Λ,o=∐Λ′​ face of ​ΛO⁡(Λ′),{\mathcal{X}}_{\Lambda,o}=\coprod_{\Lambda^{\prime}\text{ face of }\Lambda}O(\Lambda^{\prime}),

and ri(Λ)=Λ∖⋃Λ′ proper face of ΛΛ′\operatorname{ri}(\Lambda)=\Lambda\setminus\bigcup_{\Lambda^{\prime}\text{ proper face of }\Lambda}\Lambda^{\prime}. ∎

Let Ψ\Psi be a virtual support function on Σ\Sigma, and (L,s)(L,s) the corresponding toric line bundle and section. Let Π\Pi be a complete SCR polyhedral complex in NℝN_{\mathbb{R}} such that rec⁡(Π)=Σ\operatorname{rec}(\Pi)=\Sigma and let ψ\psi be a rational piecewise affine function on Π\Pi with rec⁡(ψ)=Ψ\operatorname{rec}(\psi)=\Psi. Let e>0e>0 be an integer such that e​ψe\psi is an H-lattice function. By Theorem 4.81, the pair (Π,e​ψ)(\Pi,e\psi) determines a toric model (𝒳Π,ℒe​ψ,e)({\mathcal{X}}_{\Pi},{\mathcal{L}}_{e\psi},e) of (XΣ,L)(X_{\Sigma},L). We will write ℒ=ℒe​ψ{\mathcal{L}}={\mathcal{L}}_{e\psi}. Definition 2.17 gives us an algebraic metric ∥⋅∥ℒ\|\cdot\|_{{\mathcal{L}}} on LanL^{{\text{\rm an}}}. In its turn, the metric ∥⋅∥ℒ\|\cdot\|_{{\mathcal{L}}} defines a function ψ∥⋅∥ℒ\psi_{\|\cdot\|_{{\mathcal{L}}}}. The following proposition closes the circle.

Proposition 5.41.

The equality ψ∥⋅∥ℒ=ψ\psi_{\|\cdot\|_{{\mathcal{L}}}}=\psi holds. Hence ψ−Ψ\psi-\Psi extends to a continuous function on NΣN_{\Sigma} and the metric ∥⋅∥ψ\|\cdot\|_{\psi} associated to ψ\psi by Proposition 5.16 agrees with ∥⋅∥ℒ\|\cdot\|_{{\mathcal{L}}}.

Proof.

The tensor product s⊗es^{\otimes e} defines a rational section of ℒ{\mathcal{L}}. Let Λ∈Π\Lambda\in\Pi and choose mΛ∈Mm_{\Lambda}\in M, lΛ∈ℤl_{\Lambda}\in\mathbb{Z} such that e​ψ|Λ=mΛ+lΛ|Λe\psi|_{\Lambda}=m_{\Lambda}+l_{\Lambda}|_{\Lambda}. Let u∈Λu\in\Lambda and p∈XΣanp\in X^{{\text{\rm an}}}_{\Sigma} with u=val⁡(p)u={\operatorname{val}}(p). Then red⁡(p)∈𝒳Λ{\operatorname{red}}(p)\in{\mathcal{X}}_{\Lambda}. But in 𝒳Λ{\mathcal{X}}_{\Lambda} the section χmΛ​ϖlΛ​s⊗e\chi^{m_{\Lambda}}\varpi^{l_{\Lambda}}s^{\otimes e} is regular and non-vanishing. Therefore, by Definition 2.17,

‖χmΛ​(p)​ϖlΛ​s⊗e​(p)‖ℒ=1.\|\chi^{m_{\Lambda}}(p)\varpi^{l_{\Lambda}}s^{\otimes e}(p)\|_{{\mathcal{L}}}=1.

Thus

ψ∥⋅∥ℒ(u)\displaystyle\psi_{\|\cdot\|_{{\mathcal{L}}}}(u) =1λK​log⁡(‖s⁡(p)‖ℒ)\displaystyle=\frac{1}{\lambda_{K}}\log(\|s(p)\|_{{\mathcal{L}}})
=1e​λK​log⁡(|χ−mΛ​(p)​ϖ−lΛ|)\displaystyle=\frac{1}{e\lambda_{K}}\log(|\chi^{-m_{\Lambda}}(p)\varpi^{-l_{\Lambda}}|)
=1e​(⟨mΛ,u⟩+lΛ)\displaystyle=\frac{1}{e}(\langle m_{\Lambda},u\rangle+l_{\Lambda})
=ψ⁡(u).\displaystyle=\psi(u).

Therefore ψ\psi agrees with the function associated to the metric ∥⋅∥ℒ\|\cdot\|_{{\mathcal{L}}}. Hence ψ−Ψ\psi-\Psi extends to a continuous function on NΣN_{\Sigma} and the metric ∥⋅∥ψ\|\cdot\|_{\psi} agrees with ∥⋅∥ℒ\|\cdot\|_{{\mathcal{L}}}. ∎

Example 5.42.

In the non-Archimedean case, the canonical metric of Proposition-Definition 5.20 is the toric algebraic metric induced by the canonical model of Definition 4.76.

Proposition 5.41 imposes a necessary condition for a rational piecewise affine function to determine a model of (XΣ,LΨ)(X_{\Sigma},L_{\Psi}).

Corollary 5.43.

Let Ψ\Psi be a virtual support function on Σ\Sigma and let ψ\psi be a rational piecewise affine function on NℝN_{\mathbb{R}}, with rec⁡(ψ)=Ψ\operatorname{rec}(\psi)=\Psi, such that there exists a complete SCR polyhedral complex Π\Pi with rec⁡(Π)=Σ\operatorname{rec}(\Pi)=\Sigma and ψ\psi piecewise affine on Π\Pi. Then ψ−Ψ\psi-\Psi can be extended to a continuous function on NΣN_{\Sigma}.

Proof.

If there exists such a SCR polyhedral complex Π\Pi, then Π\Pi and ψ\psi determine a model of 𝒪⁡(DΨ)\mathcal{O}(D_{\Psi}) and hence a toric algebraic metric ∥⋅∥\|\cdot\|. By Proposition 5.41, ψ=ψ∥⋅∥\psi=\psi_{\|\cdot\|} and, by the classification of toric metrics in Proposition 5.16, the function ψ∥⋅∥−Ψ\psi_{\|\cdot\|}-\Psi extends to a continuous function on NΣN_{\Sigma}. ∎

Example 5.44.

Let N=ℤ2N=\mathbb{Z}^{2} and consider the fan Σ\Sigma generated by e0=(−1,−1)e_{0}=(-1,-1), e1=(1,0)e_{1}=(1,0) and e2=(0,1)e_{2}=(0,1). Then XΣ=ℙ2X_{\Sigma}=\mathbb{P}^{2}. The virtual support function Ψ=0\Psi=0 corresponds to the trivial line bundle 𝒪ℙ2\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^{2}}. Consider the function

ψ⁡(x,y)={0, if ​x≤0,x, if ​0≤x≤1,1, if ​1≤x.\psi(x,y)=\begin{cases}0,&\text{ if }x\leq 0,\\ x,&\text{ if }0\leq x\leq 1,\\ 1,&\text{ if }1\leq x.\\ \end{cases}

Then rec⁡(ψ)=Ψ\operatorname{rec}(\psi)=\Psi, but ψ\psi does not extend to a continuous function on NΣN_{\Sigma} and therefore it does not determine a model of (XΣ,𝒪)(X_{\Sigma},\mathcal{O}). By contrast, let Σ′\Sigma^{\prime} be the fan obtained subdividing Σ\Sigma by adding the edge corresponding to e′=(0,−1)e^{\prime}=(0,-1). Then XΣ′X_{\Sigma^{\prime}} is isomorphic to a blow-up of ℙ2\mathbb{P}^{2} at one point. The function ψ\psi extends to a continuous function on NΣ′N_{\Sigma^{\prime}} and it corresponds to a toric model of (XΣ′,𝒪)(X_{\Sigma^{\prime}},\mathcal{O}).

Question 5.45.

Is the condition in Corollary 5.43 also sufficient? In other words, let NN, Σ\Sigma and Ψ\Psi be as before and let ψ\psi be a rational piecewise affine function on NℝN_{\mathbb{R}} such that ψ−Ψ\psi-\Psi can be extended to a continuous function on NΣN_{\Sigma}. Does it exists a complete SCR polyhedral complex Π\Pi with rec⁡(Π)=Σ\operatorname{rec}(\Pi)=\Sigma and ψ\psi is piecewise affine on Π\Pi?

Remark 5.46.

By the proof of Theorem 4.97 and Corollary 5.43, when ψ\psi is concave, the conditions

  1. (1)

    |ψ−Ψ||\psi-\Psi| is bounded;

  2. (2)

    ψ−Ψ\psi-\Psi can be extended to a continuous function on NΣN_{\Sigma};

  3. (3)

    there exist a complete SCR polyhedral complex Π\Pi with rec⁡(Π)=Σ\operatorname{rec}(\Pi)=\Sigma and ψ\psi piecewise affine on Π\Pi;

are equivalent. In particular, the answer to the above question is positive when ψ\psi is concave.

By Theorem 4.97, a rational piecewise affine concave function ψ\psi with rec⁡(ψ)=Ψ\operatorname{rec}(\psi)=\Psi determines an equivalence class of semipositive toric models of (XΣ,K,LΨ)(X_{\Sigma,K},L_{\Psi}). As before, every toric model in this class defines an algebraic metric on LΨanL_{\Psi}^{{\text{\rm an}}}. Since, by Proposition 2.18, equivalent models give rise to the same metric, this metric only depends on ψ\psi. Then Proposition 5.41 has the following direct consequence.

Corollary 5.47.

Let Σ\Sigma be a complete fan and let Ψ\Psi be a support function on Σ\Sigma. Let ψ\psi be a rational piecewise affine concave function on NℝN_{\mathbb{R}} with rec⁡(ψ)=Ψ\operatorname{rec}(\psi)=\Psi and let ∥⋅∥\|\cdot\| be the metric defined by any model of (XΣ,LΨ)(X_{\Sigma},L_{\Psi}) in the equivalence class determined by ψ\psi. Then the equality ψ∥⋅∥=ψ\psi_{\|\cdot\|}=\psi holds. So the metric ∥⋅∥\|\cdot\| agrees with the metric ∥⋅∥ψ\|\cdot\|_{\psi} of Proposition 5.16. Moreover, the algebraic metric ∥⋅∥\|\cdot\| is semipositive.

Proof.

The equation ψ∥⋅∥=ψ\psi_{\|\cdot\|}=\psi is just Proposition 5.41 in the concave case. By the definition of semipositive algebraic metrics and Theorem 4.95 we obtain that ψ\psi concave implies ∥⋅∥\|\cdot\| semipositive. ∎

We have seen that rational piecewise affine functions give rise to toric algebraic metrics. We now study the converse. Let gg be a rational function on XΣX_{\Sigma}. Then we denote by ψg:Nℝ→ℝ\psi_{g}\colon N_{\mathbb{R}}\to\mathbb{R} the function ψg​(u)=1λK​log⁡|g⁡(θ0​(𝐞λK⁡(u)))|\psi_{g}(u)=\frac{1}{\lambda_{K}}\log|g(\theta_{0}({\operatorname{\mathbf{e}}}_{\lambda_{K}}(u)))|.

Lemma 5.48.

Let gg be a rational function on XΣX_{\Sigma}. Then the function ψg\psi_{g} is an H-lattice function (Definition 3.88). In particular it is a piecewise affine function.

Proof.

The function gg can be written as g=∑m∈Mαm​χm∑m∈Mβm​χmg=\frac{\sum_{m\in M}\alpha_{m}\chi^{m}}{\sum_{m\in M}\beta_{m}\chi^{m}}. Then

ψg​(u)\displaystyle\psi_{g}(u) =1λK​log⁡|g⁡(θ0​(𝐞λK⁡(u)))|\displaystyle=\frac{1}{\lambda_{K}}\log|g(\theta_{0}({\operatorname{\mathbf{e}}}_{\lambda_{K}}(u)))|
=1λK​log⁡|∑m∈Mαm​χm​(θ0​(𝐞λK⁡(u)))​|−1λK​log|​∑m∈Mβm​χm​(θ0​(𝐞λK⁡(u)))|\displaystyle=\frac{1}{\lambda_{K}}\log\Bigl|\sum_{m\in M}\alpha_{m}\chi^{m}(\theta_{0}({\operatorname{\mathbf{e}}}_{\lambda_{K}}(u)))\Bigr|-\frac{1}{\lambda_{K}}\log\Bigl|\sum_{m\in M}\beta_{m}\chi^{m}(\theta_{0}({\operatorname{\mathbf{e}}}_{\lambda_{K}}(u)))\Bigr|
=maxm∈M⁡(log⁡|αm|λK−⟨m,u⟩)−maxm∈M⁡(log⁡|βm|λK−⟨m,u⟩)\displaystyle=\max_{m\in M}\Bigl(\frac{\log|\alpha_{m}|}{\lambda_{K}}-\left<m,u\right>\Bigr)-\max_{m\in M}\Bigl(\frac{\log|\beta_{m}|}{\lambda_{K}}-\left<m,u\right>\Bigr)
=maxm∈M⁡(−ord⁡(αm)−⟨m,u⟩)−maxm∈M⁡(−ord⁡(βm)−⟨m,u⟩)\displaystyle=\max_{m\in M}(-{\operatorname{ord}}(\alpha_{m})-\left<m,u\right>)-\max_{m\in M}(-{\operatorname{ord}}(\beta_{m})-\left<m,u\right>)
=minm∈M⁡(⟨m,u⟩+ord⁡(βm))−minm∈M⁡(⟨m,u⟩+ord⁡(αm)).\displaystyle=\min_{m\in M}(\left<m,u\right>+{\operatorname{ord}}(\beta_{m}))-\min_{m\in M}(\left<m,u\right>+{\operatorname{ord}}(\alpha_{m})).

Thus, it is the difference of two H-lattice concave functions. ∎

Theorem 5.49.

Let Σ\Sigma be a complete fan, Ψ\Psi a virtual support function on Σ\Sigma and (L,s)(L,s) the corresponding toric line bundle and section. Let ∥⋅∥\|\cdot\| be a toric algebraic metric on LanL^{{\text{\rm an}}}. Then the function ψ∥⋅∥\psi_{\|\cdot\|} is rational piecewise affine. If moreover ψ∥⋅∥\psi_{\|\cdot\|} is concave, the toric algebraic metric ∥⋅∥\|\cdot\| is semipositive and it comes from a toric model.

Proof.

Since the metric is algebraic, there exist a proper K∘K^{\circ}- scheme 𝒳\mathcal{X} and a line bundle ℒ\mathcal{L} on 𝒳\mathcal{X} such that the base change of (𝒳,ℒ)(\mathcal{X},\mathcal{L}) to KK is isomorphic to (XΣ,L⊗e)(X_{\Sigma},L^{\otimes e}). Let {𝒰i,si}\{{\mathcal{U}}_{i},s_{i}\} be a trivialization of ℒ\mathcal{L}. Let Ci=red−1⁡(𝒰i∩𝒳o)C_{i}={\operatorname{red}}^{-1}({\mathcal{U}}_{i}\cap\mathcal{X}_{o}). The subsets CiC_{i} form a finite closed cover of XΣanX_{\Sigma}^{{\text{\rm an}}}. On 𝒰i{\mathcal{U}}_{i} we can write sΨ⊗e=gi​sis_{\Psi}^{\otimes e}=g_{i}s_{i} for certain rational function gig_{i}. Therefore, on CiC_{i}, we have log⁡‖sΨ​(p)‖=log⁡|g⁡(p)|e\log\|s_{\Psi}(p)\|=\frac{\log|g(p)|}{e}. By Lemma 5.48, it follows that there is a finite closed cover of NℝN_{\mathbb{R}} and the restriction of ψ∥⋅∥\psi_{\|\cdot\|} to each of these closed subsets is rational piecewise affine. Therefore ψ∥⋅∥\psi_{\|\cdot\|} is rational piecewise affine. The second statement follows from the first and Corollary 5.47. ∎

The next point we study is how to turn a non-toric metric into a toric one. Since the image of θ0\theta_{0} consists of fixed points under the action of 𝕊an\mathbb{S}^{{\text{\rm an}}} (see Proposition-Definition 5.2), we may think of it as the analogue, in the non-Archimedean case, of a Haar measure of volume 11 on the compact torus 𝕊an\mathbb{S}^{{\text{\rm an}}}.

Let Ψ\Psi be a virtual support function on Σ\Sigma. Write L=𝒪⁡(DΨ)L=\mathcal{O}(D_{\Psi}) and s=sΨs=s_{\Psi}. Let ∥⋅∥\|\cdot\| be a metric on LanL^{{\text{\rm an}}}, non-necessarily toric. Then we define ψ∥⋅∥:Nℝ→ℝ\psi_{\|\cdot\|}\colon N_{\mathbb{R}}\to\mathbb{R} by

(5.50) ψ∥⋅∥(u)=1λKlog∥s(θ0(𝐞K(u)))∥.\psi_{\|\cdot\|}(u)=\frac{1}{\lambda_{K}}\log\|s(\theta_{0}({\operatorname{\mathbf{e}}}_{K}(u)))\|.

Note that, if ∥⋅∥\|\cdot\| is a toric metric, the definition of ψ∥⋅∥\psi_{\|\cdot\|} we have just given agrees with the one given in §5.2. This is clear because, if the metric is toric, then ‖s⁡(p)‖=‖s⁡(θ0​ρ0​(p))‖\|s(p)\|=\|s(\theta_{0}\rho_{0}(p))\|.

Proposition 5.51.

The assignment that, to a local section ss of LL gives the function defined as ∥s(θ0ρ0(p)∥\|s(\theta_{0}\rho_{0}(p)\| for p∈XΣanp\in X^{{\text{\rm an}}}_{\Sigma}, is a toric metric on LanL^{{\text{\rm an}}}, that we denote ∥⋅∥𝕊\|\cdot\|_{\mathbb{S}}. Moreover, ψ∥⋅∥=ψ∥⋅∥𝕊\psi_{\|\cdot\|}=\psi_{\|\cdot\|_{\mathbb{S}}}.

Proof.

As in the proof of Proposition 5.16, we can verify that the function ψ∥⋅∥−Ψ\psi_{\|\cdot\|}-\Psi can be extended to a continuous function on NΣN_{\Sigma}. Using that θ0\theta_{0} is a section of ρ0\rho_{0} and the image of θ0\theta_{0} consists of points which are fixed under the action of 𝕊an\mathbb{S}^{{\text{\rm an}}}, we also verify that ∥⋅∥𝕊\|\cdot\|_{\mathbb{S}} is the toric metric associated to ψ∥⋅∥\psi_{\|\cdot\|} by the same proposition. ∎

The relationship between toric algebraic metrics and rational piecewise functions of Theorem 5.49 can be extended to the case when the metric is non-toric.

Proposition 5.52.

Let ∥⋅∥\|\cdot\| be an algebraic metric. Then the function ψ∥⋅∥\psi_{\|\cdot\|} is rational piecewise affine.

Proof.

Just observe that in the proof of Theorem 5.49 one does not use the fact that the metric is toric. ∎

We now study the effect of taking a field extension. Let K⊂HK\subset H be a finite extension of fields that are complete with respect to an absolute value associated to a nontrivial discrete valuation. We assume that the absolute value of HH is an extension of the absolute value of KK. Let H∘{H}^{\circ} be the valuation ring of HH, H∘⁣∘{H}^{\circ\circ} the maximal ideal, ϖ′\varpi^{\prime} a generator of the maximal ideal, λH=log⁡(|ϖ′|−1)\lambda_{H}=\log(|\varpi^{\prime}|^{-1}). Let eH/Ke_{H/K} be the ramification degree of the extension. Hence λK=eH/K​λH\lambda_{K}=e_{H/K}\lambda_{H}.

Proposition 5.53.

Let Σ\Sigma be a complete fan in NℝN_{\mathbb{R}} and let Π\Pi be a complete SCR polyhedral complex in NℝN_{\mathbb{R}} with Σ=rec⁡(Π)\Sigma=\operatorname{rec}(\Pi).

  1. (1)

    Let XΣ,KX_{\Sigma,K} and XΣ,HX_{\Sigma,H} denote the toric varieties defined by Σ\Sigma over KK and HH respectively. Then

    XΣ,H=Spec⁡(H)×XΣ,K.X_{\Sigma,H}=\operatorname{Spec}(H)\times X_{\Sigma,K}.

    Moreover there is a commutative diagram

    XΣ,Han\textstyle{X_{\Sigma,H}^{{\text{\rm an}}}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}ρΣ,H\scriptstyle{\rho_{\Sigma,H}}XΣ,Kan\textstyle{X^{{\text{\rm an}}}_{\Sigma,K}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}ρΣ,K\scriptstyle{\rho_{\Sigma,K}}XΣ​(ℝ≥0),\textstyle{X_{\Sigma}(\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}),}

    where the horizontal map is induced by the restriction of seminorms.

  2. (2)

    Let Π′\Pi^{\prime} be the polyhedral complex in NℝN_{\mathbb{R}} obtained from Π\Pi by applying a homothety of ratio eH/Ke_{H/K}. Then

    𝒳Π′,H∘=Nor⁡(Spec⁡(H∘)×𝒳Π,K∘),{\mathcal{X}}_{\Pi^{\prime},{H}^{\circ}}=\operatorname{Nor}(\operatorname{Spec}(H^{\circ})\times{\mathcal{X}}_{\Pi,K^{\circ}}),

    where Nor\operatorname{Nor} denotes the normalization of a scheme.

  3. (3)

    Let ψ\psi be a rational piecewise linear function on Π\Pi and denote Ψ=rec⁡(ψ)\Psi=\operatorname{rec}(\psi). Let L=𝒪⁡(DΨ)L=\mathcal{O}(D_{\Psi}) be the line bundle on XΣ,KX_{\Sigma,K} determined by Ψ\Psi and let ∥⋅∥\|\cdot\| be the metric on LanL^{{\text{\rm an}}} determined by ψ\psi. Let L′L^{\prime} be the line bundle obtained by base change and ∥⋅∥′\|\cdot\|^{\prime} the metric obtained by inverse image. Then

    ψ∥⋅∥′(u)=(ψeH/K)(u)=eH/Kψ(eH/K−1u).\psi_{\|\cdot\|^{\prime}}(u)=(\psi e_{H/K})(u)=e_{H/K}\psi(e_{H/K}^{-1}u).
  4. (4)

    There is a commutative diagram

    XΣ,Han\textstyle{X_{\Sigma,H}^{{\text{\rm an}}}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}XΣ,Kan\textstyle{X^{{\text{\rm an}}}_{\Sigma,K}}XΣ​(ℝ≥0).\textstyle{X_{\Sigma}(\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0})\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces.}θΣ,H\scriptstyle{\theta_{\Sigma,H}}θΣ,K\scriptstyle{\theta_{\Sigma,K}}
Proof.

The statement (1) can be checked locally. Let σ\sigma be a cone of Σ\Sigma. Then

Xσ,H=Spec⁡(H⁡[Mσ])=Spec⁡(K⁡[Mσ]​⊗𝐾​H)=Spec⁡(H)​×𝐾​Xσ,K.X_{\sigma,H}=\operatorname{Spec}(H[M_{\sigma}])=\operatorname{Spec}(K[M_{\sigma}]\underset{K}{\otimes}H)=\operatorname{Spec}(H)\underset{K}{\times}X_{\sigma,K}.

This proves the first assertion. The commutativity of the diagram follows from the fact that the map XΣ,Han→XΣ,KanX_{\Sigma,H}^{{\text{\rm an}}}\to X^{{\text{\rm an}}}_{\Sigma,K} is given by the restriction of seminorms.

The statement (2) can also be checked locally. Let Λ\Lambda be a polyhedron of Π\Pi. Let Λ′=eK′/K​Λ\Lambda^{\prime}=e_{K^{\prime}/K}\Lambda. Then it is clear that

K∘​[𝒳Λ]​⊗K∘​H∘⊂H∘​[𝒳Λ′].K^{\circ}[{\mathcal{X}}_{\Lambda}]\underset{K^{\circ}}{\otimes}H^{\circ}\subset H^{\circ}[{\mathcal{X}}_{\Lambda^{\prime}}].

Since the right-hand side ring is integrally closed, the integral closure of the left side ring is contained in the right side ring. Therefore we need to prove that H⁡[M~Λ′]H[{\widetilde{M}}_{\Lambda^{\prime}}] is integral over the left side ring. Let (a,l)∈M~Λ′(a,l)\in{\widetilde{M}}_{\Lambda^{\prime}}. Thus (eH/K​a,l)∈M~Λ(e_{H/K}a,l)\in{\widetilde{M}}_{\Lambda}. Then the monomial χaϖ′∈lH∘[𝒳Λ′]\chi^{a}\varpi^{\prime}{}^{l}\in H^{\circ}[{\mathcal{X}}_{\Lambda^{\prime}}] satisfies

(χaϖ′)leH/K=(χeH/K​aϖl)∈K∘[𝒳Λ]⊗K∘H∘.(\chi^{a}\varpi^{\prime}{}^{l})^{e_{H/K}}=(\chi^{e_{H/K}a}\varpi^{l})\in K^{\circ}[{\mathcal{X}}_{\Lambda}]\underset{K^{\circ}}{\otimes}H^{\circ}.

Hence χaϖ′l\chi^{a}\varpi^{\prime}{}^{l} is integral over K∘​[𝒳Λ]​⊗K∘​H∘.K^{\circ}[{\mathcal{X}}_{\Lambda}]\underset{K^{\circ}}{\otimes}H^{\circ}. Since these monomials generate H∘​[𝒳Λ′]H^{\circ}[{\mathcal{X}}_{\Lambda^{\prime}}], we obtain the result.

To prove (3), let p′∈X0,Hanp^{\prime}\in X^{{\text{\rm an}}}_{0,H} and let p∈X0,Kanp\in X^{{\text{\rm an}}}_{0,K} be the corresponding point. Then valK⁡(p)=valH⁡(p′)eH/K{\operatorname{val}}_{K}(p)=\frac{{\operatorname{val}}_{H}(p^{\prime})}{e_{H/K}}. Therefore, if we write u=valK⁡(p)u={\operatorname{val}}_{K}(p) and u′=valH⁡(p′)eH/Ku^{\prime}=\frac{{\operatorname{val}}_{H}(p^{\prime})}{e_{H/K}}, we have

ψ∥⋅∥′(u′)=1λHlog∥s(p′)∥′=eH/KλKlog∥s(p)∥=eH/Kψ(u)=eH/Kψ(u′/eH/K).\psi_{\|\cdot\|^{\prime}}(u^{\prime})=\frac{1}{\lambda_{H}}\log\|s(p^{\prime})\|^{\prime}=\frac{e_{H/K}}{\lambda_{K}}\log\|s(p)\|=e_{H/K}\psi(u)=e_{H/K}\psi(u^{\prime}/e_{H/K}).

Finally, statement (4) follows directly from the definition of θΣ\theta_{\Sigma} because the horizontal arrow is given by the restriction of seminorms. ∎
