4.3. Asymptotic for the first order ansatz II
This Section proves exponential decay estimate for higher Fourier modes in the region bounded away from . 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.
Proof.
Consider 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 and nearby sources .
For far away sources, we use Lemma 4.1 to write the integrand as a dominant term plus a remainder term estimated by . The dominant term does not contribute to because it is constant in the direction. The remainder term contribution to is bounded by
The contribution from nearby sources only arises if our given point of interest is too close to along one of , or directions; we focus on . Lemma 4.2 allows us to write as plus a well controlled remainder term. By the exponential decay property of the measure ,
Combining the above shows .
All these arguments carry through to except the exponential decay of the measure. This is compensated by staying sufficiently far from . ∎
Proposition 4.13.
(Exponential decay for higher Fourier modes in the first order ansatz) In the region where ,
| (4.18) |
where is the minimum of for all .
Proof.
This proof is parallel to Proposition 3.5, so will be sketchy. We focus on as the same arguments work for .
We perform Fourier decomposition in the periodic variables ,
The zeroth Fourier mode vanishes by construction. Parseval identity combined with Lemma 4.12 shows
Over the region (4.14), according to Proposition 4.4 and (4.16)
which translates into the Helmholtz type equations
After the variable substitution
these equations become the Helmholtz equations on ,
where we denote .
The rest of the argument is substantially similar to Proposition 3.5. Observe that . An upper barrier supersolution to the Helmholtz equation is directly constructed as
where on respectively. Comparing the real and imaginary parts of with yields the result. ∎
By the topological description (cf. Section 1.1.4 and 1.1.5), we can lift the to a -cycle on the total space of the singular -bundle, namely the monodromy invariant -cycle for the topological -fibration. As an application of the asymptotes above, we shall evaluate (up to sign) the integral of the closed 2-form on this -cycle.
Lemma 4.14.
The integral .
Proof.
As a preliminary remark, although is a Kähler form only in a bounded region, it makes sense as a closed 2-form over the entire . The integral is a cohomological invariant, which can be evaluated asymptotically on a -cycle as stay bounded and . By choosing the -cycle on which are constants,
But by Lemma 4.10 and Proposition 4.13, the quantity as , so the only contribution is ∎
