Robustness of potential clustering
We revisit the potential clustering property (cf. section 3.8.3) from the geometric measure theory perspective. Assume as always that the Lagrangian integral current is quantitatively almost calibrated, homologous to , and equipped with Lagrangian potential . Given constants , we say satisfies -potential clustering, if
for quantitatively almost calibrated, closed Lagrangian integral currents with potential , contained inside the support of , such that the oscillation of the Lagrangian potentials have uniform bounds
while for any ,
Without loss of generality, we assume for the fixed Lagrangian .
Remark 5.8.
Here we allow to have overlapping supports. For instance, it is possible for as currents, but and differ by a constant.
We will later be interested in uniform upper bounds on . For now, we observe the robustness under limits:
Corollary 5.9.
Fix the choice of . Suppose we are given a sequence of Lagrangians with potential satisfying -potential clustering, and assume as currents for , all have uniform bounds, and as currents. Then the limit with its potential also satisfies -potential clustering.
Proof.
Notice a potential bound such as can be characterized by the positivity of the measure . This characterization is robust under current convergence, so
hence the potential clustering bounds pass to the limit. ∎
