To the geometry of spaces of plurisubharmonic functions on a K\"ahler manifold

TL;DR

This paper introduces a new distance function between plurisubharmonic functions on a Kähler manifold, exploring its properties and implications for energy spaces, generalizing previous metrics by Darvas.

Contribution

It defines a novel distance measure $ ho[u,v]$ for $ ext{PSH}$ functions on Kähler manifolds and studies its properties and applications to energy spaces, extending Darvas's metrics.

Findings

$ ho[u,v]$ is a decreasing function on a specific interval

Properties of $ ho[u,v]$ are established and analyzed

Results generalize Darvas's metrics $d_ ext{chi}$

Abstract

Consider a compact K\"ahler manifold $(X,\omega)$ and the space $\cal E(X,\omega)=\cal E$ of $\omega$--plurisubharmonic functions of full Monge--Amp\`ere mass on it. We introduce a quantity $\rho[u,v]$ to measure the distance between $u, v\in\cal E$; $\rho[u,v]$ is not a number but rather a decreasing function on a certain interval $(0,V)\subset\mathbb R$. We explore properties of $\rho[u,v]$, and using them we study Lagrangians and associated energy spaces of $\omega$--plurisubharmonic functions. Many results here generalize Darvas's findings about his metrics $d_\chi$.
