Abstract

With a view to proving the conjecture of “dlt extension” related to the abundance conjecture, a sequence of potential candidates for replacing the Ohsawa measure in the Ohsawa–Takegoshi \(L^2\) extension theorem, called the “lc-measures”, which hopefully could provide the \(L^2\) estimate of a holomorphic extension of any suitable holomorphic section on a subvariety with singular locus, are introduced in the first half of the paper. Based on the version of \(L^2\) extension theorem proved by Demailly, a proof is provided to show that the lc-measure can replace the Ohsawa measure in the case where the classical Ohsawa–Takegoshi \(L^2\) extension works, with some improvements on the assumptions on the metrics involved. The second half of the paper provides a simplified proof of the result of Demailly–Hacon–Păun on the “plt extension” with the superfluous assumption “\({{\,\mathrm{supp}\,}}D \subset {{\,\mathrm{supp}\,}}\left( S+B\right) \)” in their result removed. Most arguments in the proof are readily adopted to the “dlt extension” once the \(L^2\) estimates with respect to the lc-measures of holomorphic extensions of sections on subvarieties with singular locus are ready.

Notes

  1. The notation is chosen by mimicking the reduced Planck constant \(\hbar = \frac{h}{2\pi }\).

  2.  “\({\text {lcv}}\)” is used in the lc-measure to suggest “lc-centre-volume”. It also looks like the mirror image of “\({\text {vol}}\)”.

  3. This is usually named as the “Riemann extension theorem”. The current naming “Riemann continuation theorem” is used just to distinguish this theorem from the Ohsawa–Takegoshi-type extension theorem which is studied in this paper. The use of “continuation” is found in Grauert–Remmert’s book [20, Section A.3.8] (English translation by Huckleberry), but “extension” is used in [19, Section 7.1], a later publication of the same authors.

  4. Thanks to Chen-Yu Chi for pointing out to the authors that the converse is not true. An example is provided by taking \(\psi = \log \left( \left|x^3\right|^2 +\left|y^2\right|^2\right) -1\) and \(\varphi _L=0\) on \(X = \Delta ^2 \subset \mathbb {C}^2_{(x,y)}\), the unit 2-disc centred at the origin, and considering the standard principalisation of the ideal \((x^3,y^2)\) given by blowing-up 3 times. In this case, \(\frac{5}{6}\) and \(\frac{7}{6}\) are consecutive jumping numbers of \(\left\{ \mathscr {I}_{X}\left( m\psi \right) \right\} _{m\in \mathbb {R}_{\ge 0}}\), but \(\left\{ \mathscr {I}_{\widetilde{X}}\left( m\pi ^*\psi -\phi _R\right) \right\} _{m\in \mathbb {R}_{\ge 0}}\) also has 1 as a jumping number.

  5. See footnote 3.

  6. Note that \(\varphi _L+\psi \) is, being psh by Remark 3.3.2, locally bounded from above, so the weight in the norm \(\left\Vert \cdot \right\Vert _{X^\circ ,\omega ,\varphi }\) is everywhere positive on \(X^\circ \) even though \(\varphi _L\) itself may go to \(+\infty \).

  7. Here f is abused to mean its image under the map .

  8. This is precisely the place where \(\delta > 0\) is needed, and thus the use of [15, Lemma 5.5] cannot be avoided.

Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations.

Most part of this project was done when the first author was under the support of the National Center for Theoretical Sciences (NCTS) in Taiwan and while the second author had a short term visit there. The first author is thankful for the trust from Director Jungkai Chen of the NCTS and the second author would like to thank Director Chen for his hospitality. Both authors are in debt to Jean-Pierre Demailly who shared his ideas around the subject of extension and a lot more unreservedly with the authors, especially during their stay at the Institut Fourier which was supported by the ERC grant ALKAGE (No. 670846). The authors are grateful to Bo Berndtsson and Mihai Păun for their comments on the lc-measures and the potential extension theorem in the higher codimensional cases. Many thanks also to Chen-Yu Chi for drawing the first author’s attention to the study of analytic adjoint ideal sheaves as well as pointing out several mistakes in the first draft of this paper, and to Dano Kim for the advice on the development of \(L^2\) extension theorems. This work was supported by the National Research Foundation (NRF) of Korea grant funded by the Korea government (No. 2018R1C1B3005963).
