Uniqueness of bounded potentials in the nonclosed Hermitian setting

Establish uniqueness of the bounded normalized potential solving the nonclosed non-pluripolar Monge–Ampère equation \(\langle(\theta+\sqrt{-1}\partial\bar\partial\varphi)^n\rangle=c_0\Omega\) on a compact Fujiki-class \(\mathcal C\) manifold when \(\theta\) is smooth, semipositive, and generally nonclosed.

Background

The paper studies degenerations of Chern-Ricci-flat Hermitian metrics on a smooth small crepant resolution π:X→Y\pi:X\to Y, where XX belongs to Fujiki class C\mathcal C. The degenerating metrics converge, after subsequence extraction, to a bounded θ\theta-plurisubharmonic potential φ0\varphi_0 solving a nonclosed non-pluripolar Monge–Ampère equation.

In the Kähler case, the limiting equation descends to the singular projective variety YY, where established pluripotential theory gives uniqueness and therefore convergence of the full family. For a nonclosed background form θ\theta, the paper proves only subsequential convergence because uniqueness of the bounded solution is not established.

References

We stress that in the nonclosed setting, the uniqueness of the bounded potential is not known at this moment to the authors. We only claim the full-family convergence for the Kähler case.
