Abstract.

We study the Bergman embeddings of degenerating families of Kähler-Einsten manifolds of negative curvature. In one special case, we show that we can construct orthonormal bases so that the induced Bergman embeddings converge to the Bergman embedding of the limit space together with bubbles.

1. Introduction

Let (X,ω)(X,\omega) be a Kähler manifold and let LXL\to X be a positive line bundle endowed with a Hermitian metric hh. The space k\mathcal{H}_{k} of L2L_{2}-integrable holomorphic sections of kLkL is then a Hilbert space with the inner product defined by

Xs1,s2hωn.\int_{X}\langle s_{1},s_{2}\rangle_{h}\omega^{n}.

k\mathcal{H}_{k} is called the Bergman space of kLkL. And when kk is large enough, an orthonormal basis {si}i=1N\{s_{i}\}_{i=1}^{N}, N{}N\in\mathbb{N}\cup\{\infty\}, of k\mathcal{H}_{k} induces a Kodaira embedding Φk:XN1\Phi_{k}:X\to\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{N-1}, called a Bergman embedding. The Bergman embeddings have been playing a critical role as a bridge connecting Kähler geometry to algebraic geometry. For instance, using this bridge, Donaldson in [4] proved that, in the compact case, existence of a constant scalar curvature Kähler (CSCK) metric implies asymptotic Chow-stability. The Bergman kernel function, also called the density of states function, is defined as

ρk(x)=i=1Nsi(x)h2,xX.\rho_{k}(x)=\sum_{i=1}^{N}\parallel s_{i}(x)\parallel_{h}^{2},\quad x\in X.

We will refer to ρk\rho_{k} as Bergman kernel for short. In the compact case ρk\rho_{k} is very handy in the task of understanding the Bergman embeddings, largely because of the asymptotic formula as kk\to\infty proved by Tian [14], Zelditch [17], Catlin [2], Lu [8], etc..

Another example of the applications of Bergman embeddings and Bergman kernels is the important work of Donaldson-Sun in [5], in which the existence of uniform lower bounds for the Bergman kernels of families of polarized projective manifolds was shown. That was then used to prove that the Gromov-Hausdorff limits are normal algebraic varieties. One condition in [5] is the ”non-collapsing” condition, which requires that local volumes should be comparable to that of the Euclidean case. The situations that do not satisfy this condition are the ”collapsing” cases. Very rare is known for the convergence of the Bergman embeddings in the collapsing case.

In [13], the author studied the case of stably degenerating sequences of hyperbolic Riemann surfaces, which is a special collapsing case. It was proven that on each element of the sequence, we can find suitble orthonormal bases of the Bergman spaces defined by the hyperbolic metric so that the induced sequence of Bergman embeddings basically converges to the Bergman embedding of the limit singular space with comlete hyperbolic metric on the regular part. During the convergence process, pairs of bubbles emerge and become pairs of linear 1\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{1}’s attached to the limit variety, which is the reason for using the term ’basically’.

In this article, we explore the high dimensional case. To set the stage, we first recall the definition of the Cheng-Yau metric. Let XX be a smooth projective manifold of dimension nn. Given a simple normal crossing divisor DXD\subset X such that KX+[D]K_{X}+[D] is ample, then it has been shown by Cheng-Yau, Kobayashi, Tian-Yau and Bando([3, 7, 16, 1]) that the quasi-projective manifold X\DX\backslash D admits a unique complete Kähler-Einstein metric ωKE\omega_{\text{KE}}, known as the Cheng-Yau metric, with finite volume and Ric(ωKE)=ωKE\text{Ric}(\omega_{\text{KE}})=-\omega_{\text{KE}}. Thus ωKE\omega_{\text{KE}} defines a Hermitian metric on KXK_{X} restricted to X\DX\backslash D.

We consider the question: If we have a sequence of compact Kähler-Einstein manifolds that converges to some variety with Cheng-Yau metric on the regular part. Can we also construct Bergman embeddings that converges to the Bergman embedding of the limit variety? Our current exploration in this direction is in the following context. Recall that a degeneration of Kähler-Einstein manifolds is a holomorphic familty π:𝒳B\pi:\mathcal{X}\to B, where BB is the unit disk, with the following property:

  • The fibers Xt=π1(t)X_{t}=\pi^{-1}(t) are smooth except for t=0t=0

  • Each XtX_{t} for t0t\neq 0 admits a Kähler-Einstein metric.

In the case of negative Kähler-Einstein metrics, Tian, in [15], proved the following theorem.

Theorem 1.1 ([15]).

Let π:𝒳B\pi:\mathcal{X}\to B be a degeneration of Kähler-Einstein manifolds {Xt,gE,t}\{X_{t},g_{E,t}\} with Ric(gE,t)=gE,t\text{Ric}(g_{E,t})=-g_{E,t}. Assume that the total space 𝒳\mathcal{X} is smooth and the central fiber X0X_{0} is the union of smooth normal crossing hypersurfaces {X0,i}1im\{X_{0,i}\}_{1\leq i\leq m} in 𝒳\mathcal{X} with ample dualizing line bundle KX0K_{X_{0}}. Assume that no three of the divisors X0,i,1imX_{0,i},1\leq i\leq m have nonempty intersection. Then the Kähler-Einstein metrics gE,tg_{E,t} on XtX_{t} converges to a complete Cheng-Yau Kähler-Einstein metric gE,0g_{E,0} on X0\Sing(X0)X_{0}\backslash\text{Sing}(X_{0}) in the sense of Cheeger-Gromov: there are an exhaustion of compact subsets FβX0\Sing(X0)F_{\beta}\subset\subset X_{0}\backslash\text{Sing}(X_{0}) and diffeomorphisms ϕβ,t\phi_{\beta,t} from FβF_{\beta} into XtX_{t} satifying:

  • (1)

    Xt\β=1ϕβ,t(Fβ)X_{t}\backslash\cup_{\beta=1}^{\infty}\phi_{\beta,t}(F_{\beta}) consists of a finite union of submanifolds of real codimension 1;

  • (2)

    for each fixed β\beta, ϕβ,tgE,t\phi^{*}_{\beta,t}g_{E,t} converge to gE,0g_{E,0} on FβF_{\beta} in C2C^{2}-topology on the space of Riemannian metrics as tt goes to 0.

Ruan generalized Tian’s result in [9] by removing the condition that no three of the divisors X0,i,1imX_{0,i},1\leq i\leq m have nonempty intersection. Later, in [10], Ruan generalized this theorem to the toroidal case, but we will not discuss that here as we will focus on the setting in theorem 1.1.

In the setting of Tian’s theorem, the singularity of the central fiber consists of smooth divisors of the form Di,j=X0,iX0,jD_{i,j}=X_{0,i}\cap X_{0,j}. For simplicity, we will also denote the divisors by DαD_{\alpha}, αΛ\alpha\in\Lambda when it is not necessary to care about ii and jj. Then Sing(X0)=αΛDα\text{Sing}(X_{0})=\cup_{\alpha\in\Lambda}D_{\alpha}. Denote by |Λ||\Lambda| the cardinality of Λ\Lambda. For each ii, we denote by DiD^{i} the union of that DαD_{\alpha}’s that are contained in X0,iX_{0,i}. For simplicity, we also denote by D=Sing(X0)D=\text{Sing}(X_{0}).

The determinant ωtn\omega_{t}^{n} of the Kähler form ωt\omega_{t} corresponding to the Kähler-Einstein metric defines a Hermitian metric hth_{t} on KXtK_{X_{t}}. By abuse of notation, we still use hth_{t} to denote the induced metric on kKXtkK_{X_{t}}. Let t,k\mathcal{H}_{t,k} denote the Bergman space consists of L2L^{2} sections sH0(Xt,kKXt)s\in H^{0}(X_{t},kK_{X_{t}}). Then t,k\mathcal{H}_{t,k} is endowed with the Hermitian inner product defined by

s1,s2=Xt(s1,s2)htωtn,\langle s_{1},s_{2}\rangle=\int_{X_{t}}(s_{1},s_{2})_{h_{t}}\omega_{t}^{n},

for s1,s2H0(Xt,kKXt)s_{1},s_{2}\in H^{0}(X_{t},kK_{X_{t}}). For simplicity, we will denote KXtK_{X_{t}} by KtK_{t}.

Since XtX_{t} for t0t\neq 0 is of general type, Siu’s invariance of plurigenera theorem from [11] implies that the dimension of H0(Xt,kKt)H^{0}(X_{t},kK_{t}) is independent of tt for t0t\neq 0. We let NkN_{k} denote the dimension of H0(Xt,kKt)H^{0}(X_{t},kK_{t}). So for t0t\neq 0, Nk=dimt,kN_{k}=\dim\mathcal{H}_{t,k}. For t0t\neq 0, K𝒳|XtK_{\mathcal{X}}|_{X_{t}} is naturally isomorphic to KtK_{t}. The isomorphism can be explicitly written. Locally, around a point pXtp\in X_{t}, if (z1,,zn)(z_{1},\cdots,z_{n}) are local coordinates for XtX_{t}, then (t,z1,,zn)(t,z_{1},\cdots,z_{n}) is local coordinates for 𝒳\mathcal{X}. Let fdz1dznfdz_{1}\wedge\cdots\wedge dz_{n} be a local section of KtK_{t}, then fdtdz1dznfdt\wedge dz_{1}\wedge\cdots\wedge dz_{n} is a local section of K𝒳|XtK_{\mathcal{X}}|_{X_{t}}. Conversely, let ss be a local section of K𝒳|XtK_{\mathcal{X}}|_{X_{t}}, the inverse can be written as sdt\frac{s}{dt}. The same holds on the regular part of X0X_{0}.

For simplicity, we denote K𝒳K_{\mathcal{X}} by LL. Then the push forward sheaf π𝒪(kL)\pi_{*}\mathcal{O}(kL) is a coherent sheaf on BB, which is locally free on BB^{*}. And for kk large enough, π𝒪(kL)\pi_{*}\mathcal{O}(kL) is locally free on BB. For the convenience of the readers, we will include a proof of this claim at the end of the article.

Denote by ω0\omega_{0} the Kähler form on X0=X0\Sing(X0)X_{0}^{\prime}=X_{0}\backslash\text{Sing}(X_{0}) corresponding to the complete Cheng-Yau metric. Then ω0n\omega_{0}^{n} defines a Hermitian metric h0h_{0} on L|X0L|_{X_{0}^{\prime}}. Then let 0,k\mathcal{H}_{0,k} denote the Bergman space of (h0,ω0n)(h_{0},\omega_{0}^{n})-L2L_{2}-integrable holomorphic sections of Lk|X0L^{k}|_{X^{\prime}_{0}} and let 0,i,k\mathcal{H}_{0,i,k} denote the Bergman space of L2L_{2}-integrable holomorphic sections of Lk|X0,i\DiL^{k}|_{X_{0,i}\backslash D^{i}}. It will be clear later that each s0,ks\in\mathcal{H}_{0,k} must vanish along all the DαD_{\alpha},

0,k=0,i,k.\mathcal{H}_{0,k}=\oplus\mathcal{H}_{0,i,k}.

Moreover, we can identity 0,i,k\mathcal{H}_{0,i,k} as the subspace of 0,k\mathcal{H}_{0,k} consisting of sections that vanish on all X0,jX_{0,j} except when j=ij=i. Then clearly when iji\neq j, 0,i,k\mathcal{H}_{0,i,k} and 0,j,k\mathcal{H}_{0,j,k} are mutually orthogonal.

Let nk=dim0,kn_{k}=\dim\mathcal{H}_{0,k}, ni,k=dim0,i,kn_{i,k}=\dim\mathcal{H}_{0,i,k} and dα,k=dimH0(Dα,kL)d_{\alpha,k}=\dim H^{0}(D_{\alpha},kL). Then we have

Nk=nk+αΛdα,k.N_{k}=n_{k}+\sum_{\alpha\in\Lambda}d_{\alpha,k}.

So we can write Nk=nkαΛdα,k\mathbb{C}^{N_{k}}=\mathbb{C}^{n_{k}}\oplus\oplus_{\alpha\in\Lambda}\mathbb{C}^{d_{\alpha,k}}, which induces inclusions of the projective spaces

I0:nk1Nk1,I_{0}:\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{n_{k}-1}\to\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{N_{k}-1},

and

Iα:dα,k1Nk1,αΛ.I_{\alpha}:\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{d_{\alpha,k}-1}\to\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{N_{k}-1},\quad\alpha\in\Lambda.

For kk large enough, a basis of 0,k\mathcal{H}_{0,k} induces an embedding

Φ0,k:X~0nk1,\Phi_{0,k}:\tilde{X}_{0}\to\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{n_{k}-1},

where X~0=1ilX0,i\tilde{X}_{0}=\bigsqcup_{1\leq i\leq l}X_{0,i} is the desingularization of X0X_{0}. We denote by Φ0,i,k\Phi_{0,i,k} the restriction of Φ0,k\Phi_{0,k} to X0,iX_{0,i}. So the images of X0,iX_{0,i} and X0,jX_{0,j} under the embedding Φ0,k\Phi_{0,k} are disjoint. Therefore the two copies of Di,j=X0,iX0,jD_{i,j}=X_{0,i}\cap X_{0,j} in X~0\tilde{X}_{0} have two embeddings of Di,jnk1D_{i,j}\to\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{n_{k}-1} according to the two inclusions. When we write Dα=Di,j{D_{\alpha}}=D_{i,j}, we denote by Φk,α,1=Φ0,i,k|Dα\Phi_{k,\alpha,1}=\Phi_{0,i,k}|_{D_{\alpha}} and Φk,α,2=Φ0,j,k|Dα\Phi_{k,\alpha,2}=\Phi_{0,j,k}|_{D_{\alpha}} the two embeddings respectively. Our main result is the following theorem.

Theorem 1.2.

Under the setting of theorem 1.1, when kk is large enough, we can find orthonormal basis {si,l0}1lni,k\{s_{i,l}^{0}\}_{1\leq l\leq n_{i,k}} for 0,i,k\mathcal{H}_{0,i,k} for each ii, and for any sequence of points in BB^{*} that converges to 0 we can choose a subsequence {tu}u=0\{t_{u}\}_{u=0}^{\infty} so that we can choose orthonormal basis {sltu}1lNk\{s_{l}^{t_{u}}\}_{1\leq l\leq N_{k}} for tu,k\mathcal{H}_{t_{u},k} satisfying that the images of the Bergman embeddings Φtu,k:XtuNk1\Phi_{t_{u},k}:X_{t_{u}}\to\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{N_{k}-1} induced by {sltu}1lNk\{s_{l}^{t_{u}}\}_{1\leq l\leq N_{k}}, as uu\to\infty, converges to a subvariety YY described as following:

  • YY has 2|Λ|+12|\Lambda|+1 irreducible components, written as Y=Y0αΛ(Yα,1Yα,2)Y=Y_{0}\bigcup\cup_{\alpha\in\Lambda}(Y_{\alpha,1}\cup Y_{\alpha,2}), such that Y0Y_{0} is the image of I0Φ0,kI_{0}\circ\Phi_{0,k}.

  • For each Dα{D_{\alpha}}, there exists a basis of H0(Dα,kL)H^{0}({D_{\alpha}},kL) that induces a Kodaira embedding Ψα,k:Dαdα,k1Nk1\Psi_{\alpha,k}:{D_{\alpha}}\to\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{d_{\alpha,k}-1}\subset\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{N_{k}-1} such that Yα,1Y_{\alpha,1} (Yα,2Y_{\alpha,2} respectively) consists of linear 1\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{1}’s connecting Φk,a,1(p)\Phi_{k,a,1}(p)(Φk,a,2(p)\Phi_{k,a,2}(p) respectively) to Ψα,k(p)\Psi_{\alpha,k}(p) for all pDαp\in{D_{\alpha}}.

Remark 1.3.
  • We will show that Yα,1Y_{\alpha,1} and Yα,2Y_{\alpha,2} are isomorphic to the projective completions of the two normal bundles of Dα{D_{\alpha}} in X0,iX_{0,i} and X0,jX_{0,j} respectively. And the production of these bubbles during the process of taking limit will be clear in the process of the proof.

  • We suspect the necessity of having to take subsequence in the statement of the theorem. But unfortunately we have not been able to make it unnecessary.

During the proof of our main theorem, we need to construct orthonormal bases. So we are close to considering the Bergman kernel on XtX_{t}. Recall that in [19], Zhou showed that under that ”non-collapsing” condition and lower bound on Ricci curvature of a sequence of pointed complete polarized Kähler manifolds converges in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense, then a subsequence of the polarization also converges and the Bergman kernels converge to the Bergman kernel of the polarization on the limit space. In our setting, the convergence of the Bergman kernels in the non-collapsed part is clear. What interesting is on the collapsing part. We have the following theorem.

Theorem 1.4.

Let ρt,k\rho_{t,k} denote the Bergman kernel of t,k\mathcal{H}_{t,k}. And let

λu(t,k)=maxxXtρt,k(x),\lambda_{u}(t,k)=\max_{x\in X_{t}}\rho_{t,k}(x),

and

λl(t,k)=minxXtρt,k(x).\lambda_{l}(t,k)=\min_{x\in X_{t}}\rho_{t,k}(x).

Then for kk large enough, there are constants ck>0,ck>0c_{k}>0,c_{k}^{\prime}>0 and ck′′>0c_{k}^{\prime\prime}>0 such that

ck<λu(t,k)|log|t||<ck,c_{k}<\frac{\lambda_{u}(t,k)}{\big{|}\log|t|\big{|}}<c_{k}^{\prime},

and

λl(t,k)<ck′′|log|t||2k+1at2k,\lambda_{l}(t,k)<c_{k}^{\prime\prime}\big{|}\log|t|\big{|}^{-2k+1}a_{t}^{2k},

where at=|log|t||a_{t}=\big{|}\log|t|\big{|}.

The maximum is attained among the points ”closest” to DD. In fact, during the proof of theorem 1.2, we will show that fix any smooth Kähler metric gg on 𝒳\mathcal{X}, C1>0,C2>0\exists C_{1}>0,C_{2}>0 such that when |t||t| is small enough, we have

ρt,k(p)>C1|log|t||,\rho_{t,k}(p)>C_{1}\big{|}\log|t|\big{|},

if d(p,D)<C2|t|d(p,D)<C_{2}\sqrt{|t|}, where dd is the distance function defined by gg.

We talk a little about the proofs. In order to prove the main theorem, we need more than theorem 1.1 about the convergence of the Kähler-Einstein metrics, since it is only about the ”non-collapsing part”. We will also need some results in [18] by Zhang about the ”collapsing part”. One may worry about the ”neck” area between them. It turns out that the ”neck” area does not cause much trouble in our current setting. Also, one technical strategy in the proof of our main theorem is to construct almost-orthonormal bases, whose induced Kodaira embedding is easier to describe. Theorem 1.4 is then a byproduct of the proof of the main theorem.

The structure of this article is as follows. In section 2, we will first recall the general estimates of the Cheng-Yau metric and of the Kähler-Einstein metrics on general fibers. Then, with the knowledge of these general estimates, we perform some preparatory calculations. Then in section 3, we construct global sections on general fibers and show that these sections are almost orthonormal. The constructions are divided into two parts: the inner sections and the outer sections whose meaning will be clear after the constructions. Then in section 4, we show the convergence of the Kodaira embeddings induced by these bases and then prove theorem 1.2 and theorem 1.4.

2. Setting-up

2.1. Cheng-Yau metric.

In this subsection, we follow the noations in [12]. The notation DD has different meaning only in this subsection.

Let XX be a smooth projective manifold of dimension nn. Given a simple normal crossing divisor DXD\subset X such that L1=KX+[D]L_{1}=K_{X}+[D] is ample, then the quasi-projective manifold X\DX\backslash D admits a unique complete Kähler-Einstein metric ωKE\omega_{KE} with finite volume and Ric(ωKE)=ωKE\text{Ric}(\omega_{KE})=-\omega_{KE}. It is known that ωKE\omega_{KE} is of Poincaré type, namely locally it is quasi-isometric to

1dz1dz¯1|z1|2(log|z1|2)2+i=2n1dzidz¯i,\frac{\sqrt{-1}dz_{1}\wedge d\bar{z}_{1}}{|z_{1}|^{2}(\log|z_{1}|^{2})^{2}}+\sum_{i=2}^{n}\sqrt{-1}dz_{i}\wedge d\bar{z}_{i},

where (z1,,zn)(z_{1},\cdots,z_{n}) are local coordinates around DD with z1z_{1} a local defining function of DD. Also, ωKE\omega_{KE} extends to be a Kähler current on XX and ωKEn\omega_{KE}^{n} then defines a singular Hermitian metric on L1L_{1}.

Let k\mathcal{H}_{k} denote the Bergman space of L2L_{2}-integrable holomorphic sections of kL1kL_{1} on X\DX\backslash D. Let k,2\mathcal{H}_{k,2} denote the subspace consisting of sections whose vanishing order along DD is larger than 11 and let 𝒢k,1\mathcal{G}_{k,1} denote its orthogonal complement. Then we let ρk\rho_{k} denote the Bergman kernel, ρk,2\rho_{k,2} the Bergman kernel of k,2\mathcal{H}_{k,2} and ϱk,1\varrho_{k,1} the Bergman kernel of 𝒢k,1\mathcal{G}_{k,1}.

In [12], the author showed the asymptotic formula, around DD, for ρk\rho_{k} with the Cheng-Yau metric. In this article, we will not state the main results of that article as we will not explicitly use them. We state one result therein whose idea of proof is used several times in this current article. Fix a smooth Kähler metric on XX, let dD(p)d_{D}(p) be the distance from pp to DD under this smooth metric. Denote by τ(p)=logdD2(p)\tau(p)=-\log d^{2}_{D}(p). And let ε(k)\varepsilon(k) denote a term that is asymptotically smaller than kNk^{-N} for any NN. Then we have the following theorem in the case when DD is smooth.

Theorem 2.1 (part of theorem 1.3 in [12]).

We have

ρk,2=ε(k)ρk,\rho_{k,2}=\varepsilon(k)\rho_{k},

for the points where τ>2k\tau>2k.

This theorem implies that when it comes very close to DD, ρk+1\rho_{k+1} is dominated by ϱk,1\varrho_{k,1}. This idea is used in our construction of orthonormal bases for t,k\mathcal{H}_{t,k}.

2.2. General estimates on generic fibers

We follow the constructions in [18].

The assumption in the main theorem implies that K𝒳K_{\mathcal{X}} is ample on 𝒳\mathcal{X}. So we can choose and fix a smooth Hermitian metric hh on K𝒳K_{\mathcal{X}} with positive curvature. And we denote by ω=12πΘh\omega=\frac{\sqrt{-1}}{2\pi}\Theta_{h} the Kähler form. We also have a smooth volume form VV on 𝒳\mathcal{X}. Then for t0t\neq 0, we have volume form

Vt=V(1dtdt¯)1.V_{t}=V\otimes(\sqrt{-1}dt\wedge d\bar{t})^{-1}.

For each ii, we fix a section SiH0(𝒳,[X0,i])S_{i}\in H^{0}(\mathcal{X},[X_{0,i}]) such that SiS_{i} vanishes on X0,iX_{0,i}. We also requires that the product i=1mSi=t\prod_{i=1}^{m}S_{i}=t. Let i\parallel\cdot\parallel_{i} be a smooth Hermitian metric on [X0,i]𝒳[X_{0,i}]\to\mathcal{X}. By multiplying certain constants if necessary, we can assume that

Siiε1.\parallel S_{i}\parallel_{i}\leq\varepsilon\ll 1.

Let

αi=logSii2,χt=(log|t|2)2i=1mαi2,\alpha_{i}=\log\parallel S_{i}\parallel_{i}^{2},\quad\quad\chi_{t}=(\log|t|^{2})^{2}\prod_{i=1}^{m}\alpha_{i}^{-2},

and

ω~t=1¯logχtVt.\tilde{\omega}_{t}=\sqrt{-1}\partial\bar{\partial}\log\chi_{t}V_{t}.

Then Zhang proved the following proposition.

Proposition 2.2 (propostion 3.1 in [18]).

Let φt\varphi_{t} be the unique solution of Monge-Ampère equation:

(2.1) (ω~t+1¯φt)n=eφtχtVt,(\tilde{\omega}_{t}+\sqrt{-1}\partial\bar{\partial}\varphi_{t})^{n}=e^{\varphi_{t}}\chi_{t}V_{t},

and ωt=ω~t+1¯φt\omega_{t}=\tilde{\omega}_{t}+\sqrt{-1}\partial\bar{\partial}\varphi_{t} be the Kähler-Einstein metric on XtX_{t}. Then

|φt|C1,and C21ω~tωtC2ω~t,|\varphi_{t}|\leq C_{1},\quad\text{and }C^{-1}_{2}\tilde{\omega}_{t}\leq\omega_{t}\leq C_{2}\tilde{\omega}_{t},

for constants C1>0C_{1}>0 and C2>0C_{2}>0 independent of tt.

For a fixed component DαD_{\alpha} of Sing(X0)\text{Sing}(X_{0}), Dα=X0,aX0,bD_{\alpha}=X_{0,a}\cap X_{0,b} for some a,ba,b. For simplicity, we can assume that a=1,b=2a=1,b=2. Around any point pDαp\in D_{\alpha}, we can choose a neighborhood UU with local coordinates (z0,z1,,zn)(z_{0},z_{1},\cdots,z_{n}) so that t=z0z1t=z_{0}z_{1} and X0,1U={z0=0}X_{0,1}\cap U=\{z_{0}=0\} and X0,2U={z1=0}X_{0,2}\cap U=\{z_{1}=0\}. So (z2,,zn)(z_{2},\cdots,z_{n}) are local coordinates for DαD_{\alpha} and (z1,,zn)(z_{1},\cdots,z_{n}) are local coordinates for X0,1X_{0,1}. Of course the choice of such coordinates is not unique. We can require that dz0(p)=dz1(p)\parallel dz_{0}(p)\parallel=\parallel dz_{1}(p)\parallel under the norm defined by ω\omega. We will later refer to such a neighborhood together such coordinates an appropriate coordinates patch. So, since DαD_{\alpha} is compact, we can cover DαD_{\alpha} with finite such coordinates patchs {Uj}\{U_{j}\} and there exists a constant CC such that when UiUjU_{i}\cap U_{j}\neq\emptyset with coordinates (z0,z1,,zn)(z_{0},z_{1},\cdots,z_{n}) and (z0,z1,,zn)(z^{\prime}_{0},z^{\prime}_{1},\cdots,z^{\prime}_{n}) respectively, we have

C1|z0|<|z0|<C|z0|,C^{-1}|z^{\prime}_{0}|<|z_{0}|<C|z^{\prime}_{0}|,

hence also C1|z1|<|z1|<C|z1|C^{-1}|z^{\prime}_{1}|<|z_{1}|<C|z^{\prime}_{1}|. We can also modify the choice of (z2,,zn)(z_{2},\cdots,z_{n}) so that there exists a constant CC^{\prime} such that

1C<V(1)n+1dz0dz¯0dzndz¯n<C,\frac{1}{C^{\prime}}<\frac{V}{(\sqrt{-1})^{n+1}dz_{0}\wedge d\bar{z}_{0}\wedge\cdots dz_{n}\wedge d\bar{z}_{n}}<C^{\prime},

on every UjU_{j}. We denote by μα=ωn1\mu_{\alpha}=\omega^{n-1} the volume form on DαD_{\alpha}. Then there exists a constant C′′C^{\prime\prime} such that

1C′′<μα(1)n1dz2dz¯2dzndz¯n<C′′,\frac{1}{C^{\prime\prime}}<\frac{\mu_{\alpha}}{(\sqrt{-1})^{n-1}dz_{2}\wedge d\bar{z}_{2}\wedge\cdots dz_{n}\wedge d\bar{z}_{n}}<C^{\prime\prime},

on every UjDαU_{j}\cap D_{\alpha}. We can furthermore require that, under the Hermitian inner product defined by ω\omega, dzi(p),dzj(p)=δji\langle dz_{i}(p),dz_{j}(p)\rangle=\delta_{j}^{i} for i2,j2i\geq 2,j\geq 2. On X0,1X_{0,1} (or similarly on X0,2X_{0,2}), we can choose a defining function w1w_{1} of DαD_{\alpha} so that (w1,w2=z2,,wn=zn)(w_{1},w_{2}=z_{2},\cdots,w_{n}=z_{n}) are local coordinates and ω(p)=δjidwidw¯j\omega(p)=\sum\delta_{j}^{i}dw_{i}\wedge d\bar{w}_{j}. By a compactness argument, one easily sees that there is a positive lower bound for the angle between z1\frac{\partial}{\partial z_{1}} and w1\frac{\partial}{\partial w_{1}} on UjX0,1U_{j}\cap X_{0,1} valid for every UjU_{j}. The same holds for X0,2X_{0,2}.

For simplicity, we can also make UU a polydisc by requiring |zi|<Ri,i=0,,n|z_{i}|<R_{i},i=0,\cdots,n.

Since dt=z1dz0+z0dz1dt=z_{1}dz_{0}+z_{0}dz_{1}, we have dtdz1=z1dz0dz1dt\wedge dz_{1}=z_{1}dz_{0}\wedge dz_{1} and dtdz0=z0dz0dz1dt\wedge dz_{0}=-z_{0}dz_{0}\wedge dz_{1}. So for t0t\neq 0,

(1)n+1dz0dz¯0dzndz¯n1dtdt¯=(1)n|z1|2dz1dz¯1dzndz¯n,\frac{(\sqrt{-1})^{n+1}dz_{0}\wedge d\bar{z}_{0}\wedge\cdots dz_{n}\wedge d\bar{z}_{n}}{\sqrt{-1}dt\wedge d\bar{t}}=\frac{(\sqrt{-1})^{n}}{|z_{1}|^{2}}dz_{1}\wedge d\bar{z}_{1}\wedge\cdots dz_{n}\wedge d\bar{z}_{n},

and also

dz0dz¯0dzndz¯ndtdt¯=dz0dz¯0|z0|2dz2dz¯2dzndz¯n.\frac{dz_{0}\wedge d\bar{z}_{0}\wedge\cdots dz_{n}\wedge d\bar{z}_{n}}{dt\wedge d\bar{t}}=\frac{dz_{0}\wedge d\bar{z}_{0}}{|z_{0}|^{2}}\wedge dz_{2}\wedge d\bar{z}_{2}\wedge\cdots dz_{n}\wedge d\bar{z}_{n}.

Therefore there exists another constant CC such that

1C<|z1|2Vt(1)ndz1dz¯1dzndz¯n<C,\frac{1}{C}<\frac{|z_{1}|^{2}V_{t}}{(\sqrt{-1})^{n}dz_{1}\wedge d\bar{z}_{1}\wedge\cdots dz_{n}\wedge d\bar{z}_{n}}<C,

on each UiU_{i}. We denote by

χ~t=(log|t|2)2α12α22.\tilde{\chi}_{t}=\frac{(\log|t|^{2})^{2}}{\alpha_{1}^{2}\alpha_{2}^{2}}.

Then there is a constant CC^{\prime} such that

C1<χtχ~t<C,C^{{}^{\prime}-1}<\frac{\chi_{t}}{\tilde{\chi}_{t}}<C^{\prime},

on each UiU_{i}.

We denote by σ=log|z1|2\sigma=-\log|z_{1}|^{2}, then α2=ψ2σ\alpha_{2}=\psi_{2}-\sigma and α1=log|t|2+σ+ψ1\alpha_{1}=\log|t|^{2}+\sigma+\psi_{1} for some bounded functions ψ1,ψ2\psi_{1},\psi_{2}. Then χ~t1=(α1log|t|2)2(ψ2σ)2\tilde{\chi}_{t}^{-1}=(\frac{\alpha_{1}}{\log|t|^{2}})^{2}(\psi_{2}-\sigma)^{2}. So we have the following proposition.

Proposition 2.3.

There exist positive constants t0t_{0}, MM and C3C_{3} such that for 0<|t|<t00<|t|<t_{0}, M<σ<12log|t|2M<\sigma<\frac{-1}{2}\log|t|^{2}, we have

C31<|z1|2σ2χtVt(1)ndz1dz¯1dzndz¯n<C3,C^{-1}_{3}<\frac{|z_{1}|^{2}\sigma^{2}\chi_{t}V_{t}}{(\sqrt{-1})^{n}dz_{1}\wedge d\bar{z}_{1}\wedge\cdots dz_{n}\wedge d\bar{z}_{n}}<C_{3},

on each UiU_{i}.

Then together with proposition 2.2, we have the following.

Corollary 2.4.

There exist positive constants t0t_{0}, MM and C4C_{4} such that for 0<|t|<t00<|t|<t_{0}, M<σ<12log|t|2M<\sigma<\frac{-1}{2}\log|t|^{2}, we have

C41<|z1|2σ2ωtn(1)ndz1dz¯1dzndz¯n<C4,C^{-1}_{4}<\frac{|z_{1}|^{2}\sigma^{2}\omega_{t}^{n}}{(\sqrt{-1})^{n}dz_{1}\wedge d\bar{z}_{1}\wedge\cdots dz_{n}\wedge d\bar{z}_{n}}<C_{4},

where ωt\omega_{t} is the Kähler-Einstein metric on XtX_{t}, on each UiU_{i}.

We can write

ωtn=eϕt(1)n|z1|2dz1dz¯1dzndz¯n.\omega_{t}^{n}=e^{-\phi_{t}}\frac{(\sqrt{-1})^{n}}{|z_{1}|^{2}}dz_{1}\wedge d\bar{z}_{1}\wedge\cdots dz_{n}\wedge d\bar{z}_{n}.

Let s=f(dz0dzn)ks=f(dz_{0}\wedge\cdots\wedge dz_{n})^{\otimes k} be a local section of K𝒳kK_{\mathcal{X}}^{k}. Then we have a section

sts(dt)k=fz1k(dz1dzn)ks_{t}\triangleq\frac{s}{(dt)^{\otimes k}}=\frac{f}{z_{1}^{k}}(dz_{1}\wedge\cdots\wedge dz_{n})^{\otimes k}

in H0(Xt,kKXt)H^{0}(X_{t},kK_{X_{t}}).

Terminology. For simplicity, we will call sts_{t} the restriction of ss to XtX_{t}.

So the pointwise norm of sts_{t} defined by the Kähler-Einstein metric on XtX_{t} is

stKE2=|f|2ekϕt.\parallel s_{t}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}=|f|^{2}e^{k\phi_{t}}.

And so its local L2L_{2} norm is given by

|f|2e(k1)ϕt(1)n|z1|2𝑑z1dz¯1dzndz¯n.\int|f|^{2}e^{(k-1)\phi_{t}}\frac{(\sqrt{-1})^{n}}{|z_{1}|^{2}}dz_{1}\wedge d\bar{z}_{1}\wedge\cdots dz_{n}\wedge d\bar{z}_{n}.

Therefore, by corollary 2.4, we need to estimate integrals of the form

|f(z1)|2(log|z1|2)2k1|z1|2𝑑z1dz¯1.\int|f(z_{1})|^{2}(\log|z_{1}|^{2})^{2k}\frac{\sqrt{-1}}{|z_{1}|^{2}}dz_{1}\wedge d\bar{z}_{1}.

In particular, when the region is Ω={z1|M<σ<12log|t|2}\Omega=\{z_{1}|M<\sigma<\frac{-1}{2}\log|t|^{2}\},

(2.2) Ω|f(z1)|2(log|z1|2)2k1|z1|2𝑑z1dz¯1=πMy|f(z1)|2(σ)2k𝑑σ,\int_{\Omega}|f(z_{1})|^{2}(\log|z_{1}|^{2})^{2k}\frac{\sqrt{-1}}{|z_{1}|^{2}}dz_{1}\wedge d\bar{z}_{1}=\pi\int_{M}^{y}|f(z_{1})|^{2}(\sigma)^{2k}d\sigma,

where y=12log|t|2y=\frac{-1}{2}\log|t|^{2}. When f=1f=1, we have

My(σ)2k𝑑σ=y2k+1M2k+12k+1.\int_{M}^{y}(\sigma)^{2k}d\sigma=\frac{y^{2k+1}-M^{2k+1}}{2k+1}.

So

(2.3) yy(σ)2k𝑑σ\displaystyle\int_{\sqrt{y}}^{y}(\sigma)^{2k}d\sigma =\displaystyle= y2k+1y(2k+1)/22k+1\displaystyle\frac{y^{2k+1}-y^{(2k+1)/2}}{2k+1}
(2.4) =\displaystyle= 1y(2k+1)/21(M/y)2k+1My(σ)2k𝑑σ.\displaystyle\frac{1-y^{-(2k+1)}/2}{1-(M/y)^{2k+1}}\int_{M}^{y}(\sigma)^{2k}d\sigma.

Then we have

limt0yy(σ)2k𝑑σMy(σ)2k𝑑σ=1.\lim_{t\to 0}\frac{\int_{\sqrt{y}}^{y}(\sigma)^{2k}d\sigma}{\int_{M}^{y}(\sigma)^{2k}d\sigma}=1.

When f=z1if=z_{1}^{i} for i1i\geq 1, we do not have explicit formulas for the integral

2.3. Collaping part.

Denote by GJG_{J}\subset\mathbb{C} the strip J×1J\times\sqrt{-1}\mathbb{R} for any subset J(0,1)J\subset(0,1). Let ww be the complex coordinate for GJG_{J} and let x=Rewx={\operatorname{Re}\,}w. Let Jt=(logεlog|t|,1logεlog|t|)J_{t}=(\frac{\log\varepsilon}{\log|t|},1-\frac{\log\varepsilon}{\log|t|}), we denote by Gt=GJtG_{t}=G_{J_{t}}. Define a covering map:

Pt:Gt×{(z2,,zn)||zi|<Ri,i2}UXtP_{t}:G_{t}\times\{(z_{2},\cdots,z_{n})\big{|}|z_{i}|<R_{i},i\geq 2\}\to U\cap X_{t}

by

Pt(w,z2,,zn)=(ewlog|t|,z2,,zn).P_{t}(w,z_{2},\cdots,z_{n})=(e^{w\log|t|},z_{2},\cdots,z_{n}).

In [18], Zhang proved the following results.

Lemma 2.5 (lemma 3.2 in [18]).

Let K(0,1)K\subset(0,1) be a compact subset such that KJtK\subset J_{t} for |t|1|t|\ll 1. On GK×(UDα)G_{K}\times(U\cap D_{\alpha}), when t0t\to 0,

PtχtVtV0=dwdw¯16(1x)2x2Vα,P_{t}^{*}\chi_{t}V_{t}\to V_{0}^{\prime}=\frac{dw\wedge d\bar{w}}{16(1-x)^{2}x^{2}}\wedge V_{\alpha},

in the CC^{\infty}-sense, where VαV_{\alpha} is a smooth volume form on UDαU\cap D_{\alpha}.

When U=UjU=U_{j} for some jj, Vα,jV_{\alpha,j} is a more accurate notation for the volume form VαV_{\alpha} in the lemma. By our requirements on the coordinates patches UjU_{j}, we have that on the intersection of (Ui,(z0,,zn))(U_{i},(z_{0},\cdots,z_{n})) and (Uj,(z0,,zn))(U_{j},(z^{\prime}_{0},\cdots,z_{n}^{\prime})), we have

|log|z1||z1||<C,\big{|}\log\frac{|z_{1}^{\prime}|}{|z_{1}|}\big{|}<C,

for some constant C>0C>0. So the corresponding coordinates on KK satisfies |xx|<C|log|t|||x^{\prime}-x|<\frac{C}{|\log|t||}. So when t0t\to 0, xx0x^{\prime}-x\to 0. And the imaginary part is similar. Therefore, we have

Vα,j=Vα,i,V_{\alpha,j}=V_{\alpha,i},

on overlaps, namely they glue together to produce a global volume form 𝒱α\mathcal{V}_{\alpha} on DαD_{\alpha}. And we denote by 𝒱\mathcal{V} the induced volume form on DD. And for simplicity, we denote by 𝒱j\mathcal{V}_{j} when restricted to UjDαU_{j}\cap D_{\alpha} for some α\alpha.

Theorem 2.6 (lemma 3.3 in [18]).

Let φt\varphi_{t} be the unique solution of (2.1), and ωt=ω~t+1¯φt\omega_{t}=\tilde{\omega}_{t}+\sqrt{-1}\partial\bar{\partial}\varphi_{t}. For any sequence tk0t_{k}\to 0, a subsequence of ϕtkPtk\phi_{t_{k}}\circ P_{t_{k}} converges to ϕ0\phi_{0} in the CC^{\infty}-sense on K×1×(UDα)K\times\sqrt{-1}\mathbb{R}\times(U\cap D_{\alpha}) satisfying the complex Monge-Ampère equation:

(2.5) (ω~0+1¯φ0)n=eφ0V0(\tilde{\omega}_{0}+\sqrt{-1}\partial\bar{\partial}\varphi_{0})^{n}=e^{\varphi_{0}}V_{0}^{\prime}

with |φ0|C3|\varphi_{0}|\leq C_{3}, and C41ω~0ω~0+1¯φ0C4ω~0C_{4}^{-1}\tilde{\omega}_{0}\leq\tilde{\omega}_{0}+\sqrt{-1}\partial\bar{\partial}\varphi_{0}\leq C_{4}\tilde{\omega}_{0}.

Furthermore, φ0\varphi_{0} is independent of Im(w){\operatorname{Im}\,}(w), i.e.

φ0=φ0(x,z2,,zn).\varphi_{0}=\varphi_{0}(x,z_{2},\cdots,z_{n}).

By lemma 2.5 and theorem 2.6, eφ0V0=eφ0dwdw¯16(1x)2x2𝒱ie^{\varphi_{0}}V_{0}^{\prime}=e^{\varphi_{0}}\frac{dw\wedge d\bar{w}}{16(1-x)^{2}x^{2}}\wedge\mathcal{V}_{i} on UiDαU_{i}\cap D_{\alpha}.

Definition 2.1.

We call a sequence {tl}\{t_{l}\} that converges to 0 a good sequence if PtωtnP_{t}^{*}\omega_{t}^{n} converges on GK×(UiDα)G_{K}\times(U_{i}\cap D_{\alpha}) for every α,i\alpha,i and for every KK.

Let tu0t_{u}\to 0 be a good sequence. We consider the form eφ0𝒱i16(1x)2x2e^{\varphi_{0}}\frac{\mathcal{V}_{i}}{16(1-x)^{2}x^{2}} on GK×(UiDα)G_{K}\times(U_{i}\cap D_{\alpha}). If we change the coordinates (z2,,zn)(z_{2},\cdots,z_{n}) on UiDαU_{i}\cap D_{\alpha} to (z2,,zn)(z_{2}^{\prime},\cdots,z_{n}^{\prime}), then the representation function of ωtn\omega_{t}^{n} is changed by |detJ|2|\det J|^{2}, where JJ is the matrix {zazb}a,b2\{\frac{\partial z_{a}}{\partial z_{b}^{\prime}}\}_{a,b\geq 2}. Then since the image of GK×(UiDα)G_{K}\times(U_{i}\cap D_{\alpha}) under PtP_{t} converges to UiDαU_{i}\cap D_{\alpha} as t0t\to 0, the limit of the representation function of PtωtnP_{t}^{*}\omega_{t}^{n} is changed by |detJ|UiDα|2|\det J|_{U_{i}\cap D_{\alpha}}|^{2}. Therefore, eφ0𝒱i16(1x)2x2e^{\varphi_{0}}\frac{\mathcal{V}_{i}}{16(1-x)^{2}x^{2}} glues together to be a smooth section of Π1ΩDαn1,n1\Pi^{-1}\Omega_{D_{\alpha}}^{n-1,n-1} on GK×DαG_{K}\times D_{\alpha}, where Π:GK×DαDα\Pi:G_{K}\times D_{\alpha}\to D_{\alpha} is the natural projection. And by letting K=[δ,1δ]K=[\delta,1-\delta] and δ0\delta\to 0, we get a smooth section of Π1ΩDαn1,n1\Pi^{-1}\Omega_{D_{\alpha}}^{n-1,n-1} on G(0,1)×DαG_{(0,1)}\times D_{\alpha}.

Recall that

ωtn=eϕt(1)n|z1|2dz1dz¯1dzndz¯n,\omega_{t}^{n}=e^{-\phi_{t}}\frac{(\sqrt{-1})^{n}}{|z_{1}|^{2}}dz_{1}\wedge d\bar{z}_{1}\wedge\cdots dz_{n}\wedge d\bar{z}_{n},

then since Ptdz1dz¯1=(log|t|)2|z1|2dwdw¯P_{t}^{*}dz_{1}\wedge d\bar{z}_{1}=(\log|t|)^{2}|z_{1}|^{2}dw\wedge d\bar{w}, we have

Ptωtn=(log|t|)2eϕtPt(1)ndwdw¯dz2dz¯2dzndz¯n.P_{t}^{*}\omega_{t}^{n}=(\log|t|)^{2}e^{-\phi_{t}\circ P_{t}}(\sqrt{-1})^{n}dw\wedge d\bar{w}\wedge dz_{2}\wedge d\bar{z}_{2}\wedge\cdots dz_{n}\wedge d\bar{z}_{n}.

For simplicity, we denote by dμ=(1)ndwdw¯dz2dz¯2dzndz¯nd\mu=(\sqrt{-1})^{n}dw\wedge d\bar{w}\wedge dz_{2}\wedge d\bar{z}_{2}\wedge\cdots dz_{n}\wedge d\bar{z}_{n}. Then if we denote by 𝒱i=eψi(1)n1dz2dz¯2dzndz¯n\mathcal{V}_{i}=e^{\psi_{i}}(\sqrt{-1})^{n-1}dz_{2}\wedge d\bar{z}_{2}\wedge\cdots dz_{n}\wedge d\bar{z}_{n}, then

liml(log|tl|)2eϕtlPtl=116(1x)2x2eψi+φ0.\lim_{l\to\infty}(\log|t_{l}|)^{2}e^{-\phi_{t_{l}}\circ P_{t_{l}}}=\frac{1}{16(1-x)^{2}x^{2}}e^{\psi_{i}+\varphi_{0}}.

Let s=f(dz0dzn)(k+1)s=f(dz_{0}\wedge\cdots\wedge dz_{n})^{\otimes(k+1)} be a local section of K𝒳k+1K_{\mathcal{X}}^{k+1}. Then the L2L_{2} norm over Pt(GK×(UiDα))P_{t}(G_{K}\times(U_{i}\cap D_{\alpha})) of sts_{t} is

K×1[0,2πlog|t|]×(UiDα)|f|2ekϕt(log|t|)2𝑑μ.\int_{K\times\sqrt{-1}[0,\frac{2\pi}{-\log|t|}]\times(U_{i}\cap D_{\alpha})}|f|^{2}e^{k\phi_{t}}(\log|t|)^{2}d\mu.

In particular, when ff depends only on (z2,,zn)(z_{2},\cdots,z_{n}), we are looking at

K×1[0,2πlog|t|]×(UiDα)|f|2ekϕt(log|t|)2k(log|t|)2k+2𝑑μ.\int_{K\times\sqrt{-1}[0,\frac{2\pi}{-\log|t|}]\times(U_{i}\cap D_{\alpha})}|f|^{2}\frac{e^{k\phi_{t}}}{(\log|t|)^{2k}}(\log|t|)^{2k+2}d\mu.

So its quotient by (log|tl|)2k+1-(\log|t_{l}|)^{2k+1}, as ll\to\infty, converges to

(2.6) πK×(UiDα)|f|2[4(1x)x]2kekψikφ0𝑑μ=UiDα|f|2e(k+1)ψi𝑑ν{tl},α,K,k\pi\int_{K\times(U_{i}\cap D_{\alpha})}|f|^{2}[4(1-x)x]^{2k}e^{-k\psi_{i}-k\varphi_{0}}d\mu=\int_{U_{i}\cap D_{\alpha}}|f|^{2}e^{-(k+1)\psi_{i}}d\nu_{\{t_{l}\},\alpha,K,k}

where

(2.7) dν{tl},α,K,k=π𝒱xKekφ0[4(1x)x]2k𝑑x,d\nu_{\{t_{l}\},\alpha,K,k}=\pi\mathcal{V}\int_{x\in K}e^{-k\varphi_{0}}[4(1-x)x]^{2k}dx,

is a volume form on DαD_{\alpha}. We also denote by

dν{tu},α,k=π𝒱01ekφ0[4(1x)x]2k𝑑x,d\nu_{\{t_{u}\},\alpha,k}=\pi\mathcal{V}\int_{0}^{1}e^{-k\varphi_{0}}[4(1-x)x]^{2k}dx,

the induced volume form on DαD_{\alpha}.

Note that eψi=dz2dzn𝒱i2e^{-\psi_{i}}=\parallel dz_{2}\wedge\cdots\wedge dz_{n}\parallel^{2}_{\mathcal{V}_{i}}. So the term |f|2e(k+1)ψi|f|^{2}e^{-(k+1)\psi_{i}} can be understood as the point-wise norm of a pluri-canonical form. To connect K𝒳K_{\mathcal{X}} to KDαK_{D_{\alpha}}, we notice that dz0dz1dz_{0}\wedge dz_{1} on DαD_{\alpha} does not depend on our choice of (z0,z1)(z_{0},z_{1}). Indeed, since we require z0z1=tz_{0}z_{1}=t, a different choice (z0,z1)(z_{0}^{\prime},z_{1}^{\prime}) must satisfy z0=z0F(z),z1=z1F(z)z_{0}^{\prime}=z_{0}F(z),z_{1}^{\prime}=\frac{z_{1}}{F(z)}. Let qUDαq\in U\cap D_{\alpha}, c=F(q)c=F(q). Then, at qq, we have dz0=cdz0dz_{0}^{\prime}=cdz_{0} and dz1=c1dz1dz_{1}^{\prime}=c^{-1}dz_{1}. So dz0dz1=dz0dz1dz_{0}\wedge dz_{1}=dz_{0}^{\prime}\wedge dz_{1}^{\prime}. So we have an isomorphism K𝒳|DαKDαK_{\mathcal{X}}|_{D_{\alpha}}\to K_{D_{\alpha}} given by dz0dzndz2dzndz_{0}\wedge\cdots\wedge dz_{n}\to dz_{2}\wedge\cdots\wedge dz_{n}. In the following, we will tacitly use this isomorphism.

For later use, we denote by

bk\displaystyle b_{k} =\displaystyle= 01[4(1x)x]2k𝑑x\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}[4(1-x)x]^{2k}dx
=\displaystyle= 16kΓ(2k+1)2Γ(4k+1).\displaystyle 16^{k}\frac{\Gamma(2k+1)^{2}}{\Gamma(4k+1)}.

3. Construction of almost orthonormal bases

3.1. Inner sections

To apply these estimates to global sections, we use an extension theorem by Finski. Let XX be a complex manifold with a positive line bundle (E,hE)(E,h^{E}) over it. Let (F,hF)(F,h^{F}) be an arbitrary Hermitian vector bundle over XX. Let YY be a complex manifold and let ι:YX\iota:Y\to X be an embedding. Let n=dimXn=\dim X m=dimYm=\dim Y. Fix volume forms dvXdv_{X} and dvYdv_{Y} on XX and YY respectively. Then both H0(X,EkF)H^{0}(X,E^{k}\otimes F) and H0(Y,ι(EkF))H^{0}(Y,\iota^{*}(E^{k}\otimes F)) is endowed with a Hermitian inner product. Denote by H0,(X,EkF)H^{0,\bot}(X,E^{k}\otimes F) the orthogonal complement of the space of sections that vanish on YY. Then we would like to estimate the norm of the restriction operator

Resk:H0,(X,EkF)H0(Y,ι(EkF)).\text{Res}_{k}:H^{0,\bot}(X,E^{k}\otimes F)\to H^{0}(Y,\iota^{*}(E^{k}\otimes F)).

Under the assumption of bounded geometry, Finski proved the following theorem.

Theorem 3.1 (theorem 4.1 in [6]).

There exist c,C>0c,C>0 and integer k1>0k_{1}>0 such that for any kk1k\geq k_{1}, we have

cknm2ReskCknm2.ck^{\frac{n-m}{2}}\leq\parallel\text{Res}_{k}\parallel\leq Ck^{\frac{n-m}{2}}.

The readers are refered to [6] (Definitions 2.3 and 2.4) for the definition of bouded geometry. The lower bound in the theorem has a less abstract form:

Theorem 3.2 (theorem 4.4 in [6]).

There exists C>0C>0, k1>0k_{1}>0 such that for any kk1k\geq k_{1} and sH0(Y,ι(EkF))s\in H^{0}(Y,\iota^{*}(E^{k}\otimes F)), there is fH0(X,EkF)f\in H^{0}(X,E^{k}\otimes F) such that f|Y=sf|_{Y}=s and

fL2(X)Ck(mn)/2sL2(Y)\parallel f\parallel_{L^{2}(X)}\leq Ck^{(m-n)/2}\parallel s\parallel_{L^{2}(Y)}

We let Y=DαY=D_{\alpha}, X=𝒳X=\mathcal{X} with Kähler form ω\omega and E=K𝒳E=K_{\mathcal{X}} with the Hermitian metric hh. Then by slightly shrinking the disk BB, our setting with FF the trivial bundle satisfies the assumption of bounded geometry in [6]. We denote by h\parallel\cdot\parallel_{h} the L2L_{2}-norm defined by hh and ω\omega for sections in H0(Dα,kL)H^{0}(D_{\alpha},kL). Then let sH0(Dα,kL)s\in H^{0}(D_{\alpha},kL) be of unit norm, we have an extension s~H0(𝒳,kL)\tilde{s}\in H^{0}(\mathcal{X},kL) For any submanifold Y𝒳Y^{\prime}\subset\mathcal{X}, We denote by h,Y\parallel\cdot\parallel_{h,Y^{\prime}} the L2L_{2}-norm defined by hh and ω\omega for sections in H0(Y,kL)H^{0}(Y^{\prime},kL). Then there exists C>0,k1>0C>0,k_{1}>0 such that for a section sH0(Dα,kL)s\in H^{0}(D_{\alpha},kL) of unit norm with kk1k\geq k_{1}, we have an extension s~H0(𝒳,kL)\tilde{s}\in H^{0}(\mathcal{X},kL) such that

s~h,𝒳2C1k2.\parallel\tilde{s}\parallel^{2}_{h,\mathcal{X}}\leq\frac{C_{1}}{k^{2}}.

To fix our choice, we let s~\tilde{s} to be of minimal norm.

Denote by s~0,i\tilde{s}_{0,i} the restriction of s~\tilde{s} to X0,iX_{0,i}. Then for i=1,2i=1,2, s~\tilde{s} is an extension of s~0,i\tilde{s}_{0,i} from X0,iX_{0,i}. Then by the upper bound in theorem 3.1, we have

s~0,ih,X0,i2\displaystyle\parallel\tilde{s}_{0,i}\parallel^{2}_{h,X_{0,i}} \displaystyle\leq C2ks~h,𝒳2\displaystyle C_{2}k\parallel\tilde{s}\parallel^{2}_{h,\mathcal{X}}
\displaystyle\leq C3k,\displaystyle\frac{C_{3}}{k},

for i=1,2i=1,2.

If we fix a Kähler metric on 𝒳\mathcal{X}, then any vector field vv on BB can be horizontally lifted to be a vector field v~\tilde{v} on 𝒳\Sing(X0)\mathcal{X}\backslash\text{Sing}(X_{0}). Then for any t0t\neq 0, we can use a straight line γ(u)\gamma(u) on BB to connect 0 and tt, and then the integral flow v~\tilde{v} with v=uv=\frac{\partial}{\partial u} gives the maps ϕβ,t\phi_{\beta,t} in Tian’s theorem, at least for tt small.

Denote by s~t\tilde{s}_{t} the restriction of s~\tilde{s} to XtX_{t}. For every δ1>0\delta_{1}>0, we let Uiδ1U_{i}^{\delta_{1}} denote the subset of UiU_{i} consists of points satisfying |z0|>δ1|z_{0}|>\delta_{1} or |z1|>δ1|z_{1}|>\delta_{1}. Then M1>0\exists M_{1}>0 such that Ujδ1X0,is~0,iCY2<ε1\int_{U_{j}^{\delta_{1}}\cap X_{0,i}}\parallel\tilde{s}_{0,i}\parallel^{2}_{CY}<\varepsilon_{1}. Then by theorem 1.1, we have Ujδ1Xts~tKE2<2M1,\int_{U_{j}^{\delta_{1}}\cap X_{t}}\parallel\tilde{s}_{t}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}<2M_{1}, for |t||t| small enough. Let MM be the constant as in the statement of corollary 2.4. We can choose M>2kM>2k. And we denote by y1=log|t|2My_{1}=-\log|t|^{2}-M. We choose δ1\delta_{1} so that log|δ1|2=4M-\log|\delta_{1}|^{2}=4M.

On UjU_{j}, s~=f(dz0dzn)(k+1)\tilde{s}=f(dz_{0}\wedge\cdots\wedge dz_{n})^{\otimes(k+1)}. Then on UjXtU_{j}\cap X_{t}, using (z1,,zn)(z_{1},\cdots,z_{n}) as coordinates, f=iaiz1if=\sum_{i\in\mathbb{Z}}a_{i}z_{1}^{i}, where ai=ai(z2,,zn)a_{i}=a_{i}(z_{2},\cdots,z_{n}). We denote by f+=i>0aiz1if_{+}=\sum_{i>0}a_{i}z_{1}^{i} and f=i<0aiz1if_{-}=\sum_{i<0}a_{i}z_{1}^{i}. So now we need to consider

|z1|2i(σ)2k𝑑σ=eiσ+2klogσ𝑑σ.\int|z_{1}|^{2i}(\sigma)^{2k}d\sigma=\int e^{-i\sigma+2k\log\sigma}d\sigma.

We denote by s~+=f+(dz0dzn)(k+1)\tilde{s}_{+}=f_{+}(dz_{0}\wedge\cdots\wedge dz_{n})^{\otimes(k+1)} and s~=f(dz0dzn)(k+1)\tilde{s}_{-}=f_{-}(dz_{0}\wedge\cdots\wedge dz_{n})^{\otimes(k+1)}.

To analyze the integrals, we recall the following basic lemma from [12].

Lemma 3.3.

Let f(x)f(x) be a concave function. Suppose f(x0)<0f^{\prime}(x_{0})<0, then we have

x0ef(x)𝑑xef(x0)f(x0)\int_{x_{0}}^{\infty}e^{f(x)}dx\leq\frac{e^{f(x_{0})}}{-f^{\prime}(x_{0})}

Since the exponent iσ+2klogσ-i\sigma+2k\log\sigma is a concave function of σ\sigma, we have

4My1eiσ+2klogσ𝑑σ<(i2k4M)1ei4M+2klog(2M).\int_{4M}^{y_{1}}e^{-i\sigma+2k\log\sigma}d\sigma<(i-\frac{2k}{4M})^{-1}e^{-i4M+2k\log(2M)}.

Also clearly we have

M4Meiσ+2klogσ𝑑σ>ei(M+1)+2klog(M+1).\int_{M}^{4M}e^{-i\sigma+2k\log\sigma}d\sigma>e^{-i(M+1)+2k\log(M+1)}.

Therefore

My1eiσ+2klogσ𝑑σ<2M4Meiσ+2klogσ𝑑σ.\int_{M}^{y_{1}}e^{-i\sigma+2k\log\sigma}d\sigma<2\int_{M}^{4M}e^{-i\sigma+2k\log\sigma}d\sigma.

So for general holomorphic function g=i=1aiz1ig=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}a_{i}z_{1}^{i}, we have

Mσy1|g|2(σ)2k1|z1|2𝑑z1dz¯1\displaystyle\int_{M\leq\sigma\leq y_{1}}|g|^{2}(\sigma)^{2k}\frac{\sqrt{-1}}{|z_{1}|^{2}}dz_{1}\wedge d\bar{z}_{1} =\displaystyle= πi=1|ai|2My1|z1|2i(σ)2k𝑑σ\displaystyle\pi\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}|a_{i}|^{2}\int_{M}^{y_{1}}|z_{1}|^{2i}(\sigma)^{2k}d\sigma
\displaystyle\leq 2Mσ4M|g|2(σ)2k1|z1|2𝑑z1dz¯1\displaystyle 2\int_{M\leq\sigma\leq 4M}|g|^{2}(\sigma)^{2k}\frac{\sqrt{-1}}{|z_{1}|^{2}}dz_{1}\wedge d\bar{z}_{1}

Notice that for σ>y\sigma>y, we have (log|z0|2)2=(2yσ)2<σ2(\log|z_{0}|^{2})^{2}=(2y-\sigma)^{2}<\sigma^{2}. So we can apply the preceeding calculations to f+f_{+} and to ff_{-} with z0z_{0} replacing z1z_{1} to get that

(3.1) UjXt(s~±)tKE2ωtn\displaystyle\int_{U_{j}\cap X_{t}}\parallel(\tilde{s}_{\pm})_{t}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{t}^{n} \displaystyle\leq CkUjδ1Xt(s~±)tKE2ωtn\displaystyle C^{k}\int_{U_{j}^{\delta_{1}}\cap X_{t}}\parallel(\tilde{s}_{\pm})_{t}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{t}^{n}
(3.2) \displaystyle\leq 2CkM1\displaystyle 2C^{k}M_{1}

for some contant CC independent of tt and jj. By the calculations preceeding equation 2.6, and since φ0\varphi_{0} is uniformly bounded, we get that c>0\exists c>0 such that

UjXt(s~s~+s~)tKE2ωtn>ckbk|log|t||2k+1UjDα|a0|2e(k+1)ψj𝒱j,\int_{U_{j}\cap X_{t}}\parallel(\tilde{s}-\tilde{s}_{+}-\tilde{s}_{-})_{t}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{t}^{n}>c^{k}b_{k}|\log|t||^{2k+1}\int_{U_{j}\cap D_{\alpha}}|a_{0}|^{2}e^{-(k+1)\psi_{j}}\mathcal{V}_{j},

for every jj. Therefore,

(3.3) UjXts~tKE2ωtn>ck|log|t||2k+1UjDα|a0|2e(k+1)ψj𝒱j,\int_{U_{j}\cap X_{t}}\parallel\tilde{s}_{t}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{t}^{n}>c_{k}^{\prime}\big{|}\log|t|\big{|}^{2k+1}\int_{U_{j}\cap D_{\alpha}}|a_{0}|^{2}e^{-(k+1)\psi_{j}}\mathcal{V}_{j},

for tt large enough, for a constant ckc_{k}^{\prime}.

Let d(q)d(q) denote the distance of a point qq to DαD_{\alpha} defined by ω\omega, and let τ(q)=logd2(p)\tau(q)=-\log d^{2}(p). In an appropriate coordinates patch UjU_{j}, we have d2(q)(z0,z1)Q(z¯0,z¯1)td^{2}(q)\approx(z_{0},z_{1})Q(\bar{z}_{0},\bar{z}_{1})^{t} with QQ a positive definite Hermitian matrix depending on (z2,,zn)(z_{2},\cdots,z_{n}). So C\exists C independent of jj such that

1C(|z0|2+|z1|2)<d2(q)<C(|z0|2+|z1|2).\frac{1}{C}(|z_{0}|^{2}+|z_{1}|^{2})<d^{2}(q)<C(|z_{0}|^{2}+|z_{1}|^{2}).

So C1>0\exists C_{1}>0 such that

C1<τlog(|z0|2+|z1|2)<C1.-C_{1}<\tau-\log(|z_{0}|^{2}+|z_{1}|^{2})<C_{1}.

So when |z1||z0||z_{1}|\geq|z_{0}|, we have

C1<τσ<C1.-C^{\prime}_{1}<\tau-\sigma<C^{\prime}_{1}.

So the L2L_{2}-norm of s~t\tilde{s}_{t} over the region 𝒞\mathcal{C} where τ>32M\tau>\frac{3}{2}M satisfies

s~tKE,𝒞2>ck|log|t||2k+1,\parallel\tilde{s}_{t}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE},\mathcal{C}}>c_{k}\big{|}\log|t|\big{|}^{2k+1},

for some constant ckc_{k} depending on kk. We denote by s~tn=1s~tKE,𝒞s~t\tilde{s}_{tn}=\frac{1}{\parallel\tilde{s}_{t}\parallel_{\text{KE},\mathcal{C}}}\tilde{s}_{t}. Then by inequality 3.2 and equation 2.4, we get that the total L2L_{2}-norm defined by ωt\omega_{t} over the region j={σ|M<σ<3M or M<2yσ<3M}Uj\mathcal{M}_{j}=\{\sigma\big{|}M<\sigma<3M\text{ or }M<2y-\sigma<3M\}\subset U_{j} is <|log|t||k2<\big{|}\log|t|\big{|}^{\frac{k}{2}}. Let 𝒩α\mathcal{N}_{\alpha} denote the region q𝒳q\in\mathcal{X} satisfying 32M<τ(q)<52M\frac{3}{2}M<\tau(q)<\frac{5}{2}M. Then we have 𝒩αUjj\mathcal{N}_{\alpha}\cap U_{j}\subset\mathcal{M}_{j} for every jj. So we have

Proposition 3.4.

There exists c>0c>0 such that for |t||t| small enough, we have

𝒩αs~tnKE2ωtn<c|log|t||k\int_{\mathcal{N}_{\alpha}}\parallel\tilde{s}_{tn}\parallel^{2}_{\text{\text{KE}}}\omega_{t}^{n}<c\big{|}\log|t|\big{|}^{-k}

To not deal with the points not close to DαD_{\alpha}, we use Hörmander’s L2L^{2} estimates. The following lemma is well-known, see for example [14].

Lemma 3.5.

Suppose (M,g)(M,g) is a complete Kähler manifold of complex dimension nn, \mathcal{L} is a line bundle on MM with Hermitian metric hh. If

2πiΘh+Ric(g),vv¯gC|v|g2\langle-2\pi i\Theta_{h}+Ric(g),v\wedge\bar{v}\rangle_{g}\geq C|v|^{2}_{g}

for any tangent vector vv of type (1,0)(1,0) at any point of MM, where C>0C>0 is a constant and Θh\Theta_{h} is the curvature form of hh. Then for any smooth \mathcal{L}-valued (0,1)(0,1)-form α\alpha on MM with ¯α=0\bar{\partial}\alpha=0 and M|α|2𝑑Vg\int_{M}|\alpha|^{2}dV_{g} finite, there exists a smooth \mathcal{L}-valued function β\beta on MM such that ¯β=α\bar{\partial}\beta=\alpha and

M|β|2𝑑Vg1CM|α|2𝑑Vg\int_{M}|\beta|^{2}dV_{g}\leq\frac{1}{C}\int_{M}|\alpha|^{2}dV_{g}

where dVgdV_{g} is the volume form of gg and the norms are induced by hh and gg.

In our setting with (M,g)=(Xt,ωt)(M,g)=(X_{t},\omega_{t}) and the line bundle is kLkL, so for kk large, the assumption of the Lemma is satisfied.

We define a cut off function ϖ(η)\varpi(\eta) of one variable satsifying the following:

  • ϖ(η)=1\varpi(\eta)=1 for η52M\eta\geq\frac{5}{2}M;

  • ϖ(η)=0\varpi(\eta)=0 for η32M\eta\leq\frac{3}{2}M;

  • 0ϖ(η)<1/20\leq\varpi^{\prime}(\eta)<1/2.

Then we want to solve the equation

¯v=¯ϖ(τ)s~tn,\bar{\partial}v=\bar{\partial}\varpi(\tau)\otimes\tilde{s}_{tn},

on XtX_{t}. By theorem 1.1, one sees that on the region where M<σ<3MM<\sigma<3M on UjU_{j}, C1>0\exists C_{1}>0 such that

|¯ϖ(τ)|<C1|¯σ|.|\bar{\partial}\varpi(\tau)|<C_{1}|\bar{\partial}\sigma|.

So |¯ϖ(τ)|2<C2M2|\bar{\partial}\varpi(\tau)|^{2}<C_{2}M^{2} for some C2>0C_{2}>0. And similarly for the region where M<2yσ<3MM<2y-\sigma<3M. So we have

Xt¯ϖ(τ)s~tnKE2ωtn<cM|log|t||k,\int_{X_{t}}\parallel\bar{\partial}\varpi(\tau)\otimes\tilde{s}_{tn}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{t}^{n}<c_{M}\big{|}\log|t|\big{|}^{-k},

for some constant cMc_{M} depending only on MM. Therefore, we can find a solution vC(Xt,kL)v\in C^{\infty}(X_{t},kL) satisfying

XtvKE2ωtn<cM|log|t||k.\int_{X_{t}}\parallel v\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{t}^{n}<c_{M}\big{|}\log|t|\big{|}^{-k}.

And we get a new holomorphic pluri-canonical form ϖ(τ)s~tnv\triangleq\varpi(\tau)\tilde{s}_{tn}-v. Then we define

s~t,mods~tKE,𝒞(ϖ(τ)s~tnv).\tilde{s}_{t,\text{mod}}\triangleq\parallel\tilde{s}_{t}\parallel_{\text{KE},\mathcal{C}}(\varpi(\tau)\tilde{s}_{tn}-v).

If we replace y\sqrt{y} in equation 2.4 by y+c\sqrt{y}+c, similar estimate holds. So we also have

Proposition 3.6.
Xt,τ<ys~t,modKE2ωtn=O(|log|t||k+1)\int_{X_{t},\tau<\sqrt{y}}\parallel\tilde{s}_{t,\text{mod}}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{t}^{n}=O(\big{|}\log|t|\big{|}^{k+1})
Remark 3.7.

We should mention that till now, for simplicity, we have been using τ(d(q))\tau(d(q)) for the distance to DαD_{\alpha} for a fixed α\alpha. Later we will also use τ(d(q))\tau(d(q)) for the distance to DD. At that time, we will refer to the former one as τα\tau_{\alpha}.

Now we calculate s~tlKE,𝒞\parallel\tilde{s}_{t_{l}}\parallel_{\text{KE},\mathcal{C}} when {tl}\{t_{l}\} is a good sequence. And for simplicity, we shrink UjU_{j} so that log|z0|2>M-\log|z_{0}|^{2}>M and log|z1|2>M-\log|z_{1}|^{2}>M for zUjz\in U_{j}.

Since the image Pt(GK×(UiDα))P_{t}(G_{K}\times(U_{i}\cap D_{\alpha})), where K=[δ,1δ]K=[\delta,1-\delta], is {zUjXt|δlog|t|<log|z1|<(1δ)log|t|}\{z\in U_{j}\cap X_{t}\big{|}-\delta\log|t|<-\log|z_{1}|<-(1-\delta)\log|t|\}, and since

limδ0Mδlog|t|σ2k𝑑σM12log|t|σ2k𝑑σ=0,\lim_{\delta\to 0}\frac{\int_{M}^{-\delta\log|t|}\sigma^{2k}d\sigma}{\int_{M}^{-\frac{1}{2}\log|t|}\sigma^{2k}d\sigma}=0,

by symmetry, we have that

liml1(log|tl|)2k+1Ujs~tlKE2ωtn=UjDαs(p)𝒱2𝑑ν{tl},α,k.\lim_{l\to\infty}\frac{-1}{(\log|t_{l}|)^{2k+1}}\int_{U_{j}}\parallel\tilde{s}_{t_{l}}\parallel_{\text{KE}}^{2}\omega_{t}^{n}=\int_{U_{j}\cap D_{\alpha}}\parallel s(p)\parallel^{2}_{\mathcal{V}}d\nu_{\{t_{l}\},\alpha,k}.

The same holds for any sub-polydisc of UjU_{j}. Therefore, we get the following conclusion.

Proposition 3.8.

Let {tl}\{t_{l}\} be a good sequence. Let Nα,t={qXt|τ(q)>32M}N_{\alpha,t}=\{q\in X_{t}\big{|}\tau(q)>\frac{3}{2}M\} and let

s{tl},Dα\parallel s\parallel_{\{t_{l}\},D_{\alpha}}

denote the L2L_{2}-norm defined by 𝒱\mathcal{V} and dν{tl},α,kd\nu_{\{t_{l}\},\alpha,k}, namely,

s{tl},Dα2=Dαs(p)𝒱2𝑑ν{tl},α,k\parallel s\parallel_{\{t_{l}\},D_{\alpha}}^{2}=\int_{D_{\alpha}}\parallel s(p)\parallel^{2}_{\mathcal{V}}d\nu_{\{t_{l}\},\alpha,k}

for sH0(Dα,(k+1)L)s\in H^{0}(D_{\alpha},(k+1)L). Then we have

liml1(log|tl|)2k+1Nα,tls~tlKE2ωtn=s{tl},Dα2.\lim_{l\to\infty}\frac{-1}{(\log|t_{l}|)^{2k+1}}\int_{N_{\alpha,t_{l}}}\parallel\tilde{s}_{t_{l}}\parallel_{\text{KE}}^{2}\omega_{t}^{n}=\parallel s\parallel_{\{t_{l}\},D_{\alpha}}^{2}.

We normalize the left hand side of the formula by

t,KEN2=1(log|t|)2k+1XtKE2ωtn,\parallel\cdot\parallel^{2}_{t,\text{KEN}}=\frac{-1}{(\log|t|)^{2k+1}}\int_{X_{t}}\parallel\cdot\parallel_{\text{KE}}^{2}\omega_{t}^{n},

for sections in H0(Xt,(k+1)KXt)H_{0}(X_{t},(k+1)K_{X_{t}}). Then we have the following.

Corollary 3.9.

For sH0(Dα,(k+1)L)s\in H^{0}(D_{\alpha},(k+1)L) such that s{tl},Dα=1\parallel s\parallel_{\{t_{l}\},D_{\alpha}}=1, we have

limls~tl,modtl,KEN2=1.\lim_{l\to\infty}\parallel\tilde{s}_{t_{l},\text{mod}}\parallel^{2}_{t_{l},\text{KEN}}=1.

The corollary implies that the map ss~tl,mods\mapsto\tilde{s}_{t_{l},\text{mod}} from (H0(Dα,(k+1)L),{tl},Dα)(H^{0}(D_{\alpha},(k+1)L),\parallel\cdot\parallel_{\{t_{l}\},D_{\alpha}}) to (H0(Xtl,(k+1)KXtl),tl,KEN2)(H_{0}(X_{t_{l}},(k+1)K_{X_{t_{l}}}),\parallel\cdot\parallel^{2}_{t_{l},\text{KEN}}) are almost-isometric embeddings for ll large.

3.2. Outer sections

We denote by Si^=jiSjH0(𝒳,ji[X0,j])S_{\hat{i}}=\otimes_{j\neq i}S_{j}\in H^{0}(\mathcal{X},\sum_{j\neq i}[X_{0,j}]). For each si1𝒢0,i,k+1s^{i1}\in\mathcal{G}_{0,i,k+1},

ai=si1Si^H0(X0,i,(k+1)Lji[X0,j]).a_{i}=\frac{s^{i1}}{S_{\hat{i}}}\in H^{0}(X_{0,i},(k+1)L-\sum_{j\neq i}[X_{0,j}]).

Then let ai~\tilde{a_{i}} be the minimal extension to 𝒳\mathcal{X} of aia_{i}. Then we have a section ai~Si^\tilde{a_{i}}\otimes S_{\hat{i}} in H0(𝒳,(k+1)L)H^{0}(\mathcal{X},(k+1)L) whose restriction to X0X_{0} is si1s^{i1}. Then we denote by si1~tt,k+1\tilde{s^{i1}}_{t}\in\mathcal{H}_{t,k+1} the restriction of ai~Si^\tilde{a_{i}}\otimes S_{\hat{i}} to XtX_{t}.

Similarly, for each si20,i,k+1,2s^{i2}\in\mathcal{H}_{0,i,k+1,2},

bi=si2Si^2H0(X0,i,(k+1)L2ji[X0,j]).b_{i}=\frac{s^{i2}}{S^{\otimes 2}_{\hat{i}}}\in H^{0}(X_{0,i},(k+1)L-2\sum_{j\neq i}[X_{0,j}]).

Then let bi~\tilde{b_{i}} be the minimal extension to 𝒳\mathcal{X} of bib_{i}. Then we have a section bi~Si^2\tilde{b_{i}}\otimes S^{\otimes 2}_{\hat{i}} in H0(𝒳,(k+1)L)H^{0}(\mathcal{X},(k+1)L) whose restriction to X0X_{0} is si2s^{i2}. Then we denote by si2~tt,k+1\tilde{s^{i2}}_{t}\in\mathcal{H}_{t,k+1} the restriction of bi~Si^2\tilde{b_{i}}\otimes S^{\otimes 2}_{\hat{i}} to XtX_{t}.

Fix an orthonormal basis 0,i,1={sli1}\mathcal{B}_{0,i,1}=\{s^{i1}_{l}\} for 𝒢0,i,k+1\mathcal{G}_{0,i,k+1} and 0,i,2={sli2}\mathcal{B}_{0,i,2}=\{s^{i2}_{l}\} for 0,i,k+1,2\mathcal{H}_{0,i,k+1,2} for all ii. We get sections 1t,1={s~t,li1}\mathcal{B}_{1t,1}=\{\tilde{s}^{i1}_{t,l}\} and 1t,2={s~t,li2}\mathcal{B}_{1t,2}=\{\tilde{s}^{i2}_{t,l}\} in t,k+1\mathcal{H}_{t,k+1}. We then give these sections 1t=1t,11t,2\mathcal{B}_{1t}=\mathcal{B}_{1t,1}\cup\mathcal{B}_{1t,2} an arbitrary order. And we denote by 𝒬1t\mathcal{Q}_{1t} the Hermitian matrix defined by the inner products of these sections defined by ωt\omega_{t}. We now show that

limt0𝒬1t=I,\lim_{t\to 0}\mathcal{Q}_{1t}=I,

namely these sections are almost orthonormal.

For a fixed δ>0\delta>0, we denote by XtδX_{t}^{\delta} the points on XtX_{t} whose distance to DD is bigger than δ\delta. We can similarly define X0,iδX_{0,i}^{\delta}. Then when tt is small enough, for each point qq on XtδX_{t}^{\delta}, there is exactly one ii such that d(q,X0,i)=d(q,X0)d(q,X_{0,i})=d(q,X_{0}). So XtδX_{t}^{\delta} has mm connected components {Xtδ,i}1im\{X_{t}^{\delta,i}\}_{1\leq i\leq m}. We also arrange the ordering of the components so that Xtδ,iX_{t}^{\delta,i} is closest to X0,iX_{0,i}. The complement of XtδX_{t}^{\delta} in XtX_{t} also has connect components {Ctδ,α}αΛ\{C_{t}^{\delta,\alpha}\}_{\alpha\in\Lambda} satifying DαCtδ,αD_{\alpha}\subset C_{t}^{\delta,\alpha} for each αΛ\alpha\in\Lambda.

We fix δ\delta so that log|δ|2=M14M\log|\delta|^{2}=-M_{1}\leq-4M.

Then for each jij\neq i, on Xtδ,iX_{t}^{\delta,i}, we have

(3.4) s~t,lijKE2=O(|t|2j),j=1,2.\parallel\tilde{s}^{ij}_{t,l}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}=O(|t|^{2j}),\quad j=1,2.

When DαX0,iD_{\alpha}\subseteq X_{0,i}, let Dα=X0,iX0,qD_{\alpha}=X_{0,i}\cap X_{0,q}. Again, for simplicity, we can that i=1,q=2i=1,q=2As before, let UU be one neighborhood centered at pDαp\in D_{\alpha} with coordinates (z0,,zn)(z_{0},\cdots,z_{n}) and such that X0,1U={z|z0=0}X_{0,1}\cap U=\{z\big{|}z_{0}=0\}. Then s~li1=f(dz0dzn)(k+1)\tilde{s}^{i1}_{l}=f(dz_{0}\wedge\cdots\wedge dz_{n})^{\otimes(k+1)}. Then on XtX_{t}, as before, we can write f=f++ff=f_{+}+f_{-} with f+=q1aqz1qf_{+}=\sum_{q\geq 1}a_{q}z_{1}^{q} and f=q1aqz1qf_{-}=\sum_{q\leq-1}a_{q}z_{1}^{q}, where aq=aq(z2,,zn)a_{q}=a_{q}(z_{2},\cdots,z_{n}). And we define s~l±i1=f±(dz0dzn)(k+1)\tilde{s}^{i1}_{l\pm}=f_{\pm}(dz_{0}\wedge\cdots\wedge dz_{n})^{\otimes(k+1)} Then similar to formula 3.1, we have

(3.5) UCtδ,αs~t,li1KE2ωtn=O(|t|2),\int_{U\cap C_{t}^{\delta,\alpha}}\parallel\tilde{s}^{i1}_{t,l-}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{t}^{n}=O(|t|^{2}),

and

(3.6) UCtδ,αs~t,l+i1KE2ωtn\displaystyle\int_{U\cap C_{t}^{\delta,\alpha}}\parallel\tilde{s}^{i1}_{t,l+}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{t}^{n} \displaystyle\leq 2Xt{12M1<σ<M1}s~t,l+i1KE2ωtn\displaystyle 2\int_{X_{t}\cap\{\frac{1}{2}M_{1}<\sigma<M_{1}\}}\parallel\tilde{s}^{i1}_{t,l+}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{t}^{n}
(3.7) \displaystyle\leq 3X0,1{12M1<σ<M1}siKE2ω0n,\displaystyle 3\int_{X_{0,1}\cap\{\frac{1}{2}M_{1}<\sigma<M_{1}\}}\parallel s^{i}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{0}^{n},

where the last inequality holds for |t||t| small enough. And by lemma 3.3,

Xt{σ>y}s~t,l+i1KE2ωtn=O(ey)=O(|t|).\int_{X_{t}\cap\{\sigma>y\}}\parallel\tilde{s}^{i1}_{t,l+}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{t}^{n}=O(e^{-y})=O(|t|).

So

(3.8) Xt{σ>y}s~t,li1KE2ωtn=O(ey)=O(|t|).\int_{X_{t}\cap\{\sigma>y\}}\parallel\tilde{s}^{i1}_{t,l}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{t}^{n}=O(e^{-y})=O(|t|).

When DαX0,iD_{\alpha}\nsubseteq X_{0,i}, we can basically repeat this argument to get that

(3.9) UCtδ,αs~t,li1KE2ωtn=O(|t|2).\int_{U\cap C_{t}^{\delta,\alpha}}\parallel\tilde{s}^{i1}_{t,l}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{t}^{n}=O(|t|^{2}).

Then we can prove the following proposition.

Proposition 3.10.

When iji\neq j, we have

s~t,l1i1,s~t,l2j1KE,Xt=O(|t|),\langle\tilde{s}^{i1}_{t,l_{1}},\tilde{s}^{j1}_{t,l_{2}}\rangle_{\text{KE},X_{t}}=O(\sqrt{|t|}),

for any l1,l2l_{1},l_{2}.

Proof.

When X0,iX0,j=X_{0,i}\cap X_{0,j}=\emptyset, this follows directly from equations 3.4 and 3.9.

When X0,iX0,jX_{0,i}\cap X_{0,j}\neq\emptyset, then by equation 3.4, we only need to consider the components Ctδ,αC_{t}^{\delta,\alpha} where DαX0,iX0,jD_{\alpha}\subset X_{0,i}\cap X_{0,j}. Then in applying equation 3.8 to s~t,l2j1\tilde{s}^{j1}_{t,l_{2}}, the region

{σ<y}\{\sigma<y\}

becomes {σ<y}\{\sigma<y\}, which is in complement to each other. Then the proposition follows.

Similar arguments apply to sections of the form s~t,li2\tilde{s}^{i2}_{t,l}. Then one can similarly prove the following proposition.

Proposition 3.11.

When the vector (i1,j1)(i2,j2)(i_{1},j_{1})\neq(i_{2},j_{2}), we have

s~t,l1i1j1,s~t,l2i2j2KE,Xt=O(|t|),\langle\tilde{s}^{i_{1}j_{1}}_{t,l_{1}},\tilde{s}^{i_{2}j_{2}}_{t,l_{2}}\rangle_{KE,X_{t}}=O(\sqrt{|t|}),

for any l1,l2l_{1},l_{2}.

When i=ji=j, we have the following proposition.

Proposition 3.12.

For any ll, we have

limt0Xts~t,li1KE2ωtn=1.\lim_{t\to 0}\int_{X_{t}}\parallel\tilde{s}^{i1}_{t,l}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{t}^{n}=1.
Proof.

For any ε>0\varepsilon>0, δ\exists\delta so that

X0,i{q|d2(q,D)<δ}siKE2ω0n<12ε.\int_{X_{0,i}\cap\{q\big{|}d^{2}(q,D)<\delta\}}\parallel s^{i}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{0}^{n}<\frac{1}{2}\varepsilon.

Then by inequality 3.7, we have

Xt\Xtδ,is~t,li1KE2ωtn<ε,\int_{X_{t}\backslash X_{t}^{\delta,i}}\parallel\tilde{s}^{i1}_{t,l}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{t}^{n}<\varepsilon,

for |t||t| small enough. Then by theorem 1.1, we have

|Xtδ,is~t,li1KE2ωtnX0,i\{q|d2(q,D)<δ}siKE2ω0n|<ε,\big{|}\int_{X_{t}^{\delta,i}}\parallel\tilde{s}^{i1}_{t,l}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{t}^{n}-\int_{X_{0,i}\backslash\{q\big{|}d^{2}(q,D)<\delta\}}\parallel s^{i}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{0}^{n}\big{|}<\varepsilon,

for |t||t| small enough. It is not hard to see that the estimates can be made uniform for sections sis^{i} of unit norm, so the proposition follows. ∎

One can then apply similar arguments to sections of the form s~t,li2\tilde{s}^{i2}_{t,l} to get similar proposition.

Proposition 3.13.

For any ll, we have

limt0Xts~t,li2KE2ωtn=1.\lim_{t\to 0}\int_{X_{t}}\parallel\tilde{s}^{i2}_{t,l}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{t}^{n}=1.

Then the mutual orthogonality between the sections follows. So we have proved the following.

Theorem 3.14.

We have

limt0𝒬1t=I.\lim_{t\to 0}\mathcal{Q}_{1t}=I.

Let {tu}u=1\{t_{u}\}_{u=1}^{\infty} be a good sequence. Following corollary 3.9, for each α\alpha, we pick an orthonormal basis α={slα}\mathcal{B}^{\alpha}=\{s^{\alpha}_{l}\} of (H0(Dα,(k+1)L),{tu},Dα)(H^{0}(D_{\alpha},(k+1)L),\parallel\cdot\parallel_{\{t_{u}\},D_{\alpha}}). And we denote by

slαtu(log|tu|)2k+12(slα~)tu,mod.{}^{t_{u}}s^{\alpha}_{l}\triangleq(-\log|t_{u}|)^{-\frac{2k+1}{2}}(\widetilde{s^{\alpha}_{l}})_{t_{u},\text{mod}}.

And we have a set of sections

2tu={tuslα}α,l.\mathcal{B}_{2t_{u}}=\{^{t_{u}}s^{\alpha}_{l}\}_{\alpha,l}.

We fix an order on Λ\Lambda, and then order 2tu\mathcal{B}_{2t_{u}} according to the tuple (α,l)(\alpha,l) in dictionary order.

Then by corollary 3.9, we have

limutusl1α,tusl2αKE=δl2l1,\lim_{u\to\infty}\langle^{t_{u}}s^{\alpha}_{l_{1}},^{t_{u}}s^{\alpha}_{l_{2}}\rangle_{\text{KE}}=\delta^{l_{1}}_{l_{2}},

where δl2l1\delta^{l_{1}}_{l_{2}} is the Kronecker symbol. And by proposition 3.6, we have that for αβ\alpha\neq\beta,

limutusl1α,tusl2βKE=0,\lim_{u\to\infty}\langle^{t_{u}}s^{\alpha}_{l_{1}},^{t_{u}}s^{\beta}_{l_{2}}\rangle_{\text{KE}}=0,

for any l1,l2l_{1},l_{2}. So the corresponding Hermitian matrix 𝒬2tu\mathcal{Q}_{2t_{u}} satisfies

limu𝒬2tu=I.\lim_{u\to\infty}\mathcal{Q}_{2t_{u}}=I.

Similar to equation 3.8, we have

Xt{σ>y}s~t,li1KE2ωtn=O(ey).\int_{X_{t}\cap\{\sigma>\sqrt{y}\}}\parallel\tilde{s}^{i1}_{t,l}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{t}^{n}=O(e^{-\sqrt{y}}).

Then by proposition 3.6, we have that

limutuslα,sKE,Xt=0,\lim_{u\to\infty}\langle^{t_{u}}s^{\alpha}_{l},s\rangle_{\text{KE},X_{t}}=0,

for any s1tus\in\mathcal{B}_{1t_{u}} and for any ll. Then since #1tu+#2tu=dimtu,k+1\#\mathcal{B}_{1t_{u}}+\#\mathcal{B}_{2t_{u}}=\dim\mathcal{H}_{t_{u},k+1}, one sees that 1tu2tu\mathcal{B}_{1t_{u}}\cup\mathcal{B}_{2t_{u}} form a basis for tu,k+1\mathcal{H}_{t_{u},k+1} which is almost orthonormal.

4. Bergman embeddings

We order the basis 0,i=0,i,20,i,1\mathcal{B}_{0,i}=\mathcal{B}_{0,i,2}\cup\mathcal{B}_{0,i,1} of 0,i,k+1\mathcal{H}_{0,i,k+1} from 0,i,2\mathcal{B}_{0,i,2} to 0,i,1\mathcal{B}_{0,i,1}, namely elements of 0,i,2\mathcal{B}_{0,i,2} goes before elements in 0,i,1\mathcal{B}_{0,i,1}. Then this defines a Kodaira embedding Φ0,i,k+1:X0,ink+1,i1\Phi_{0,i,k+1}:X_{0,i}\to\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{n_{k+1,i}-1}. Also we use α\mathcal{B}^{\alpha} to define a Kodaira embedding Ψk+1α:Dαdα,k+11\Psi^{\alpha}_{k+1}:D_{\alpha}\to\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{d_{\alpha,k+1}-1}. Then we order 0=i0,i\mathcal{B}_{0}=\cup_{i}\mathcal{B}_{0,i} according to the order of {i}\{i\}.

We can then order 1tu\mathcal{B}_{1t_{u}} according to the order of 0\mathcal{B}_{0}. Define Ψtu,k+1:XtuNk+11\Psi_{t_{u},k+1}:X_{t_{u}}\to\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{N_{k+1}-1} by the basis 1tu2tu\mathcal{B}_{1t_{u}}\cup\mathcal{B}_{2t_{u}} ordered from 1tu\mathcal{B}_{1t_{u}} to 2tu\mathcal{B}_{2t_{u}}. We also define the linear embedding

A0,i:nk+1,i1Nk+11,A_{0,i}:\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{n_{k+1,i}-1}\to\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{N_{k+1}-1},

considering the index set of 0,i\mathcal{B}_{0,i} as a subset of the index set of 1tu2tu\mathcal{B}_{1t_{u}}\cup\mathcal{B}_{2t_{u}}. And similarly we define

Aα:dα,k+11Nk+11A_{\alpha}:\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{d_{\alpha,k+1}-1}\to\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{N_{k+1}-1}

For simplicity, we will use Φ0,i,k+1\Phi_{0,i,k+1} in place of A0,iΦ0,i,k+1A_{0,i}\circ\Phi_{0,i,k+1}, and Ψk+1α\Psi^{\alpha}_{k+1} in place of AαΨk+1αA_{\alpha}\circ\Psi^{\alpha}_{k+1}.

Denote by ρt,k+1\rho_{t,k+1} the Bergman kernel function of (Xt,(k+1)L,ωt)(X_{t},(k+1)L,\omega_{t}). For any fixed δ>0\delta>0, by theorem 3.14, there exists positive lower bound for ρt,k+1\rho_{t,k+1} on XtδX_{t}^{\delta}. Then by proposition 3.6, the norms of elements in 2tu\mathcal{B}_{2t_{u}} goes to 0 on XtuδX_{t_{u}}^{\delta} as uu\to\infty. Therefore, we have

limuΨt,k+1(Xtuδ,i)=Φ0,i,k+1(X0,iδ),\lim_{u\to\infty}\Psi_{t,k+1}(X_{t_{u}}^{\delta,i})=\Phi_{0,i,k+1}(X_{0,i}^{\delta}),

for each ii.

We consider the points most close to DD. Let UU be an appropriate coordinates patch centered at pDα=X0,1X0,2p\in D_{\alpha}=X_{0,1}\cap X_{0,2}. Then d2(q,X0,1)a0|z0|2d^{2}(q,X_{0,1})\approx a_{0}|z_{0}|^{2} and d2(q,X0,2)a1|z1|2d^{2}(q,X_{0,2})\approx a_{1}|z_{1}|^{2} for some a0>0,a1>0a_{0}>0,a_{1}>0 when |z0|2+|z1|2|z_{0}|^{2}+|z_{1}|^{2} is small. So C>0\exists C>0 such that when |z0z1|>C|\frac{z_{0}}{z_{1}}|>C, the point q=(z0,,zn)q=(z_{0},\cdots,z_{n}) satisfies d(q,X0,1)=d(q,X0)d(q,X_{0,1})=d(q,X_{0}). Since |z0z1|=|t||z_{0}z_{1}|=|t|, |z0z1|=|z02t||\frac{z_{0}}{z_{1}}|=|\frac{z_{0}^{2}}{t}|. C1\exists C_{1} such that x+1x>C1x+\frac{1}{x}>C_{1} implies x>Cx>C or 1x>C\frac{1}{x}>C. So when |z0|2+|z1|2>C1|t||z_{0}|^{2}+|z_{1}|^{2}>C_{1}|t|, we have |z0z1|>C|\frac{z_{0}}{z_{1}}|>C or |z1z0|>C|\frac{z_{1}}{z_{0}}|>C. So C2>0\exists C_{2}>0 such that XtC2|t|=iXtC2|t|,iX_{t}^{C_{2}\sqrt{|t|}}=\cup_{i}X_{t}^{C_{2}\sqrt{|t|},i} has mm components. And we can order these components as for iXtδ,i\cup_{i}X_{t}^{\delta,i} for fixed small δ\delta. Then the complement Xt\XtC2|t|X_{t}\backslash X_{t}^{C_{2}\sqrt{|t|}} also decomposes to connected components αΛCtC2|t|,α\cup_{\alpha\in\Lambda}C_{t}^{C_{2}\sqrt{|t|},\alpha}.

Let ρ{tu},α,k+1\rho_{\{t_{u}\},\alpha,k+1} denote the Bergman kernel of (Dα,(k+1)L,𝒱,dν{tu},α,k+1)(D_{\alpha},(k+1)L,\mathcal{V},d\nu_{\{t_{u}\},\alpha,k+1}), then clearly C3\exists C_{3}, possibly depending on (𝒱,dν{tu},α,k+1)(\mathcal{V},d\nu_{\{t_{u}\},\alpha,k+1}), such that ρ{tu},α,k+1>C3\rho_{\{t_{u}\},\alpha,k+1}>C_{3}. If we denote by ζ{tu},α,k+1(q)\zeta_{\{t_{u}\},\alpha,k+1}(q) the sum

ltuslαKE2.\sum_{l}\parallel^{t_{u}}s^{\alpha}_{l}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}.

Then on CtC2|tu|,αC_{t}^{C_{2}\sqrt{|t_{u}|},\alpha}, we have

(4.1) ζ{tu},α,k+1(q)>C4|log|tu||,\zeta_{\{t_{u}\},\alpha,k+1}(q)>C_{4}\big{|}\log|t_{u}|\big{|},

for some C4>0C_{4}>0. On the other hand, if S=s~tu,li1S=\tilde{s}^{i1}_{t_{u},l} for some i,li,l, then on CtC2|tu|,αC_{t}^{C_{2}\sqrt{|t_{u}|},\alpha}, we have

SKE2=O(|tu|(log|tu|)2k+2).\parallel S\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}=O(|t_{u}|(\log|t_{u}|)^{2k+2}).

This can be seen as follows. When DαX0,iD_{\alpha}\subset X_{0,i}, namely DαX0,iX0,jD_{\alpha}X_{0,i}\cap X_{0,j} for some jj, then by the construction of s~tu,li1\tilde{s}^{i1}_{t_{u},l},

SSi^h<C5,\parallel\frac{S}{S_{\hat{i}}}\parallel_{h}<C_{5},

for some C5>0C_{5}>0 independent of tt. So use the coordinates as before, SS can be represented by z1f(z)z_{1}f(z). Then |z1|2=O(|t|)|z_{1}|^{2}=O(|t|) on CtC2|t|,αC_{t}^{C_{2}\sqrt{|t|},\alpha}, and the conclusion follows. The case when DαX0,iD_{\alpha}\nsubseteq X_{0,i} is similar.

Similarly, if S=s~tu,li2S=\tilde{s}^{i2}_{t_{u},l} for some i,li,l, then on CtC2|t|,αC_{t}^{C_{2}\sqrt{|t|},\alpha}, we also have

SKE2=O(|t|2(log|t|)2k+2).\parallel S\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}=O(|t|^{2}(\log|t|)^{2k+2}).

Therefore we have the following proposition.

Proposition 4.1.

We have

limuΨtu,k+1(CtuC2|tu|,α)=Ψk+1α(Dα),\lim_{u\to\infty}\Psi_{t_{u},k+1}(C_{t_{u}}^{C_{2}\sqrt{|t_{u}|},\alpha})=\Psi^{\alpha}_{k+1}(D_{\alpha}),

for each α\alpha.

And we denote by ρt,i,1,k+1\rho_{t,i,1,k+1} the sum

ls~t,li1KE2.\sum_{l}\parallel\tilde{s}^{i1}_{t,l}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}.

Then similarly, on the region

Tt,iXt12|log|t||k,i\Xt2|log|t||k,i,T_{t,i}\triangleq X_{t}^{\frac{1}{2}\big{|}\log|t|\big{|}^{-k},i}\backslash X_{t}^{2\big{|}\log|t|\big{|}^{-k},i},

we have

ρt,i,k+1>C6|log|t||2kat2k+2,\rho_{t,i,k+1}>C_{6}\big{|}\log|t|\big{|}^{-2k}a_{t}^{2k+2},

where at=log|log|t||a_{t}=\log\big{|}\log|t|\big{|}, for some C6>0C_{6}>0. And for any s11t,2s_{1}\in\mathcal{B}_{1t,2} and s22ts_{2}\in\mathcal{B}_{2t}, we have

s1KE2=O(|log|t||4kat2k+2),\parallel s_{1}\parallel_{\text{KE}}^{2}=O(\big{|}\log|t|\big{|}^{-4k}a_{t}^{2k+2}),

and

s2KE2=O(|log|t||2k1at2k+2),\parallel s_{2}\parallel_{\text{KE}}^{2}=O(\big{|}\log|t|\big{|}^{-2k-1}a_{t}^{2k+2}),

on Tt,iT_{t,i}. Consequently, one sees that the sections in B2tuB_{2t_{u}} has negligible influence on the part Xtu2|log|tu||k,iX_{t_{u}}^{2\big{|}\log|{t_{u}}|\big{|}^{-k},i} and that the sections in 1tu,2\mathcal{B}_{1{t_{u}},2} has negligible influence on the part XtuC2|tu|,i\Xtu2|log|tu||k,iX_{t_{u}}^{C_{2}\sqrt{|{t_{u}}|},i}\backslash X_{t_{u}}^{2\big{|}\log|{t_{u}}|\big{|}^{-k},i}.

If we denote by

T0,i,tX0,i12|log|t||k\X0,i2|log|t||k,T_{0,i,t}\triangleq X_{0,i}^{\frac{1}{2}\big{|}\log|t|\big{|}^{-k}}\backslash X_{0,i}^{2\big{|}\log|t|\big{|}^{-k}},

then clearly

limt0Φ0,i,k+1(T0,i,t)=Φ0,i,k+1(Di).\lim_{t\to 0}\Phi_{0,i,k+1}(T_{0,i,t})=\Phi_{0,i,k+1}(D^{i}).

Therefore, we have

limuΨtu,k+1(Ttu,i)=Φ0,i,k+1(Di).\lim_{u\to\infty}\Psi_{t_{u},k+1}(T_{t_{u},i})=\Phi_{0,i,k+1}(D^{i}).

And we also have

limuΨtu,k+1(Xtu2|log|tu||k,i)=Φ0,i,k+1(X0,i).\lim_{u\to\infty}\Psi_{t_{u},k+1}(X_{t_{u}}^{2\big{|}\log|{t_{u}}|\big{|}^{-k},i})=\Phi_{0,i,k+1}(X_{0,i}).

This left us with the parts XtuC2|tu|,i\Xtu2|log|tu||k,iX_{t_{u}}^{C_{2}\sqrt{|{t_{u}}|},i}\backslash X_{t_{u}}^{2\big{|}\log|{t_{u}}|\big{|}^{-k},i}.

Back to an appropriate coordinates patch UU centered at a point pDαX0,ip\in D_{\alpha}\subset X_{0,i} such that X0,i={z0=0}X_{0,i}=\{z_{0}=0\}. By a unitary transformation, we can assume that in the standard frame (dz0dzn)(k+1)(dz_{0}\wedge\cdots\wedge dz_{n})^{\otimes(k+1)}, s1α(p)0s^{\alpha}_{1}(p)\neq 0 while slα(p)=0s^{\alpha}_{l}(p)=0 for l>1l>1. Let EpE_{p} be the (z0,z1)(z_{0},z_{1})-plane passing through pp, namely the points qq such that zj(q)=zj(p)z_{j}(q)=z_{j}(p) for j2j\geq 2. Recall that in the construction of slαtu{}^{t_{u}}s^{\alpha}_{l}, we need to substract a solution vlv_{l} (the index ll is added for distinction) to a certain ¯\bar{\partial}-equation. Since vlv_{l} is holomorphic around DαD_{\alpha}, it is represented by a holomorphic function f(z)=a0+i>0aiz1i+i<0aiz1if(z)=a_{0}+\sum_{i>0}a_{i}z_{1}^{i}+\sum_{i<0}a_{i}z_{1}^{i}. Then we can use arguments similar to those for equation 3.3 to get from the L2L_{2} estimate

XtvlKE2ωtn<cM|log|t||k\int_{X_{t}}\parallel v_{l}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}\omega_{t}^{n}<c_{M}\big{|}\log|t|\big{|}^{-k}

that on p,tu\mathcal{L}_{p,t_{u}}, where p,tu\mathcal{L}_{p,t_{u}} is the intersection of (XtuC2|tu|,i\Xtu2|log|tu||k,i)(X_{t_{u}}^{C_{2}\sqrt{|{t_{u}}|},i}\backslash X_{t_{u}}^{2\big{|}\log|{t_{u}}|\big{|}^{-k},i}) with EpE_{p}, the point wise norm vlKE2\parallel v_{l}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}} is negligible compared to s1αtuKE2+ρtu,i,1,k+1\parallel{{}^{t_{u}}s^{\alpha}_{1}}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}+\rho_{t_{u},i,1,k+1}, namely the quotient goes to 0 as uu\to\infty. A different way to see this is by noticing that tu=1tu2tu\mathcal{B}_{t_{u}}=\mathcal{B}_{1t_{u}}\cup\mathcal{B}_{2t_{u}} is an almost orthonormal basis for tu,k+1\mathcal{H}_{t_{u},k+1}, which implies that small L2L_{2}-norm means small pointwise norm compared to the almost-Bergman kernel:

stusKE2.\sum_{s\in\mathcal{B}_{t_{u}}}\parallel s\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}.

So the holomorphic function of s1αtu{}^{t_{u}}s^{\alpha}_{1} can be considered as a non-zero constant on p,tu\mathcal{L}_{p,t_{u}}. Similarly, on p,tu\mathcal{L}_{p,t_{u}}, the point wise norm s~tu,lj1KE2\parallel\tilde{s}^{j1}_{t_{u},l}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}} for jij\neq i is negligible compared to s1αtuKE2+ρtu,i,1,k+1\parallel{{}^{t_{u}}s^{\alpha}_{1}}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}+\rho_{t_{u},i,1,k+1}.

Then we can apply an unitary transformation to make s~tu,1i1Si^(p)0\frac{\tilde{s}^{i1}_{t_{u},1}}{S_{\hat{i}}}(p)\neq 0 while s~tu,li1Si^(p)=0\frac{\tilde{s}^{i1}_{t_{u},l}}{S_{\hat{i}}}(p)=0 for l>1l>1. Then similarly we have s~tu,li1KE2\parallel\tilde{s}^{i1}_{t_{u},l}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}} for l>1l>1 is negligible compared to s1αtuKE2+ρtu,i,1,k+1\parallel{{}^{t_{u}}s^{\alpha}_{1}}\parallel^{2}_{\text{KE}}+\rho_{t_{u},i,1,k+1} on p,tu\mathcal{L}_{p,t_{u}}. So now on p,tu\mathcal{L}_{p,t_{u}}, we only need to look at two sections s1αtu{}^{t_{u}}s^{\alpha}_{1} and s~tu,1i1\tilde{s}^{i1}_{t_{u},1}, where the local holomorphic function of the latter can be written as a1z1f(z)a_{1}z_{1}f(z), where f(z)f(z) is a holomorphic function that converges to the local holomorphic representation of stu,1i1Si^\frac{{s}^{i1}_{t_{u},1}}{S_{\hat{i}}} on X0,iUX_{0,i}\cap U.

Then it is clear that the images Ψtu,k+1(p,tu)\Psi_{t_{u},k+1}(\mathcal{L}_{p,t_{u}}), as uu\to\infty, converges to the linear 1\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{1}-line connecting Ψk+1α(p)\Psi_{k+1}^{\alpha}(p) to Φ0,i,k+1(p)\Phi_{0,i,k+1}(p). Therefore, the image of

XtuC2|tu|,i\Xtu2|log|tu||k,iX_{t_{u}}^{C_{2}\sqrt{|{t_{u}}|},i}\backslash X_{t_{u}}^{2\big{|}\log|{t_{u}}|\big{|}^{-k},i}

satisfies the description of the components Yα,1Y_{\alpha,1} and Yα,2Y_{\alpha,2} in the statement of the main theorem. Therefore we have proved the theorem except that the basis tu=1tu2tu\mathcal{B}_{t_{u}}=\mathcal{B}_{1t_{u}}\cup\mathcal{B}_{2t_{u}} of tu,k+1\mathcal{H}_{t_{u},k+1} is not orthonormal. We then only need to apply a Gram-Schmidt process to produce a genuine orthonormal basis tu\mathcal{B}_{t_{u}}^{\prime}. Then since the inner product matrix of tu\mathcal{B}_{t_{u}} converges to the identity, one sees that sequence of images of the Bergman embeddings Φtu,k+1\Phi_{t_{u},k+1} induced by tu\mathcal{B}_{t_{u}}^{\prime} converges to the same as the limit for Ψtu,k+1\Psi_{t_{u},k+1}. And we have proved the main theorem.

Embedding of normal bundle

Let π:AM\pi:A\to M be a line bundle over a connected compact complex manifold. Let A^=AM\hat{A}=A\cup M_{\infty} be the projective completion of the total space AA. Let LL be a positive line bundle over YY. Denote by π:A^M\pi_{\infty}:\hat{A}\to M_{\infty} the projection and by LL on A^\hat{A} the pull-back π1(L)\pi^{-1}(L). And we use MA^M\subset\hat{A} to denote the zero section of AA. We fix a section SMH0(A^,[M])S_{M}\in H^{0}(\hat{A},[M]). Then we have exact sequence

0H0(A^,kL+[M][M])H0(A^,kL+[M])H0(M,kL+[M]),0\to H^{0}(\hat{A},kL+[M_{\infty}]-[M])\to H^{0}(\hat{A},kL+[M_{\infty}])\to H^{0}(M,kL+[M_{\infty}]),

where the first non-zero morphism is given by ssSMs\mapsto s\otimes S_{M}. Since kL+[M][M]kL+[M_{\infty}]-[M] is isomorphic to π((kL+[M][M])|M)\pi_{\infty}^{*}((kL+[M_{\infty}]-[M])\big{|}_{M_{\infty}}), we have

H0(A^,kL+[M][M])H0(M,kL+[M][M])H0(M,kL+[M]).H^{0}(\hat{A},kL+[M_{\infty}]-[M])\simeq H^{0}(M_{\infty},kL+[M_{\infty}]-[M])\simeq H^{0}(M_{\infty},kL+[M_{\infty}]).

And since Hi(1,𝒪)=0H^{i}(\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{1},\mathcal{O})=0, for i>1i>1, we have vanishing higher direct images Riπ(kL+[M][M])=0R^{i}\pi_{*}(kL+[M_{\infty}]-[M])=0 for i>0i>0. And since π(kL+[M][M])kL+[M][M]\pi_{*}(kL+[M_{\infty}]-[M])\simeq kL+[M_{\infty}]-[M], we have H1(A^,kL+[M][M])H1(M,kL+[M][M])H^{1}(\hat{A},kL+[M_{\infty}]-[M])\simeq H^{1}(M_{\infty},kL+[M_{\infty}]-[M]). Therefore, for kk large enough, we have exact sequence

0H0(M,kL+[M])H0(A^,kL+[M])H0(M,kL+[M])0.0\to H^{0}(M_{\infty},kL+[M_{\infty}])\to H^{0}(\hat{A},kL+[M_{\infty}])\to H^{0}(M,kL+[M_{\infty}])\to 0.

We have identifications I=π|M:MMI_{\infty}=\pi_{\infty}\big{|}_{M}:M\to M_{\infty},

H0(M,kL+[M])H0(M,kLA)H^{0}(M_{\infty},kL+[M_{\infty}])\simeq H^{0}(M_{\infty},kL-A)

and H0(M,kL+[M])H0(M,kL).H^{0}(M,kL+[M_{\infty}])\simeq H^{0}(M,kL). So for kk large enough, a basis of H0(A^,kL+[M])H^{0}(\hat{A},kL+[M_{\infty}]) defines a Kodaira embedding ϕk:A^H0(A^,kL+[M])\phi_{k}:\hat{A}\to{\mathbb{P}}H^{0}(\hat{A},kL+[M_{\infty}]). And one sees that the image ϕk(A^)\phi_{k}(\hat{A}) can be described as the union of linear 1\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{1}’s each of which connects ϕk,0(p)\phi_{k,0}(p) to ϕk,(p)\phi_{k,\infty}(p) for some pYp\to Y, where ϕk,0\phi_{k,0} is the restriction of ϕ\phi to YY and ϕk,\phi_{k,\infty} is the composition ϕkI\phi_{k}\circ I_{\infty}.

Let π1:Nα,1Dα\pi_{1}:N_{\alpha,1}\to D_{\alpha} be the normal bundle of DαD_{\alpha} in X0,iX_{0,i}. Let N^α,1=Nα,1Dα\hat{N}_{\alpha,1}=N_{\alpha,1}\cup D_{\alpha}^{\infty} be the projective completion. Then it is clear that Yα,1Y_{\alpha,1} in the statement of the main theorem is the image of N^α,1\hat{N}_{\alpha,1} defined by a basis of H0(N^α,1,kπ11L+[Dα])H^{0}(\hat{N}_{\alpha,1},k\pi_{1}^{-1}L+[D_{\alpha}^{\infty}]).

Proof of theorem 1.4..

Let {tu}\{t_{u}\} be a good sequence. Let ρα,{tu},k+1\rho_{{\alpha,\{t_{u}\}},k+1} denote the Bergman kernel of

(H0(Dα,(k+1)L),𝒱,dν{tl},α,k).(H^{0}(D_{\alpha},(k+1)L),\mathcal{V},d\nu_{\{t_{l}\},\alpha,k}).

Then in an appropriate coordinates patch UU, by theorem 2.6, proposition 3.8 and by our previous arguments, the Bergman kernel ρtu,k+1\rho_{t_{u},k+1} at a point {|z0|=|z1|}Xtu\{|z_{0}|=|z_{1}|\}\cup X_{t_{u}} is close to

ρα,{tu},k+1|log|t||(2k+1)+(2k+2).\rho_{{\alpha,\{t_{u}\}},k+1}\big{|}\log|t|\big{|}^{-(2k+1)+(2k+2)}.

Since DαD_{\alpha} is compact, logρα,{tu},k+1\log\rho_{{\alpha,\{t_{u}\}},k+1} is bounded. Then one can argue by contradiction. For the lower bound, assume that there is a sequence al0a_{l}\to 0 such that

limlλu(al,k)|log|al||=0.\lim_{l\to\infty}\frac{\lambda_{u}(a_{l},k)}{\big{|}\log|a_{l}|\big{|}}=0.

Then a subsequence {tu}\{t_{u}\} is a good sequence. Then we get that logρα,{tu},k+1\log\rho_{{\alpha,\{t_{u}\}},k+1} is not bounded below, a contradiction. The arguments for the upper bound is similar. Then the λu\lambda_{u} part of the theorem follows.

For the λl\lambda_{l} part, one just needs to estimate ρtu,k+1\rho_{t_{u},k+1} on the points where |z1|2=|log|tu||2k1|z_{1}|^{2}=\big{|}\log|t_{u}|\big{|}^{-2k-1} on an appropriate patch UU. In fact, as in the proof of theorem 1.2, this is reduced to the computation on the set p,tu\mathcal{L}_{p,t_{u}}. Then it is clear that on the points where |z1|2=|log|tu||2k1|z_{1}|^{2}=\big{|}\log|t_{u}|\big{|}^{-2k-1}, we have

ρtu,k+1=O(|log|tu||2k1atu2k+2).\rho_{t_{u},k+1}=O(\big{|}\log|t_{u}|\big{|}^{-2k-1}a_{t_{u}}^{2k+2}).

So we have proved theorem 1.4.

Notice that equation 4.1 is not the same as what claimed the comments after theorem 1.4, but one can apply an argument by contradiction again to get that ρt,k>C1|log|t||\rho_{t,k}>C_{1}\big{|}\log|t|\big{|} if d(p,D)<C2|t|d(p,D)<C_{2}\sqrt{|t|}. ∎

Proof of the claim that for kk large enough, π𝒪(kL)\pi_{*}\mathcal{O}(kL) is locally free on BB.

It suffices to show that any sH0(X0,kL)s\in H^{0}(X_{0},kL) can be extended to 𝒳\mathcal{X}. We have the following exact sequence:

0H0(X0,kLD)H0(X0,kL)H0(D,kL)0,0\to H^{0}(X_{0},kL-D)\to H^{0}(X_{0},kL)\to H^{0}(D,kL)\to 0,

where the inclusion is given by sssDs\mapsto s\otimes s_{D} for sH0(X0,kLD)s\in H^{0}(X_{0},kL-D). Given sH0(X0,kL)s\in H^{0}(X_{0},kL), we denote by s2s_{2} the image of ss in H0(D,kL)H^{0}(D,kL). Then for kk large enough, we know that s2s_{2} can be extended to a section s~2\tilde{s}_{2} in H0(𝒳,kL)H^{0}(\mathcal{X},kL). Then let s1=ss~2H0(X0,kL)s_{1}=s-\tilde{s}_{2}\in H^{0}(X_{0},kL). For each ii, s1|X0,is_{1}|_{X_{0,i}} can be extended to s~1,iH0(𝒳,kL)\tilde{s}_{1,i}\in H^{0}(\mathcal{X},kL). Then s~1s~1,i\tilde{s}_{1}\triangleq\sum\tilde{s}_{1,i} is an extension of s1s_{1}. Then s~1+s~2H0(𝒳,kL)\tilde{s}_{1}+\tilde{s}_{2}\in H^{0}(\mathcal{X},kL) is an extension of ss. ∎
