Log truncated threshold and zero mass conjecture

Abstract

For plurisubharmonic functions $\varphi$ and $\psi$ lying in the Cegrell class of $\mathbb{B}^n$ and $\mathbb{B}^m$ respectively such that the Lelong number of $\varphi$ at the origin vanishes, we show that the mass of the origin with respect to the measure $(dd^c\max\{\varphi(z), \psi(Az)\})^n$ on $\mathbb{C}^n$ is zero for $A\in \mbox{Hom}(\mathbb{C}^n,\mathbb{C}^m)=\mathbb{C}^{nm}$ outside a pluripolar set. For a plurisubharmonic function $\varphi$ near the origin in $\mathbb{C}^n$, we introduce a new concept coined the log truncated threshold of $\varphi$ at $0$ which reflects a singular property of $\varphi$ via a log function near the origin (denoted by $lt(\varphi,0)$) and derive an optimal estimate of the residual Monge-Amp\`ere mass of $\varphi$ at $0$ in terms of its higher order Lelong numbers $\nu_j(\varphi)$ at $0$ for $1\leq j\leq n-1$, in the case that $lt(\varphi,0)<\infty$. These results provide a new approach to the zero mass conjecture of Guedj and Rashkovskii, and unify and strengthen well-known results about this conjecture.
