Admissible Hermitian metrics on families of line bundles over certain degenerating Riemann surfaces. (Q5937860): Difference between revisions

The main result of the paper are necessary and sufficient conditions for a family of line bundles of degree 0 over a plumbing family of Riemann surfaces to admit a nice/(almost nice) family of flat \(p\)-singular Hermitian metrics. As a consequence, there are given necessary and sufficient conditions for a family of line bundles over a plumbing family of Riemann surfaces to admit a nice/(almost nice) family of Hermitian metrics which are admissible with respect to the hyperbolic (resp. canonical) (1,1)-forms on the Riemann surfaces. The authors construct a family of `almost flat' Hermitian metrics using the flat Hermitian metric on the line bundle over the noded fiber. It is modified to a flat family by using the hyperbolic Green operators. This approach depends crucially on the initially constructed family of metrics being sufficiently close to a flat one. There are small but subtle differences in the construction and estimates involved in the two cases of a non-separating/separating node, and the authors treat the two cases separately.
