On a constant in the energy estimate (Q1677876)

Let \(\Omega\) be a \(m\)-hyperconvex bounded domain in \(\mathbb{C}^n\) and denote by \({\mathcal E}_{0,m}(\Omega)\) the set of all bounded \(m\)-subharmonic functions \(u\) defined on \(\Omega\) such that \(\displaystyle\lim_{z\rightarrow \partial\Omega}u(z) = 0\) and \(H_m(u)<+\infty\), where \(\beta=dd^c |z|^2\) is the standard Kähler form in \(\mathbb{C}^n\) and \(H_m(.) = (dd^c(.))^m\wedge \beta^{n-m}\) is the \(m\)-complex Hessian operator. For each \(p>0\), let \({\mathcal E}_{p,m}(\Omega)\) be the class of all negative \(m\)-subharmonic functions \(u\) such that there exists a decreasing sequence \(\{u_j\}_j\subset{\mathcal E}_{0,m}(\Omega)\) such that \((i)\) \(\displaystyle\lim_{j\rightarrow +\infty}u_j = u\), \((ii)\) \(\displaystyle\sup_j\int_\Omega(-u_j)^pH_m(u_j)= \sup_j e_{p,m}(u_j)<+\infty\). It was proved by the second author [Ann. Pol. Math. 118, No. 1, 25--49 (2016; Zbl 1367.32025)] that, for \(u_0, u_1,\dots, u_m\in{\mathcal E}_{p,m}(\Omega)\), there exists a constant \(D(p,m)\geq 1\) depending only on \(p\) and \(m\) such that \[ \int_\Omega(-u_0)^pdd^cu_1\wedge\cdots\wedge dd^cu_m\wedge\beta^{n-m}\leq D(p,m)e_{p,m}(u_0)^{\frac{p}{p+m}}e_{p,m}(u_1)^{\frac{1}{p+m}}\cdots e_{p,m}(u_m)^{\frac{1}{p+m}}. \] The main goal of this note is to prove that there are functions in \({\mathcal E}_{p,m}(\mathbb{B})\), where \(\mathbb{B}\) is the unit ball in \(\mathbb{C}^n\), such that the constant \(D(p,m)\) is strictly bigger than \(1\).
