Tropical and non-Archimedean limits of degenerating families of volume forms (Q2011978)

The authors study the asymptotic behavior of volume forms on a degenerating family of compact complex manifolds. Under rather general conditions, they show that the volume forms converge in a natural sense to a Lebesgue-type measure on a certain simplicial complex. In this way they obtain a measure-theoretic version of a conjecture by \textit{M. Kontsevich} and \textit{Y. Soibelman} [Prog. Math. 244, 321--385 (2006; Zbl 1114.14027)] and \textit{M. Gross} and \textit{P. M. H. Wilson} [J. Differ. Geom. 55, No. 3, 475--546 (2000; Zbl 1027.32021)], bearing on maximal degenerations of Calabi-Yau manifolds.
