An energy estimate for the complex Monge-Ampère operator (Q4359149)

The authors prove the following ``energy estimate'' for the complex Monge-Ampère operator: Theorem: Let \(\Omega\) be a domain in \(\mathbb{C}^n\), \(n\geq 2\). Assume that \(u,v\in PSH \cap L^\infty (\Omega)\) with \(\lim_{z \to\xi} u(z)= \lim_{z\to\xi} v(z)=0\) \(\forall \xi \in \partial \Omega\). If \(p\geq 1\), \(0\leq j\leq n\), then \[ \begin{multlined} \int(-u)^p (dd^cu)^j \wedge (dd^c v)^{n-j} \leq\\ \leq D_{p,j} \Bigl(\int(-u)^p (dd^cu)^n \Bigr)^{(p+j)/(n+p)} \Bigl(\int(-v)^p (dd^c v)^n \Bigr)^{(n-j)/(n+p)} \end{multlined} \] where \(D_{p,j} =p^{(p+j) (n-j)/(p-1)}\) for \(P>1\) and \(D_{p, j} =\exp(1+j) (n-j)\) for \(p=1\). They derive therefrom a useful comparison theorem.
