A proof of Demailly's strong openness conjecture (Q499089)

Let \(X\) be a complex manifold and \(\varphi\) be a plurisubharmonic (PSH) function on \(X\). The multiplier ideal sheaf of \(\varphi\) is defined as the subsheaf \({\mathcal I}(\varphi)\) of \({\mathcal O}_X\) consisting of all germs of holomorphic functions \(f\in {\mathcal O}_x\) such that \(|f|^2e^{-\varphi}\) is locally integrable near \(x\in X\). The authors prove the Strong Openness Conjecture: \({\mathcal I}(\varphi)=\cup_{\varepsilon>0}{\mathcal I}((1+\varepsilon)\varphi)\). It was first conjectured by \textit{J.-P. Demailly} [in: School on vanishing theorems and effective results in algebraic geometry. Lecture notes of the school held in Trieste, Italy, 2000. Trieste: The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics. 1--148 (2001; Zbl 1102.14300)]. Actually, the authors prove even a stronger result from which the conjecture follows: Let \(\Delta\) denote the unit disc in \(\mathbb C\), let \(\varphi\) be a PSH function on \(\Delta^n\subset {\mathbb C}^n\), and let \(\varphi_0\not\equiv -\infty\) be a PSH function on \(\Delta^n\). Then \({\mathcal I}(\varphi)=\cup_{\varepsilon>0} {\mathcal I}(\varphi+\varepsilon\varphi_0)\). A weaker version, called the openness conjecture, where it is assumed that \({\mathcal I}(\varphi)={\mathcal O}_X\), was proved by \textit{C. Favre} and \textit{M. Jonsson} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 18, No. 3, 655--684 (2005; Zbl 1075.14001)] for the two-dimensional case and by \textit{B. Berndtsson} in [``The openness conjecture for PSH functions'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1305.5781}] for the general case.
