Abstract: Probability measures with either finite Monge-Amp`ere energy or finite entropy have played a central role in recent developments in K"ahler geometry. In this note we make a systematic study of quasi-plurisubharmonic potentials whose Monge-Amp`ere measures have finite entropy. We show that these potentials belong to the finite energy class mathcalEfracnn−1, where n denotes the complex dimension, and provide examples showing that this critical exponent is sharp. Our proof relies on refined Moser-Trudinger inequalities for quasi-plurisubharmonic functions.


The authors show that the solutions to the degenerate complex Monge-Ampère equation, with the right hand side being a probability measure having bounded entropy, belong to a certain finite energy space. More exactly, let \((X, \omega)\) be a Kähler manifold with volume one and complex dimension \(n\). The authors shows in Theorem A that the solutions \(\phi\) to the equation \[ \omega_\phi^n := (\omega + dd^c \phi)^n = f \omega^n, \] where the probability measure \(f \omega^n\) is assumed to have finite entropy \[ \int_{X} f \log f \omega^n, \] belong to the finite energy class \(\mathcal{E}^p_\omega\) for \(p = \frac{n}{n-1}\) and \(n>1\). The latter space consists of those elements of \(\mathrm{PSH}(X,\omega)\) which satisfy \[ E_p(\phi):=\int_X |\phi|^p \omega_\phi^n < \infty. \] What is more, it is shown that the bound on \(p\) is optimal in Theorem A. On the road for this result the authors provide another interesting result, Theorem B, which is known as the complex Moser-Trudinger inequality. Namely, for the normalized elements \(\phi\) of \(\mathcal{E}^p_\omega\) the inequality \[ \int_X e^{(\mathrm{const} |E_p(\phi)|^{- \frac 1 n}|\phi|^{1+\frac p n})}\omega^n < \mathrm{const} \] is shown to hold.
