Abstract: The complex Monge-Amp`ere operator has been defined for locally bounded plurisubharmonic functions by Bedford-Taylor in the 80's. This definition has been extended to compact complex manifolds, and to various classes of mildly unbounded quasi-plurisubharmonic functions by various authors. As this operator is not continuous for the L1-topology, several stronger topologies have been introduced over the last decades to remedy this, while maintaining efficient compactness criteria. The purpose of this note is to show that these stronger topologies are essentially equivalent to the natural quasi-monotone topology that we introduce and study here.


The authors introduce the notion of ``quasi-monotone convergence for a sequence of quasi-psh functions on a compact Kähler manifold using plurisubharmonic envelopes. The idea is as follows. Let \((X,\omega)\) be a compact Kähler manifold, and \((\varphi_j)_j\) be a sequence of \(\omega\)-psh functions converging in \(L^1\) to an \(\omega\)-psh function \(\varphi\). We know that \(\inf_{l \ge j} \varphi_l\) is a function which might not be \(\omega\)-psh. Hence one considers the envelope \(P_\omega(\inf_{l \ge j} \varphi_l)\) which forms an increasing sequence of \(\omega\)-psh functions (when the envelope is well-defined). This sequence increases to a function which is smaller or equal to \(\varphi\) in general. In the paper under review, \(\varphi_j\) is said to quasi-monotone converge to \(\varphi\) if \(P_\omega(\inf_{l \ge j} \varphi_l)\) increases to \(\varphi\). It is shown in the paper that this new notion is stronger than convergence in capacity. Comparisons to other known notions of convergence are also done.
