Abstract

Let (X,ω0)(X,\omega_0) be a compact K\"ahler manifold, and let UXU\Subset X have C3,1C^{3,1} uniformly strongly pseudoconvex boundary. For the equilibrium envelope u0u_0 associated with XUX\setminus U, the normalized Monge--Amp\`ere measure vanishes on UU and equals the background measure V1ω0nV^{-1}\omega_0^n on XUX\setminus\overline U; its remaining component is a singular measure supported on U\partial U, where V=Xω0nV=\int_X\omega_0^n. We identify this boundary component as the negative outward Anzellotti trace of a divergence-measure flux current. We then prove a one-sided Hadamard formula for the normalized Monge--Amp\`ere energy along the outward parallel family Uε={ρ<ε}U_\varepsilon=\{\rho<\varepsilon\}. The nonlinear telescoping identity gives the mixed Bedford--Taylor boundary traces that sum up to the trace of the current Jtot=1Vdcu0p=0n1(p+1)ωu0pω0n1p,ωu0=ω0+ddcu0. \mathcal J_{\mathrm{tot}} =\frac1V\mathrm{d}^c u_0\wedge\sum_{p=0}^{n-1}(p+1)\omega_{u_0}^p\wedge\omega_0^{n-1-p}, \qquad \omega_{u_0}=\omega_0+\mathrm{d}\mathrm{d}^c u_0. These results provide a local weak formulation of boundary flux and normal variation for regular interface problems related to Darcy/Hele--Shaw type problems and Monge--Amp\`ere growth.
