Heights on toric varieties for singular metrics: Local theory

Algebraic Geometry 2026-01-21 v1 Number Theory

Abstract

We show that the (toric) local height of a toric variety with respect to a semipositive torus-invariant singular metric is given by the integral of a concave function over a compact convex set. This generalizes a result of Burgos, Philippon, and Sombra for the case of continuous metrics and answers a question raised by Burgos, Kramer, and K\"uhn in 2016.
