Mumford-goodness conjecture for higher direct-image metrics
Mumford-goodness conjecture for higher direct-image metrics
Let be the birational modification in a semistable reduction, let be the induced family, let be the pulled-back coefficient bundle, and let be the -metric on the higher direct image . A Hermitian metric is good in the sense of Mumford if it has Mumford’s prescribed growth behavior near the boundary. Mumford-goodness conjecture. For any , the Hermitian metric on should be good in the sense of Mumford. The proposition immediately preceding this statement proves goodness for the determinant metric and, under reducedness and canonical-singularity hypotheses, for the original family; the conjecture asks for the corresponding assertion for every higher direct image after pullback.
