The paper extends pluripotential theory for complex Monge–Ampère equations to families of hermitian, possibly singular spaces, and proves uniform a priori estimates for Chern–Ricci flat metrics. It develops local and global L^∞ bounds, uniform Skoda integrability, and a robust volume-capacity framework that persists under degeneration, under a sup–L^1 type assumption and canonical-singularity hypotheses. These tools yield uniform control of MA potentials and normalization constants across conifold-type transitions and Calabi–Yau families, enabling the construction and comparison of Chern–Ricci flat metrics in degenerate settings. The results illuminate the behavior of singular Calabi–Yau metrics in moduli and smoothing families, with implications for non-Kähler Calabi–Yau geometry and conifold transitions.
Abstract
We prove uniform a priori estimates for degenerate complex Monge-Ampère equations on a family of hermitian varieties. This generalizes a theorem of Di Nezza-Guedj-Guenancia to hermitian contexts. The main result can be applied to study the uniform boundedness of Chern-Ricci flat potentials in conifold transitions.
