Abstract

Given a smooth polarized Riemann surface (XL) endowed with a hyperbolic metric \(\omega \) that has standard cusp singularities along a divisor D, we show the \(L^2\) projective embedding of (XD) defined by \(L^k\) is asymptotically almost balanced in a weighted sense. The proof depends on sufficiently precise understanding of the behavior of the Bergman kernel in three regions, with the most crucial one being the neck region around D. This is the first step towards understanding the algebro-geometric stability of extremal Kähler metrics with singularities.

Notes

  1. Indeed one can show the error term is \(\varepsilon (k)\) since \(\omega \) has constant curvature, see for example [13].
