Hybrid convergence of K\"ahler-Einstein measures

Abstract

We compute the hybrid limit (in the sense of Boucksom-Jonsson) of the family of K\"ahler-Einstein volume forms on a degeneration of canonically polarized manifolds. The limit measure is a weighted sum of Dirac masses at divisorial valuations, determined by the natural algebro-geometric limit of the family. We also make some remarks on the non-archimedean Monge-Amp\`ere operator and hybrid continuity of K\"ahler-Einstein potentials in this context.
