The continuity of $\chi$-volume functions over adelic curves

Abstract

In the setting of Arakelov geometry over adelic curves, we introduce the $\chi$-volume function and show some general properties. This article is dedicated to talk about the continuity of $\chi$-volume function. By discussing its relationship with volume function, we prove its continuity around adelic $\mathbb{Q}$-ample $\mathbb{Q}$-Cartier divisors and its continuity in the trivially valued case. The study of the variation of arithmetic Okounkov bodies leads us to its continuous extension on arithmetic surfaces.
