Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to study certain notions of metric positivity called “minimal extension property” for the lowest nonzero piece in the Hodge filtration of a Hodge module. Let X be a complex manifold and let \(\mathcal {M}\) be a polarized pure Hodge module on X with strict support X. Let \(F_p\mathcal {M}\) be the smallest nonzero piece in the Hodge filtration. Assume that \(\mathcal {M}\) is smooth outside a closed analytic subset Z and let \(j:X\setminus Z \hookrightarrow X\) be the open embedding. Let h be the smooth hermitian metric on \(F_p\mathcal {M}|_{X\setminus Z}\) induced by the polarization. We show that the canonical morphism of \(\mathcal {O}_X\)-modules
induces an isomorphism between \(F_p\mathcal {M}\) and the subsheaf of \(j_{*}(F_p\mathcal {M}|_{X\setminus Z})\) consisting of sections which are locally \(L^2\) near Z with respect to h and the standard Lebesgue measure on X. In particular, h extends to a singular hermitian metric on \(F_p\mathcal {M}\) with minimal extension property.
