Abstract

Let L be a big invertible sheaf on a projective variety defined on a complete valued field (such as the field \({\mathbb{C}}\) of complex numbers or a complete non-archimedean field), equipped with two continuous metrics. By using the ideas in Arakelov geometry, we prove that the distribution of the eigenvalues of the transition matrix between the L 2 norms on H 0(X,nL) with respect to the two metriques converges (in law) as n goes to infinity to a Borel probability measure on \({\mathbb{R}}\). This result can be thought of as a generalization of the existence of the energy at the equilibrium as a limit, or an extension of Berndtsson’s results to the more general context of graded linear series and a more general class of line bundles.
