Injectivity theorems for higher direct images under proper Kähler morphisms on snc spaces

Abstract

Let $X$ be a complex manifold, and let $Y$ and $D$ be two reduced simple-normal-crossing (snc) divisors on $X$ with no common irreducible components. Given a proper locally Kähler morphism $\ddot{I}€:X\to \hat{I}”$ from $X$ to a complex analytic space $\hat{I}”$, we prove Fujino's conjecture on the injectivity theorem in the relative setting in a generalized form. Specifically, we establish an injectivity result for the higher direct images under $\ddot{I}€$ for the lc pairs $(X,D)$ as well as $(Y,D_Y)$, where $D_Y:=D\cap Y$. As an application, this result immediately implies the injectivity theorem on holomorphically convex Kähler manifolds with reduced snc divisors. The main technique in the proof consists of the theory of harmonic integrals together with residue formulae associated with adjoint ideal sheaves, which are developed from our previous work for the absolute case (where $\hat{I}”$ is a point and $X$ is compact). Additionally, we make use of the Takegoshi harmonic forms to deal with the non-compactness of $X$.
