This is the main new thing. The authors remove the restriction on the size of the unbounded loci and claim the formula holds more generally as long as the non-pluripolar product is defined. It is a legitimate extension of the earlier result rather than a completely new approach. The paper does well at identifying a gap in the existing literature and addressing it directly. In the context of pluripotential theory, having this formula available without extra assumptions on the potentials makes it easier to apply in a wider range of situations on Kähler manifolds. The soft spots are that the abstract gives almost no information about the proof method or how the singularities are controlled in the general case. This leaves some uncertainty about the technical details until the full argument is examined. The stress-test note suggests there is no obvious problem with the statement of the result itself, which is reassuring. There is no sign of circular reasoning or reliance on unstated assumptions beyond the standard setup of compact Kähler manifolds and the definition of the non-pluripolar product. This paper is for specialists in complex geometry who work with pluripotential theory and need these kinds of integration formulas. A reader who is already up to speed on BEGZ10 will see the value right away, while others might find it too narrow. It deserves a serious referee because the claim is a clear and useful generalization, and the field can benefit from having the details checked.","headline":"The paper extends the integration by parts formula for non-pluripolar products to general potentials on compact Kähler manifolds.","tokens_in":2013,"tokens_out":387,"would_cite":false,"duration_ms":19660,"reading_group":"maybe","serious_thinker":"yes","would_accept_peer_review":true},"rs_alignment":{"model":"grok-4.3","evidence":[{"relation":"unclear","rs_module":"IndisputableMonolith/Foundation/RealityFromDistinction.lean","rs_theorem":null,"paper_passage":"We prove the integration by parts formula for the non-pluripolar product on a compact Kähler manifold.
