Let (X,ω) be a compact complex Hermitian manifold, and let T⩾γ be a d-closed (1,1) almost positive current on X. A variant of Demailly''s regularization-of-currents theorem states that T is the weak limit of a sequence of (1,1)-currents Tm with analytic singularities of coefficient 1/m, lying in the same cohomology class as T, whose Lelong numbers converge to those of T, and with a loss of positivity decaying to zero. We prove that if the (1,1)-form γ is assumed to be closed and C∞, the regularizing currents Tm can be chosen such that Tm⩾γ−C/m for a constant C>0 independent of m. To cite this article: D.
