Establishes geodesic stability for Kähler metrics, proving existence of constant scalar curvature.

Suppose $(X,ω)$ is a compact Kähler manifold. We introduce and explore the metric geometry of the $L^{p,q}$-Calabi Finsler structure on the space of Kähler metrics $\mathcal H$. After noticing that the $L^{p,q}$-Calabi and $L^{p'}$-Mabuchi path length topologies on $\mathcal H$ do not typically dominate each other, we …

Study small eigenvalues of Toeplitz operators and their relation to Mabuchi geodesics.

Let $Ω$ be a strongly pseudoconvex domain. We introduce the Mabuchi space of strongly plurisubharmonic functions in $Ω$. We study metric properties of this space using Mabuchi geodesics and establish regularity properties of the latter, especially in the ball. As an application we study the existence of local Kähler-Ei…

Study of generalized Kähler structures on complex manifolds using symplectic and Riemannian geometry.

We introduce a class of almost homogeneous varieties contained in the class of spherical varieties and containing horospherical varieties as well as complete symmetric varieties. We develop K{ä}hler geometry on these varieties, with applications to canonical metrics in mind, as a generalization of the Guillemin-Abreu-D…

The paper proves Mabuchi solitons and constants on Fano admissible manifolds.

We construct a path integral based on the coupling of the Liouville action and the Mabuchi K-energy on a one-dimensional complex manifold. To the best of our knowledge this is the first rigorous construction of such an object and this is done by means of probabilistic tools. Both functionals play an important role resp…

Paper proves existence of weighted constant scalar curvature metrics.

In this paper, we study Mabuchi metrics on Fano manifolds. We prove that Mabuchi metrics exist if the modified Ding functional is proper modulo a reductive subgroup of its automorphism group. On the other hand, the inverse that Mabuchi metrics implies the properness is obtained by using Darvas-Rubinstein's properness p…

Mabuchi's metric correlates with a specific stability condition for Fano manifolds.

Study on Mabuchi functional's convexity using ε-geodesics.

Fano varieties get Mabuchi solitons if they have extremal Kähler metrics.

The purpose of this paper is to generalize the convexity of Mabuchi's functional to the conic setting. We first established a frame to study conic cscK metrics, and then the conic Mabuchi functional was introduced in such a way that conic cscK metrics are its critical points. Finally we proved the convexity of the coni…

We introduce different Finsler metrics on the space of smooth Kähler potentials that will induce a natural geometry on various finite energy classes $\mathcal E_{\tilde χ}(X,ω)$. Motivated by questions raised by R. Berman, V. Guedj and Y. Rubinstein, we characterize the underlying topology of these spaces in terms of c…

We prove sharp inequalities for determinants of Toeplitz operators and twisted Laplace operators on the two-sphere, generalizing the Moser-Trudinger-Onofri inequality. In particular a sharp version of conjectures of Gillet-Soule and Fang motivated by Arakelov geometry is obtained; applications to SU(2)-invariant determ…

Study proves convergence of quantized geodesics to Mabuchi geodesics.

We characterize the global maximizers of a certain non-local functional defined on the space of all positively curved metrics on an ample line bundle L over a Kahler manifold X. This functional is an adjoint version, introduced by Berndtsson, of Donaldson's L-functional and generalizes the Ding-Tian functional whose cr…

Article establishes criteria for multiplier Hermitian-Einstein metrics on KSM-manifolds.

Let X be a smooth, linearly normal algebraic variety. It is shown that the Mabuchi energy of X restricted to the Bergman metrics is completely determined by the X-hyperdiscriminant of format (n-1) and the Chow form of X. As a corollary it is shown that the Mabuchi energy is bounded from below for all degenerations in G…

We show that a projective manifold is stable if and only if the Mabuchi energy is proper on the space of algebraic metrics. We show that stability implies finite automorphism group.

Consider a polarized complex manifold (X,L) and a ray of positive metrics on L defined by a positive metric on a test configuration for (X,L). For most of the common functionals in Kähler geometry, we prove that the slope at infinity along the ray is given by evaluating the non-Archimedean version of the functional (as…

We give a criterion for the coercivity of the Mabuchi functional for general Kähler classes on Fano manifolds in terms of Tian's alpha invariant. This generalises a result of Tian in the anti-canonical case implying the existence of a Kähler-Einstein metric. We also prove the alpha invariant is a continuous function on…

This paper connects soliton-type metrics with weighted CSCK metrics on Fano manifolds.

We are analysing the convexity and continuity properties of the Mabuchi functional along weak geodesics. The key technical point in our paper is the global approximation of weak geodesics obtained via a well-chosen family of Monge-Ampère equations.

Derives formulas for Monge-Ampère measures and reduces complex conjectures to simpler existence problems.

An explicit seminorm $||f||_{#}$ on the vector space of Chow vectors of projective varieties is introduced, and shown to be a generalized Mabuchi energy functional for Chow varieties. The singularities of the Chow varieties give rise to currents supported on their singular loci, while the regular parts are shown to rep…

In the previous papers \cite{L1, L2} the author constructed Mabuchi and Aubin-Yau functionals over any complex surfaces and three-folds, respectively. Using the method in \cite{L2}, we construct those functionals over any complex manifolds of the complex dimension bigger than or equal to 2.

The paper proves the existence of singular cscK metrics on smoothable varieties.

In this note we construct Mabuchi $\mathcal{L}^{\rm M}_ω$ functional and Aubin-Yau functionals $\mathcal{I}^{\rm AY}_ω, \mathcal{J}^{\rm AY}_ω$ on any compact complex surfaces, and establish a number of properties. Our construction coincides with the original one in the Kähler case.

Study shows no global symmetries for Kähler metrics on compact manifolds.

We prove existence, uniqueness and convergence of solutions of the degenerate J-flow on Kahler surfaces. As an application, we establish the properness of the Mabuchi energy for Kahler classes in a certain subcone of the Kahler cone on minimal surfaces of general type.

Donaldson conjectured \cite{Dona96} that the space of Kähler metrics is geodesic convex by smooth geodesic and that it is a metric space. Following Donaldson's program, we verify the second part of Donaldson's conjecture completely and verify his first part partially. We also prove that the constant scalar curvature me…

Negative curvature proven in Sasaki manifold space completion.

Study Mabuchi rays on toric Kähler manifolds to understand quantization.

The J-flow is a parabolic flow on Kahler manifolds. It was defined by Donaldson in the setting of moment maps and by Chen as the gradient flow of the J-functional appearing in his formula for the Mabuchi energy. It is shown here that under a certain condition on the initial data, the J-flow converges to a critical metr…

Uniqueness of weighted extremal metrics on Kähler manifolds proven.

For $φ$ a metric on the anticanonical bundle, $-K_X$, of a Fano manifold $X$ we consider the volume of $X$ $\int_X e^{-φ}.$ We prove that the logarithm of the volume is concave along bounded geodesics in the space of positively curved metrics on $-K_X$ and that the concavity is strict unless the geodesic comes from…

We study the convergence of the Kähler-Ricci flow on a Fano manifold under some stability conditions. More precisely we assume that the first eingenvalue of the $\bar\partial$-operator acting on vector fields is uniformly bounded along the flow, and in addition the Mabuchi energy decays at most logarithmically. We then…
