In this paper, we compute the Tian-Zhu invariant on hypersurfaces of complex projective spaces.

Counterexample disproves conjectures about log canonical thresholds.

The paper studies invariant weighted Bergman metrics on domains.

Sharpness of Tian's K-stability criterion demonstrated through specific examples.

The global holomorphic α-invariant introduced by Tian is closely related with the study in the existence of Kahler-Einstein metric. We apply the result of Tian, Lu and Zelditch on polarized Kahler metrics to approximate plurisubharmonic functions and compute the α-invariant of toric Fano manifolds.

This paper constructs and studies the Gromov-Witten invariants and their properties for noncompact geometrically bounded symplectic manifolds. Two localization formulas for GW-invariants are also proposed and proved. As applications we get solutions of the generalized string equation and dilation equation and their var…

In this paper, we apply the Tian-Yau-Zelditch expansion of the Bergman kernel on polarized Kähler metrics to approximate plurisubharmonic functions and compute the $α$-invariant of $CP^2#2\bar{CP^2}$, which is exactly 1/3. In addition we prove Tian's conjecture on the generalized Moser-Trudinger inequality in a special…

We study Tian's $α$-invariant in comparison with the $α_1$-invariant for pairs $(S_d,H)$ consisting of a smooth surface $S_d$ of degree $d$ in the projective three-dimensional space and a hyperplane section $H$. A conjecture of Tian asserts that $α(S_d,H)=α_1(S_d,H)$. We show that this is indeed true for $d=4$ (the res…

Continuity of delta invariant leads to uniform Kähler-Einstein metrics.

Proves existence of Kähler-Einstein metrics in big cohomology classes.

Uniform proof of Kähler-Einstein metrics with arbitrary polarizations.

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…

In this paper, we generalize Chen-Tian energy functionals to Kähler-Ricci solitons and prove that the properness of these functionals is equivalent to the existence of Kähler-Ricci solitons. We also discuss the equivalence of the lower boundedness of these functionals and their relation with Tian-Zhu's holomorphic inva…

We classify smooth del Pezzo surfaces whose alpha-invariant of Tian is bigger than one.

Study convexity of Mabuchi functional in big cohomology classes.

Extends results on Futaki invariant for Kaehler metrics on algebraic manifolds.

We provide a sufficient condition for polarisations of Fano varieties to be K-stable in terms of Tian's alpha invariant, which uses the log canonical threshold to measure singularities of divisors in the linear system associated to the polarisation. This generalises a result of Odaka-Sano in the anti-canonically polari…

In this paper, we study the limiting properties of the $K$ energy for smooth hypersurfaces in the projective spaces. Our result generalizes the result of Ding-Tian (W. Ding and G. Tian. Kähler-Einstein metrics and the generalized Futaki invariant. {\em Invent Math}, 110:315-335, 1992.) in the case of hypersurfaces. In …

We study del Pezzo surfaces that are quasismooth and well-formed weighted hypersurfaces. In particular, we find all such surfaces whose alpha-invariant of Tian is greater than 2/3.

Study proves Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture for generalized Kähler-Ricci solitons.

We study exceptional quotient singularities. In particular, we prove an exceptionality criterion in terms of the $α$-invariant of Tian, and utilize it to classify four-dimensional and five-dimensional exceptional quotient singularities.

In this paper, the Bando-Futaki invariants on hypersurfaces are derived in terms of the degree of the defining polynomials, the dimension of the underlying projective space, and the given holomorphic vector field. In addition, the holomorphic invariant introduced by Tian and Chen (Ricci Flow on Kähler-Einstein surfaces…

We show that the exterior powers of the matrix valued random walk invariant of string links, introduced by Lin, Tian, and Wang, are isomorphic to the graded components of the tangle functor associated to the Alexander Polynomial by Ohtsuki divided by the zero graded invariant of the functor. Several resulting propertie…

Paper proves Hamilton-Tian conjecture using partial C0-estimate.

We show that any $n$-dimensional Fano manifold $X$ with $α(X)=n/(n+1)$ and $n\geq 2$ is K-stable, where $α(X)$ is the alpha invariant of $X$ introduced by Tian. In particular, any such $X$ admits Kähler-Einstein metrics and the holomorphic automorphism group of $X$ is finite.

We prove that on Fano manifolds, the Kähler-Ricci flow produces a "most destabilising" degeneration, with respect to a new stability notion related to the H-functional. This answers questions of Chen-Sun-Wang and He. We give two applications of this result. Firstly, we give a purely algebro-geometric formula for the su…

We give a new formula for the energy functionals E_k defined by Chen-Tian, and discuss the relations between these functionals. We also apply our formula to give a new proof of the fact that the holomorphic invariants corresponding to the E_k functionals are equal to the Futaki invariant.

Blowups of Kähler manifolds with extremal metrics inherit such metrics under stability conditions.

For a complex projective manifold Gromov-Witten invariants can be constructed either algebraically or symplectically. Using the versions of Gromov-Witten theory by Behrend and Fantechi on the algebraic side and by the author on the symplectic side, we prove that both points of view give the same results. A similar stat…

Solves Tian's stabilization problem for toric Fano manifolds.

The interpretation, due to T. Mabuchi, of the classical Futaki invariant of Fano toric manifolds is extended to the case of the Generalized Futaki invariant, introduced by W. Ding and G. Tian, of almost Fano toric varieties. As an application it is shown that the real part of the Generalized Futaki invariant is positiv…

We prove the conjecture of Tian on the strong form of the Moser-Trudinger inequality for Kahler-Einstein manifolds with positive first Chern class, when there are no holomorphic vector fields, and, more generally, when the setting is invariant under a maximal compact subgroup of the automorphism group.

For every smooth del Pezzo surface $S$, smooth curve $C\in|-K_{S}|$ and $β\in(0,1]$, we compute the $α$-invariant of Tian $α(S,(1-β)C)$ and prove the existence of Kähler--Einstein metrics on $S$ with edge singularities along $C$ of angle $2πβ$ for $β$ in certain interval. In particular we give lower bounds for the inva…

In this note, using the recent compactness results of Tian and Chen-Donaldson-Sun, we prove the K-semistable version of Yau-Tian-Donaldson correspondence for Fano manifolds.

The Streets-Tian conjecture is confirmed for specific types of Hermitian manifolds.

New CR-structures lemma simplifies CR-manifold deformation proof.

The paper solves a uniform Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture for toric manifolds.

In this paper, we show that the α_{m,2}-invariant of a smooth cubic surface with Eckardt points is strictly bigger than 2/3. This can be used to simplify Tian's original proof of the existence of Kaehler-Einstein metrics on such manifolds. We also sketch the computations on cubic surfaces with one ordinary double point…

It is known that a necessary condition for the existence of Kähler-Ricci solitons is the vanishing of the modified Futaki invariant introduced by Tian-Zhu. In a recent work of Berman-Nyström, it was generalized for (singular) Fano varieties and the notion of algebro-geometric stability of the pair $(M,V)$ of a Fano man…

We propose an algebraic geometric stability criterion for a polarised variety to admit an extremal Kaehler metric. This generalises conjectures by Yau, Tian and Donaldson which relate to the case of Kaehler-Einstein and constant scalar curvature metrics. We give a result in geometric invariant theory that motivates thi…

Proves Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture for toric manifolds and bundles.

In this paper the Gromov-Witten invariants on a class of noncompact symplectic manifolds are defined by combining Ruan-Tian's method with that of McDuff-Salamon. The main point of the arguments is to introduce a method dealing with the transversality problems in the case of noncompact manifolds. Moreover, the technique…

Paper confirms Hamilton-Tian conjecture for specific Sasakian manifolds.

We extend Nadel's results on some conditions for the multiplier ideal sheaves to satisfy which are described in terms of an obstruction defined by the first author. Applying our extension we can determine the multiplier ideal sheaves on toric del Pezzo surfaces which do not admit Kähler-Einstein metrics. We also show t…

This an announcement for the generalized asymptotic expansion of Tian-Yau-Zeldtich.

We prove a graph theoretic closed formula for coefficients in the Tian-Yau-Zelditch asymptotic expansion of the Bergman kernel. The formula is expressed in terms of the characteristic polynomial of the directed graphs representing Weyl invariants. The proof relies on a combinatorial interpretation of a recursive formul…

Tian's theorem applies to Moishezon spaces with singular metrics.
