In this paper, we give a result on the properness of the K-energy, which answers a question of Song-Weinkove in any dimensions. Moreover, we extend our previous result on the properness of K-energy to the case of modified K-energy associated to extremal Kahler metrics.

Smooth minimizers of K-energy are cscK metrics in cohomologous Kähler classes.

Paper extends Calabi's extremal metric existence to compact Kähler manifolds.

In this paper, we prove the equivalence of the existence of extremal Kahler metrics and the properness of the modified K energy on projective bundles. Moreover, we discuss the relations of the lower boundedness of the K energy, the infimum of the Calabi energy and the extremal polynomials. In particular, we give an exa…

Study of J-flow on Kähler manifolds confirms energy properness.

In this paper, we give a criterion for the properness of the K-energy in a general Kahler class of a compact Kahler manifold by using Song-Weinkove's result. As applications, we give some Kahler classes on $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2\#3\overline {\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2}$ and $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2\#8\overline {\mathbb{C}\…

Over the space of Kähler metrics associated to a fixed Kähler class, we first prove the lower bound of the energy functional $\tilde E^β$, then we provide the criterions of the geodesics rays to detect the lower bound of $\tilde {\mathfrak J}^β$-functional. They are used to obtain the properness of Mabuchi's $K$-energy…

The paper studies K-energy on compactifications of Lie groups and proves the existence of Kahler-Einstein metrics.

In this paper, we show that the existence of Sasakian-Einstein metrics is closely related to the properness of corresponding energy functionals. Under the condition that admitting no nontrivial Hamiltonian holomorphic vector field, we prove that the existence of Sasakian-Einstein metric implies a Moser-Trudinger type i…

New calibration energy measures deviation from calibrated geometry, enabling mean curvature flow in infinite volumes.

The energy of harmonic sections of flat bundles of nonpositively curved (NPC) length spaces over a Riemann surface $S$ is a function $E_ρ$ on Teichmüller space $\Teich$ which is a qualitative invariant of the holonomy representation $ρ$ of $π_1(S)$. Adapting ideas of Sacks-Uhlenbeck, Schoen-Yau and Tromba, we show that…

In this paper, we consider the twisted Kähler-Ricci soliton, and show that the existence of twisted Kähler-Ricci soliton with semi-positive twisting form is closely related to the properness of some energy functionals. We also consider the conical Kähler-Ricci soliton, and obtain some existence results. In particular, …

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…

The Mabuchi K-energy map is exhibited as a singular metric on the refined CM polarization of any equivariant family $\mathbf{X}\overset{p}{\to} S$. Consequently we show that the generalized Futaki invariant is the leading term in the asymptotics of the reduced K-energy of the generic fiber of the map $p$. Properness of…

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.

Improves generative models for cost-sensitive decisions.

In this paper, we discuss the relative $K$-stability and the modified $K$-energy associated to the Calabi's extremal metric on toric manifolds. We give a sufficient condition in the sense of convex polytopes associated to toric manifolds for both the relative $K$-stability and the properness of modified $K$-energy. In …

We show that in the setting of proper metric spaces one obtains a solution of the classical two-dimensional Plateau problem by minimizing the energy, as in the classical case, once a definition of area (in the sense of convex geometry) has been chosen appropriately. We prove the quasi-convexity of this new definition o…

The maximum a posteriori (MAP) configuration of binary variable models with submodular graph-structured energy functions can be found efficiently and exactly by graph cuts. Max-product belief propagation (MP) has been shown to be suboptimal on this class of energy functions by a canonical counterexample where MP conver…

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.

In this short note we prove that if the curvature tensor is uniformly bounded along the Calabi flow and the Mabuchi energy is proper, then the flow converges to a constant scalar curvature metric.

Yau conjectured that a Fano manifold admits a Kahler-Einstein metric if and only if it is stable in the sense of geometric invariant theory. There has been much progress on this conjecture by Tian, Donaldson and others. The Mabuchi energy functional plays a central role in these ideas. We study the E_k functionals intr…

The paper introduces $G$-Sasaki manifolds and studies K-energy criteria.

Hamiltonian dynamical systems tend to have infinitely many periodic orbits. For example, for a broad class of symplectic manifolds almost all levels of a proper smooth Hamiltonian carry periodic orbits. The Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture is the existence problem for regular compact energy levels without periodic orbits…

The paper proposes a thermodynamic potential to guide training of generative models, breaking ergodicity to improve functionality.

Well-known conjectures of Tian predict that existence of canonical Kahler metrics should be equivalent to various notions of properness of Mabuchi's K-energy functional. In some instances this has been verified, especially under restrictive assumptions on the automorphism group. We provide counterexamples to the origin…

We study Hitchin representations and maximal symplectic representations of surface groups, which can be both thought of as generalisations of Fuchsian representations. We show that the corresponding energy functionals are proper on Teichmuller space. We also prove that the mapping class group acts properly on the corre…

In this paper, we give a new version of the modified Futaki invariant for a test configuration associated to the soliton action on a Fano manifold. Our version will naturally come from toric test configurations defined by Donaldson for toric manifolds. As an application, we show that the modified $K$-energy is proper f…

In this note, we prove that on polarized toric manifolds the relative $K$-stability with respect to Donaldson's toric degenerations is a necessary condition for the existence of Calabi's extremal metrics, and also we show that the modified $K$-energy is proper in the space of $G_0$-invariant Kähler metrics for the case…
