New approach to $Z$-stability and critical metrics on Kähler manifolds.

The paper introduces $μ$K-stability for polarized schemes and develops equivariant calculus.

Given a polarized complex manifold, projection of a torus-equivariant test configuration to holomorphic vector fields was introduced by G. Székelyhidi, as the limit of the associated $\mathbb{C}^*$-actions. We show that there actually holds the moment convergence of the weight distributions. Our analytic approach at th…

Characterizes K-semistability for log Fano cone singularities.

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…

Geodesic rays and chordal distances link algebraic and geometric properties of positive metrics.

It is conjectured that to test the K-polystability of a polarised variety it is enough to consider test-configurations which are equivariant with respect to a torus in the automorphism group. We prove partial results towards this conjecture. We also show that it would give a new proof of the K-polystability of constant…

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

We prove a criterion for K-stability of a $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano spherical variety with respect to equivariant special test configurations, in terms of its moment polytope and some combinatorial data associated to the open orbit. Combined with the equivariant version of the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture for Fano manifolds p…

Proves Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture for cohomogeneity one manifolds.

Equivalence proven between divisorial stability and quotient log divisorial stability.

We prove two new results on the K-polystability of Q-Fano varieties based on purely algebro-geometric arguments. The first one says that any K-semistable log Fano cone has a special degeneration to a uniquely determined K-polystable log Fano cone. As a corollary, we combine it with the differential-geometric results to…

The paper establishes a correspondence for projective bundles over curves using test configurations and extremal metrics.

For smooth test configurations, there always exist C^{1,1} geodesic rays in Kahler metric space parallel to the algebraic ray. The $\yen$ invariant agrees with Futaki invariant, at least under nice assumptions. Explicit examples in Toric cases are calculated. On simple test configurations, Donaldson's correspondence be…

Let $Δ\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be an $n$-dimensional integral Delzant polytope. It is well-known that there exist the $n$-dimensional compact toric manifold $X_Δ$ and the very ample $(\mathbb{C}^\times)^n$-equivariant line bundle $L_Δ$ on $X_Δ$ associated with $Δ$. In the present paper, we give a necessary and sufficient …

New extremal metrics found on Kähler manifolds.

We give a parametrization of test configurations in the sense of Donaldson via spherical buildings, and show the existence of "optimal" destabilizing test configurations for unstable varieties, in the wake of Mumford and Kempf. We also give an account of the recent slight amendment to definition of K-stability after Li…

Characterizes closures of test configurations and algebraic singularity types.

In this paper we study K-polystability of arbitrary (possibly non-projective) compact Kähler manifolds admitting holomorphic vector fields. As a main result, we show that existence of a constant scalar curvature Kähler (cscK) metric implies 'geodesic K-polystability', in a sense that is expected to be equivalent to K-p…

We introduce uniform K-stability and its relationship with the coercivity property of the K-energy functional, for general polarized manifolds. Since the automorphism groups are not necessarily finite, size of the norm measuring uniformity should be reduced with respect to the group action. About this point we explain …

In this note, we consider a sequence of test configurations compatible with a Kaehler metric in $c_1(L)$ on a polarized algebraic manifold $(X,L)$. Then an explicit formula for the Donaldson-Futaki invariant $F_1$ for the sequence will be given.

Extremal Kahler metrics and Sasaki-Einstein metrics characterized via coercive energy.

The paper shows how to destabilize unstable Fano varieties using stability thresholds.

For test configurations, the Donaldson-Futaki invariant F_1 is well-known. In this note, its refinement will be discussed. Then we see that Li-Xu's pathology doesn't occur, since their example of a non-normal test configuration, with trivial normalization, actually has non-vanishing F_1 in this refined sense.

We apply the integral formula of volumes to the family of graded linear series constructed from any test configuration. This solves the conjecture raised by Witt--Nyström so that the sequence of spectral measures for the induced $\mathbb{C}^*$-action on the central fiber converges to the canonical Duistermatt--Heckman …

For any flat projective family $(\mX,\mL)\rightarrow C$ such that the generic fibre $\mX_η$ is a klt Q-Fano variety and $\mL|_{\mX_η}\sim_{Q}-K_{X_η}$, we use the techniques from the minimal model program (MMP) to modify the total family. The end product is a family such that every fiber is a klt Q-Fano variety. Moreov…

Geodesic rays of class C^{1,1} are constructed for any test configuration of a positive line bundle L on X using resolution of singularities. The construction reduces to finding a subsolution of the corresponding Monge-Ampere equation. Geometrically, this is accomplished by the use a positive line bundle on the resolut…

We introduce a strengthening of K-stability, based on filtrations of the homogeneous coordinate ring. This allows for considering certain limits of families of test-configurations, which arise naturally in several settings. We prove that if a manifold with no automorphisms admits a cscK metric, then it satisfies this s…

The paper studies Einstein-Hilbert functional and its relation to K-semistability.

In this note, given a polarized algebraic manifold $(X,L)$, we define the Donaldson-Futaki invariant for a sequence of test configurations for $(X,L)$ with exponents tending to infinity. This then allows us to define a strong version of K-stability or K-semistability for $(X,L)$. In particular, $(X,L)$ will be shown to…

Let $X$ be a compact complex manifold, $L\to X$ an ample line bundle over $X$, and ${\cal H}$ the space of all positively curved metrics on $L$. We show that a pair $(h_0,T)$ consisting of a point $h_0\in {\cal H}$ and a test configuration $T=({\cal L}\to {\cal X}\to {\bf C})$, canonically determines a weak geodesic ra…

The paper proves the openness of K-semistability for Fano varieties.

Researchers introduce new energies to study constant scalar curvature metrics.

This article contains a detailed study, in the toric case, of the test configuration geodesic rays defined by Phong-Sturm. We show that the `Bergman approximations' of Phong-Sturm converge in C^1 to the geodesic ray and that the geodesic ray itself is C^{1,1} and no better. The \kahler metrics associated to the geodesi…

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…

On a K-unstable toric variety we show the existence of an optimal destabilising convex function. We show that if this is piecewise linear then it gives rise to a decomposition into semistable pieces analogous to the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of an unstable vector bundle. We also show that if the Calabi flow exists f…

Proves properness of K-moduli spaces for Fano varieties.

The study connects K-stability and large complex structure limits in mirror symmetry.

We introduce a norm on the space of test configurations, which we call the minimum norm. We conjecture that uniform K-stability with respect to this norm is equivalent to the existence of a constant scalar curvature Kähler metric. This notion of uniform K-stability is analogous to coercivity of the Mabuchi functional. …
