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…

The study constructs universal invariants for non-Archimedean metrics on projective varieties.

Let $(X,ω)$ be a compact Kähler manifold and $\mathcal H$ the space of Kähler metrics cohomologous to $ω$. If a cscK metric exists in $\mathcal H$, we show that all finite energy minimizers of the extended K-energy are smooth cscK metrics, partially confirming a conjecture of Y.A. Rubinstein and the second author. As a…

Let $(X,ω)$ be a compact normal Kähler space, with Hodge metric $ω$. In this paper, the last in a sequence of works studying the relationship between energy properness and canonical Kähler metrics, we introduce a geodesic metric structure on $\mathcal H_ω(X)$, the space of Kähler potentials, whose completion is the fin…

We consider (locally) energy finite coordinates associated with a strongly local regular Dirichlet form on a metric measure space. We give coordinate formulas for substitutes of tangent spaces, for gradient and divergence operators and for the infinitesimal generator. As examples we discuss Euclidean spaces, Riemannian…

New findings on Mabuchi energy and stability of manifolds.

The space of Kähler metrics can, on the one hand, be approximated by subspaces of algebraic metrics, while, on the other hand, can be enlarged to finite-energy spaces arising in pluripotential theory. The latter spaces are realized as metric completions of Finsler structures on the space of Kähler metrics. The former s…

The paper analyzes discrete approximations to minimize curve length in Euclidean space.

A self-dual harmonic 2-form on a 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold is symplectic where it does not vanish. Furthermore, away from the form's zero set, the metric with the 2-form give a compatible almost complex structure and thus pseudo-holomorphic subvarieties. Such a subvariety is said to have finite energy when the …

Let $(X,ω)$ be a compact Kähler manifold of dimension $n$, and $θ$ be a closed smooth real $(1,1)$-form representing a big and nef cohomology class. We introduce a metric $d_p, p\geq 1$, on the finite energy space $\mathcal{E}^p(X,θ)$, making it a complete geodesic metric space.

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 paper we classify the solutions to the geometric Neumann problem for the Liouville equation in the upper half-plane or an upper half-disk, with the energy condition given by finite area. As a result, we classify the conformal Riemannian metrics of constant curvature and finite area on a half-plane that have a f…

Let (X,L) be a polarized projective complex manifold. We show, by a simple toric one-dimensional example, that Mabuchi's K-energy functional on the geodesically complete space of bounded positive (1,1)-forms in the first Chern class of L, endowed with the Mabuchi metric, is not strictly convex modulo automorphisms. How…

Synthetic approach to pluripotential theory measures finite energy.

Let (M, g) be an (n+1) dimensional space-time, with bounded curvature with respect to a bounded framing. If (M, g) is vacuum or satisfies a mild condition on the stress-energy tensor, then we show that (M, g) locally admits coordinate systems in which the Lorentz metric is well-controlled in the (space-time) Sobolev sp…

We investigate probability measures with finite pluricomplex energy. We give criteria insuring that a given measure has finite energy and test these on various examples. We show that this notion is a biholomorphic but not a bimeromorphic invariant.

Assume $(X, ω)$ is a compact symplectic manifold with a Hamiltonian compact Lie group action and the zero in the Lie algebra is a regular value of the moment map $μ$. We prove that a finite energy symplectic vortex exponentially converges to (un)twisted sectors of the symplectic reduction at cylinder ends whose metrics…

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

We show that degenerate complex Monge-Ampere equations in a big cohomology class of a compact Kaehler manifold can be solved using a variational method independent of Yau's theorem. Our formulation yields in particular a natural pluricomplex analogue of the classical logarithmic energy of a measure. We also investigate…

The paper proves new rigidity results for critical metrics of quadratic curvature functionals.

We show that for any closed surface of genus greater than one and for any finite weighted graph filling the surface, there exists a hyperbolic metric which realizes the least Dirichlet energy harmonic embedding of the graph among a fixed homotopy class and all hyperbolic metrics on the surface. We give explicit example…

In this paper, we study the weak compactness of the set of conformal metrics in any Riemann surface without boundary whose Calabi energy and area are uniformly bounded. We prove that for any sequence of such metrics, there alwasy exists a subsequence which converges in H\sp{2,2}_\sb{loc} everywhere except a finite numb…

Let $(X,ω)$ be a compact connected Kähler manifold and denote by $(\mathcal E^p,d_p)$ the metric completion of the space of Kähler potentials $\mathcal H_ω$ with respect to the $L^p$-type path length metric $d_p$. First, we show that the natural analytic extension of the (twisted) Mabuchi K-energy to $\mathcal E^p$ is …

Explain convexity of K-energy leading to unique metrics.

Let $X$ be a compact Kähler manifold and $\a \in H^{1,1}(X,\R)$ a Kähler class. We study the metric completion of the space $\HH_\a$ of Kähler metrics in $\a$, when endowed with the Mabuchi $L^2$-metric $d$. Using recent ideas of Darvas, we show that the metric completion $(\overline{\HH}_\a,d)$ of $(\HH_\a,d)$ is a CA…
