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

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…

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

In this short note, we give a new proof of a theorem of Arezzo-Tian on the existence of smooth geodesic rays tamed by a special degeneration.

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

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

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

We give a formula of the Donaldson-Futaki invariants for certain type of semi test configurations, which essentially generalizes Ross-Thomas' slope theory. The positivity (resp. non-negativity) of those "a priori special" Donaldson-Futaki invariants implies K-stability (resp. K-semistability). We show its applicability…

Defines volume and Monge-Ampère energy on polarized affine varieties.

A machine learning configuration refers to a combination of preprocessor, learner, and hyperparameters. Given a set of configurations and a large dataset randomly split into training and testing set, we study how to efficiently select the best configuration with approximately the highest testing accuracy when trained f…

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…

The paper classifies and computes limits of equivariant compactifications of groups.

We prove Atiyah's conjecture for two special types of configurations of N points in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. For one of these types, it is shown that the stronger conjecture of Atiyah and Sutcliffe is valid.

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…

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

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…

Formula proves invariant matches for smooth and orbifold test configurations.

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…

Adaptive RL optimizes testing resource allocation for dynamic software environments.

Characterizes closures of test configurations and algebraic singularity types.

Ensuring that all supposedly valid configurations of a software product line (SPL) lead to well-formed and acceptable products is challenging since it is most of the time impractical to enumerate and test all individual products of an SPL. Machine learning classifiers have been recently used to predict the acceptabilit…

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.

Paper studies special braids from chromatic configuration spaces.

Study principal configurations near special points on spacelike surfaces in null hypersurfaces.

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.

In this note we show that the configuration spaces of the kinematic system constructed in [4] and [12] gives rise to a natural tower of sphere bundles. Moreover, we prove that, each tower of projective bundles associated to special multi- flags (cf [1], [13], [2], [3]), we can associate such a tower of sphere bundles w…

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 …

The paper classifies test configurations and derives a criterion for uniform K-stability of certain algebraic varieties.

Paper computes stability of Q-Fano spherical varieties using test configurations and Futaki invariants.

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…

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…

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…

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…

New proof of trapezoidal property for Alexander polynomials of special alternating links.

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

Researchers introduce new energies to study constant scalar curvature metrics.

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…

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

We prove a transversality "lifting property" for compactified configuration spaces as an application of the multijet transversality theorem: the submanifold of configurations of points on an arbitrary submanifold of Euclidean space may be made transverse to any submanifold of the configuration space of points in Euclid…

Identifies policy space of learning agents from demonstrations.

New proof of a 111-year-old result using gauge theory.

We consider the problem of configuring general-purpose solvers to run efficiently on problem instances drawn from an unknown distribution. The goal of the configurator is to find a configuration that runs fast on average on most instances, and do so with the least amount of total work. It can run a chosen solver on a r…

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…
