K-polystability of the first secant varieties of rational normal curves

Algebraic Geometry 2023-11-23 v1

Abstract

The first secant variety Σ\Sigma of a rational normal curve of degree d3d \geq 3 is known to be a Q\mathbf{Q}-Fano threefold. In this paper, we prove that Σ\Sigma is K-polystable, and hence, Σ\Sigma admits a weak K\"{a}hler-Einstein metric. We also show that there exists a (KΣ)(-K_{\Sigma})-polar cylinder in Σ\Sigma.
