Abstract

In 1987, the α\alpha-invariant theorem gave a fundamental criterion for existence of Kahler-Einstein metrics on smooth Fano manifolds. In 2012, Odaka-Sano extended the framework to Q\mathbb{Q}-Fano varieties in terms of K-stability, and in 2017 Fujita related this circle of ideas to the δ\delta-invariant of Fujita-Odaka. We introduce new invariants on the big cone and prove a generalization of the Tian-Odaka-Sano Theorem to all big classes on varieties with klt singularities, and moreover for all volume quantiles τ[0,1]\tau\in[0,1]. The special degenerate (collapsing) case τ=0\tau=0 on ample classes recovers Odaka-Sano's theorem. This leads to many new twisted Kahler-Einstein metrics on big classes. Of independent interest, the proof involves a generalization to sub-barycenters of the classical Neumann-Hammer Theorem from convex geometry.
