Strict convexity of the Mabuchi functional for energy minimizers

Abstract

There are two parts of this paper. First, we discovered an explicit formula for the complex Hessian of the weighted log-Bergman kernel on a parallelogram domain, and utilised this formula to give a new proof about the strict convexity of the Mabuchi functional along a smooth geodesic. Second, when a C^{1,1}-geodesic connects two non-degenerate energy minimizers, we also proved this strict convexity, by showing that such a geodesic must be non-degenerate and smooth.
