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…
K-polystability of a polarised variety is an algebro-geometric notion conjecturally equivalent to the existence of a constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metric. When a variety is K-unstable, it is expected to admit a "most destabilising"…
We apply the theory of the Chow-Mumford line bundle as developed by Arezzo-et-al and build on earlier key insights of Paul and Tian (see \cite{Arezzo:DellaVedova:LaNave} and the references therein). In particular, we give an explicit…
We express notions of K-stability of polarized spherical varieties in terms of combinatorial data, vastly generalizing the case of toric varieties. We then provide a combinatorial sufficient condition of G-uniform K-stability by studying…
Assume that a projective variety together with a polarization is uniformly K-stable. If the polarization is canonical or anti-canonical, then the projective variety is uniformly K-stable with respects to any polarization sufficiently close…
We introduce an analogue of Bridgeland's stability conditions for polarised varieties. Much as Bridgeland stability is modelled on slope stability of coherent sheaves, our notion of Z-stability is modelled on the notion of K-stability of…
We introduce a theory of uniform K-stability for big line bundles on smooth projective varieties. This extends the existing theory both for varieties with ample line bundles, and for varieties with big anticanonical class. Our main result…
We study slope stability of smooth surfaces and its connection with exceptional divisors. We show that a surface containing an exceptional divisor with arithmetic genus at least two is slope unstable for some polarisation. In the converse…
We make a systematic study of the Hilbert-Mumford criterion for different notions of stability for polarised algebraic varieties $(X,L)$; in particular for K- and Chow stability. For each type of stability this leads to a concept of slope…
We prove that a normal hyperplane section of the Segre variety $\Sigma_{m, n}$ is K-unstable with respect to any polarization if $m\neq n$ or it is not smooth.
Given a one parameter flat family of polarized algebraic varieties, we show that any K-stable limit is unique. In particular, moduli spaces of K-stable polarized varieties are automatically Hausdorff when they exist. We also give a…
Divisorial stability of a polarised variety is a stronger - but conjecturally equivalent - variant of uniform K-stability introduced by Boucksom-Jonsson. Whereas uniform K-stability is defined in terms of test configurations, divisorial…
It is conjectured that to test the K-polystability of a polarised variety it is enough to consider test-configurations which are equivariant with respect to a torus in the automorphism group. We prove partial results towards this…
A classical fact is that normal bundles of rational normal curves are well-balanced. We generalize this by proving that all Veronese normal bundles are slope semistable. We also determine the line bundle decomposition of the restriction of…
We complete a full classification of non-degenerate traveling waves of scalar balance laws from the point of view of spectral and nonlinear stability/instability under (piecewise) smooth perturbations. A striking feature of our analysis is…
In this paper, we study the K-stability of polarized spherical varieties. After reduction, it can be treated as a variational problem of the reduced functional of the Futaki invariant on the associated moment polytope. With the convexity…
In this thesis we study the relationship between the existence of canonical metrics on a complex manifold and stability in the sense of geometric invariant theory. We introduce a modification of K-stability of a polarised variety which we…
The holomorphic invariants introduced by Futaki as obstruction to the asymptotic Chow semistability are studied by an algebraic-geometric point of view and are shown to be the Mumford weights of suitable line bundles on the Hilbert scheme.…
In this paper, we shall show that a polarized algebraic manifold is K-stable if the polarization class admits a Kaehler metric of constant scalar curvature. This generalizes the results of Chen-Tian, Donaldson and Stoppa. (Parts of the…
We observe that if we are interested primarily in degeneration arguments, there is a weaker notion of (semi)stability for vector bundles on reducible curves, which is sufficient for many applications, and does not depend on a choice of…
