We introduce a new subclass of Fano varieties (Casagrande-Druel varieties), that are $n$-dimensional varieties constructed from Fano double covers of dimension $n-1$. We conjecture that a Casagrande-Druel variety is K-polystable if the…

We show that a polarised manifold with a constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metric and discrete automorphisms is K-stable. This refines the K-semistability proved by S. K. Donaldson.

We consider slope stability of the canonical extension of the tangent bundle by the trivial line bundle and with the extension class c_1(T_X) on Picard-rank-1 Fano varieties. In cases where the index divides the dimension or the dimension…

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…

In this note, using the recent compactness results of Tian and Chen-Donaldson-Sun, we prove the K-semistable version of Yau-Tian-Donaldson correspondence for Fano manifolds.

We investigate stability properties of the reductive Borel-Serre categories; these were introduced as a model for unstable algebraic K-theory in previous work. We see that they exhibit better homological stability properties than the…

The family of smooth Fano 3-folds with Picard rank 1 and anticanonical volume 4 consists of quartic 3-folds and of double covers of the 3-dimensional quadric branched along an octic surface. They can all be parametrised as complete…

We describe KSB smoothings of log canonical surface pairs $(S, D)$, where $D$ is a reduced curve. In sharp contrast with the $D=\emptyset$ case, cyclic quotient pairs always have KSB smoothings, usually forming many irreducible components.…

We show that any Fano fivefold with canonical Gorenstein singularities has an effective anticanonical divisor. Moreover,if a general element of the anticanonical system is reduced, then it has canonical singularities. We also prove…

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…

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…

As recently pointed out by Li and Xu, the definition of K-stability, and the author's proof of K-stability for cscK manifolds without holomorphic vector fields, need to be altered slightly: the Donaldson-Futaki invariant is positive for all…

We study the cones of q-ample divisors on smooth complex varieties. In favourable cases, we identify a part where the closure of this cone and the nef cone have the same boundary. This is especially interesting for Fano (or almost Fano)…

We prove various results involving arcs - which generalise test configurations - within the theory of K-stability. Our main result characterises coercivity of the Mabuchi functional on spaces of Fubini-Study metrics in terms of uniform…

In this paper we study normal surfaces whose anticanonical divisors are strictly nef, i.e. (-K)C>0 for every curve C.

We prove singularity criteria for the $t$-K-stability of adjoint foliated structures. We first show that K-semistability of adjoint foliated structures implies log canonicity by extending Odaka's flag ideal characterisation of the mixed…

It is known that the automorphism group of a K-polystable Fano manifold is reductive. Codogni and Dervan construct a canonical filtration of the section ring, called Loewy filtration, and conjecture that the Loewy filtration destabilizes…

We demonstrate the generic invariance of the Fano type property in cases where the volumes of anti-canonical divisors of Fano type fibers are a constant over a Zariski-dense subset, or the Fano type fibers are dimension $2$. Additionally,…

We exhibit an example of obstructed K-polystable Fano 3-fold $X$ such that the K-moduli stack of K-semistable Fano varieties and the K-moduli space of K-polystable Fano varieties have an embedded point at $[X]$.

Let $X$ be an $n$-dimensional complex Fano manifolds $(n\geq 3)$. Assume that $X$ contains a divisor $A$, which is isomorphic to a rational homogeneous space with Picard number one, such that the conormal bundle $\mathscr{N}^*_{A/X}$ is…
