We show a quite simple second variation formula for Perelman's $\mathcal{W}$-functional along the modified K\"ahler-Ricci flow over Fano manifolds.
In this short note we observe that the concavity of Perelman's $\mathcal{W}$-functional over a neighborhood of a K\"ahler-Ricci soliton inside the space of K\"ahler potentials is a direct consequence of author's solution of the variational…
In this expository note, we study the second variation of Perelman's entropy on the space of Kahler metrics at a K\"ahler-Ricci soliton. We prove that the entropy is stable in the sense of variations. In particular, Perelman's entropy is…
