Let $X$ be a Fano manifold of dimension at least $2$ and $D$ be a smooth divisor in a multiple of the anticanonical class, $\frac1\alpha(-K_X)$ with $\alpha>1$. It is well-known that K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on $X$ with conic singularities…

Let X be a compact Kahler orbifold without \C-codimension-1 singularities. Let D be a suborbifold divisor in X such that D \supset Sing(X) and -pK_X = q[D] for some p, q \in \N with q > p. Assume that D is Fano. We prove the following two…

In this paper, we study the stability of the conical K\"ahler-Ricci flows on Fano manifolds. That is, if there exists a conical K\"ahler-Einstein metric with cone angle $2\pi\beta$ along the divisor, then for any $\beta'$ sufficiently close…

We give some non-existence results for K\"ahler-Einstein metrics with conical singularities along a divisor on Fano manifolds. In particular we show that the maximal possible cone angle is in general smaller than the invariant R(M). We…

We prove that the existence of a Kahler-Einstein metric on a Fano manifold is equivalent to the properness of the energy functionals defined by Bando, Chen, Ding, Mabuchi and Tian on the set of Kahler metrics with positive Ricci curvature.…

Let $D$ be a smooth divisor in a compact complex manifold $X$ and let $\beta \in (0,1)$. We show that in any positive co-homology class on $X$ there is a K\"ahler metric with cone angle $2\pi\beta$ along $D$ which has bounded Ricci…

We give criterions for the existence of toric conical Kahler-Einstein and Kahler-Ricci soliton metrics on any toric manifold in relation to the greatest Ricci and Bakry-Emery-Ricci lower bound. We also show that any two toric manifolds with…

We prove the existence and uniqueness of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on Q-Fano varieties with log terminal singularities (and more generally on log Fano pairs) whose Mabuchi functional is proper. We study analogues of the works of Perelman on…

For $\phi$ a metric on the anticanonical bundle, $-K_X$, of a Fano manifold $X$ we consider the volume of $X$ $$ \int_X e^{-\phi}. $$ We prove that the logarithm of the volume is concave along bounded geodesics in the space of positively…

We apply Tian's method in Kahler-Einstein problem to prove that a conic K\''ahler metric with lower Ricci curvature bound can be approximated by smooth K\''ahler metrics with the same lower Ricci curvature bound. Furthermore, conic…

We consider the space of Kahler metrics as a Riemannian submanifold of the space of Riemannian metrics, and study the associated submanifold geometry. In particular, we show that the intrinsic and extrinsic distance functions are…

Yau conjectured that a Fano manifold admits a Kahler-Einstein metric if and only if it is stable in the sense of geometric invariant theory. There has been much progress on this conjecture by Tian, Donaldson and others. The Mabuchi energy…

On a Fano manifold M we study the supremum of the possible t such that there is a K\"ahler metric in c_1(M) with Ricci curvature bounded below by t. This is shown to be the same as the maximum existence time of Aubin's continuity path for…

Inspired by Fujita's algebro-geometric result that complex projective space has maximal degree among all K-semistable complex Fano varieties, we conjecture that the height of a K-semistable metrized arithmetic Fano variety X of relative…

We characterize the global maximizers of a certain non-local functional defined on the space of all positively curved metrics on an ample line bundle L over a Kahler manifold X. This functional is an adjoint version, introduced by…

Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold with a given ample line bundle $L$. In \cite{Don05}, Donaldson proved that the Calabi energy of a K\"ahler metric in $c_1(L)$ is bounded from below by the supremum of a normalized version of the minus…

In this paper, we prove Matsushima's theorem for K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on a Fano manifold with cone singularities along a smooth divisor that is not necessarily proportional to the anti-canonical class. We then give an alternative proof…

In this paper we provide new necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on small deformations of a Fano K\"ahler-Einstein manifold. We also show that the Weil-Petersson metric can be approximated by…
