In this paper, improving a preceding work, we obtain asymptotic polybalanced kernels associated to extremal Kaehler metrics on polarized algebraic manifolds. As a corollary, we have a stronger asymptotic relative Chow-polystability for…

We show that if a compact K\"ahler manifold admits a weighted extremal metric for the action of a torus, so too does its blowup at a relatively stable point that is fixed by both the torus action and the extremal field. This generalises…

Let $(X,\omega)$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold and $\mathcal H$ the space of K\"ahler metrics cohomologous to $\omega$. If a cscK metric exists in $\mathcal H$, we show that all finite energy minimizers of the extended K-energy are smooth…

We show that the Mabuchi energy of any polarized manifold (X,L) is (bounded below) proper on the full space of Kahler metrics in the first Chern class of L if and only if (X,L) is asymptotically (semi)stable. In particular it now follows…

Consider a compact K\"ahler manifold which either admits an extremal K\"ahler metric, or is a small deformation of such a manifold. We show that the blowup of the manifold at a point admits an extremal K\"ahler metric in K\"ahler classes…

We establish a regularity result for the metric on any 4-dimensional extremal K\"ahler manifold, and a weak compactness theorem on the space of such metrics. Specifically, the sectional curvature at a point is bounded when the quantity…

In this paper, we discuss a Donaldson's version of the modified $K$-energy associated to the Calabi's extremal metrics on toric manifolds and prove the existence of the weak solution for extremal metrics in the sense of convex functions…

We prove that if a compact smooth polarized complex manifold admits in the corresponding Hodge K\"ahler class a conformally K\"ahler, Einstein--Maxwell metric, or more generally, a K\"ahler metric of constant $(\xi, a, p)$-scalar curvature,…

Using Seiberg-Witten theory, it is shown that any Kaehler metric of constant negative scalar curvature on a compact 4-manifold M minimizes the L^2-norm of scalar curvature among Riemannian metrics compatible with a fixed decomposition…

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 study Mabuchi's K-energy on a compactification M of a reductive Lie group G, which is a complexification of its maximal compact subgroup K. We give a criterion for the properness of K-energy on the space of K \times…

We prove an equivariant version of the CM minimization conjecture for extremal K\"ahler manifolds. This involves proving that, given an equivariant punctured family of polarized varieties, a relative version of the CM degree is strictly…

In joint work with Chen and Weber, the author has elsewhere shown that CP2#2(-CP2) admits an Einstein metric. The present paper gives a new and rather different proof of this fact. Our results include new existence theorems for extremal…

Consider a fibred compact K\"ahler manifold X endowed with a relatively ample line bundle, such that each fibre admits a constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metric and has discrete automorphism group. Assuming the base of the fibration…

On a K\"ahler manifold we consider the problems of maximizing/minimizing Monge--Amp\`ere energy over certain subsets of the space of K\"ahler potentials. Under suitable assumptions we prove that solutions to these variational problems…

We define K-stability of a polarized Sasakian manifold relative to a maximal torus of automorphisms. The existence of a Sasaki-extremal metric in the polarization is shown to imply that the polarization is K-semistable. Computing this…

In their seminal work (\cite{CC}, \cite{CC2}), Chen and Cheng proved apriori estimates for the constant scalar curvature metrics on compact K\"ahler manifolds. They also proved $C^{3,\alpha}$ estimate for the potential of the \ka metrics…

We develop some pluripotential theoretic techniques for the transversally holomorphic foliation of a Sasakian manifold. We prove the convexity of the K-energy along weak geodesics for Sasakian manifolds. This implies that the K-energy is…

Recently, Donaldson proved asymptotic stability for a polarized algebraic manifold $M$ with polarization class admitting a K\"ahler metric of constant scalar curvature, essentially when the linear algebraic part $H$ of $Aut^0(M)$ is…
