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…

We compute global log canonical thresholds, or equivalently alpha invariants, of birationally rigid orbifold Fano threefolds embedded in weighted projective spaces as codimension two or three. As an important application, we prove that most…

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…

We prove the existence of Kahler-Einstein metrics on Q-Gorenstein smoothable, K-polystable Q-Fano varieties, and we show how these metrics behave, in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense, under Q-Gorenstein smoothings.

In this paper, we show that the \alpha_{m,2}-invariant of a smooth cubic surface with Eckardt points is strictly bigger than 2/3. This can be used to simplify Tian's original proof of the existence of Kaehler-Einstein metrics on such…

We relate the global log canonical threshold of a variety with torus action to the global log canonical threshold of its quotient. We apply this to certain Fano varieties and use Tian's criterion to prove the existence of Kahler-Einstein…

We prove the existence of Kahler-Einstein metric on a K-stable Fano manifold using the recent compactness result on Kahler-Ricci flows. The key ingredient is an algebro-geometric description of the asymptotic behavior of Kahler-Ricci flow…

We give a complete criterion for the existence of generalized K\"ahler Einstein metrics on toric Fano manifolds from view points of a uniform stability in a sense of GIT and the properness of a functional on the space of K\"ahler metrics.

The existence of Kahler-Einstein metrics on a Fano manifold is characterized in terms of a uniform gap between 0 and the first positive eigenvalue of the Cauchy-Riemann operator on smooth vector fields. It is also characterized by a similar…

The wonderful compactification $X_m$ of a symmetric homogeneous space of type AIII$(2,m)$ for each $m \geq 4$ is Fano, and its blowup $Y_m$ along the unique closed orbit is Fano if $m \geq 5$ and Calabi-Yau if $m = 4$. Using a combinatorial…

Let $Y$ be a compact K\"ahler normal space and $\alpha \in H^{1,1}(Y,\mathbb{R})$ a K\"ahler class. We study metric properties of the space $\mathcal{H}_\alpha$ of K\"ahler metrics in $\alpha$ using Mabuchi geodesics. We extend several…
