We define G-pseudovaluations on a variety with a group action G. By introducing G-pseudovaluations, we are able to give some criteria for G-equivariant K-stability of Fano varieties which are parallel to existing results for usual…

We introduce a notion of K-semistability for Sasakian manifolds. This extends to the irregular case the orbifold K-semistability of Ross-Thomas. Our main result is that a Sasakian manifold with constant scalar curvature is necessarily…

We show that certain Galois covers of K-semistable Fano varieties are K-stable. We use this to give some new examples of Fano manifolds admitting K\"ahler-Einstein metrics, including hypersurfaces, double solids and threefolds.

We introduce a new effective stability named "divisorial stability" for Fano manifolds which is weaker than K-stability and is stronger than slope stability along divisors. We show that we can test divisorial stability via the volume…

We study the K-stability of $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano spherical varieties using compatible divisors. More precisely, if the $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano variety, with a reductive group action, has an open Borel subgroup orbit, then there is a unique…

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…

In this paper, we investigate the geometry of the orbit space of the closure of the subscheme parametrizing smooth Fano K\"ahler-Einstein manifolds inside an appropriate Hilbert scheme. In particular, we prove that being K-semistable is a…

We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition of existence of a K{\"a}hler-Einstein metric on a $G\times G$-equivariant Fano compactification of a complex connected reductive group $G$ in terms of the associated polytope. This condition is…

We present a description of the equivariant $K$-theory of a smooth projective spherical variety. This provides an integral $K$-theory version of Brion's calculation of equivariant Chow-cohomology of such varieties. We consider the…

We define the relative stability threshold of a family of Fano varieties over a DVR and show that it is computed by a divisorial valuation. In the case when the special fiber is K-unstable, but the generic fiber is K-semistable, we use the…

We provide a sufficient condition for polarisations of Fano varieties to be K-stable in terms of Tian's alpha invariant, which uses the log canonical threshold to measure singularities of divisors in the linear system associated to the…

We survey recent results on the existence of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on certain smoothable Fano varieties, focusing on the importance of such metrics in the construction of compact algebraic moduli spaces of K-polystable Fano varieties.…

Let X be a normal complex projective variety with at worst klt singularities, and L a big line bundle on X. We use valuations to study the log canonical threshold of L, as well as another invariant, the stability threshold. The latter…

A result of Kento Fujita says that the volume of a K\"ahler-Einstein Fano manifold is bounded from above by the volume of the projective space. In this short note we establish quantized versions of Fujita's result.

We study K-stability properties of a smooth Fano variety X using non-Archimedean geometry, specifically the Berkovich analytification of X with respect to the trivial absolute value on the ground field. More precisely, we view…

Let $X$ be a $\mathbb Q$-Fano variety admitting a K\"ahler-Einstein metric. We prove that up to a finite quasi-\'etale cover, $X$ splits isometrically as a product of K\"ahler-Einstein $\mathbb Q$-Fano varieties whose tangent sheaf is…

We show that a set of K-semistable log Fano cone singularities is bounded if and only if their local volumes are bounded away from zero, and their minimal log discrepancies of Koll\'ar components are bounded from above. As corollaries, we…

We give a simple necessary and sufficient condition for uniform K-stability of $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano varieties.

Firstly, we see that the bases of the miniversal deformations of isolated $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein toric singularities are quite restricted. In particular, we classify the analytic germs of embedding dimension $\leq 2$ which are the bases of…

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…
