We obtain results that relate Donaldson-Futaki type invariants (that is, the numerical invariants used to define K-stability for general polarised manifolds) for a toric polarised manifold and for a compactification of its mirror…

We introduce and study $\mu$K-stability of polarized schemes with respect to general test configurations as an algebro-geometric aspect of the existence of $\mu$-cscK metrics, which is introduced in the paper arXiv:1902.00664 as a framework…

In recent work of Kennard, Khalili Samani, and the last author, they generalize the Half-Maximal Symmetry Rank result of Wilking for torus actions on positively curved manifolds to $\mathbb{Z}_2$-tori with a fixed point. They show that if…

Let $(M, \omega, J)$ be a K\"ahler manifold, equipped with an effective Hamiltonian torus action $\rho: T \rightarrow \mathrm{Diff}(M, \omega, J)$ by isometries with moment map $\mu: M \rightarrow \mathfrak{t}^{*}$. We first construct a…

We establish simultaneous approximation properties of weighted first-order Sobolev orthogonal projectors onto spaces of polynomials of bounded total degree in the Euclidean unit ball. The simultaneity is in the sense that we provide bounds…

We prove the equivariant holomorphic Morse inequalities for a holomorphic torus action on a holomorphic vector bundle over a compact Kahler manifold when the fixed-point set is not necessarily discrete. Such inequalities bound the twisted…

We apply results of Harada, Holm and Henriques to prove that the Atiyah-Segal equivariant complex $K$-theory ring of a divisive weighted projective space (which is singular for nontrivial weights) is isomorphic to the ring of integral…

We associate to a test configuration of an ample line bundle a filtration of the section ring of the line bundle. Using the recent work of Boucksom-Chen we get a concave function on the Okounkov body whose law with respect to Lebesgue…

The subject of this dissertation is the Gysin homomorphism in equivariant cohomology for spaces with torus action. We consider spaces which are quotients of classical semisimple complex linear algebraic groups by a parabolic subgroup with…

We use the correspondence between extremal Sasaki structures and weighted extremal Kahler metrics defined on a regular quotient of a Sasaki manifold, established by the first two authors, and Lahdili's theory of weighted K-stability in…

We study approximation properties of weighted $L^2$-orthogonal projectors onto the space of polynomials of degree less than or equal to $N$ on the unit disk where the weight is of the generalized Gegenbauer form $x \mapsto…

For smooth test configurations, there always exist C^{1,1} geodesic rays in Kahler metric space parallel to the algebraic ray. The $\yen$ invariant agrees with Futaki invariant, at least under nice assumptions. Explicit examples in Toric…

We embed polarised orbifolds with cyclic stabiliser groups into weighted projective space via a weighted form of Kodaira embedding. Dividing by the (non-reductive) automorphisms of weighted projective space then formally gives a moduli…

In this paper we provide a means of certifying infinitesimal projective rigidity relative to the cusp for hyperbolic once punctured torus bundles in terms of twisted Alexander polynomials of representations associated to the holonomy. We…

We consider Mabuchi rays of toric K\"ahler structures on symplectic toric manifolds which are associated to toric test configurations and that are generated by convex functions on themoment polytope, $P$, whose second derivative has support…

Given a torus action on a compact space X, a fundamental result of Borel and Atiyah-Segal asserts that the equivariant cohomology of X is concentrated in the fixed locus X^T, up to inverting enough Chern classes. We prove an analogue for…

In this thesis we study the relationship between the existence of canonical metrics on a complex manifold and stability in the sense of geometric invariant theory. We introduce a modification of K-stability of a polarised variety which we…

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…

We establish a natural and geometric 1-1 correspondence between projective toric varieties of dimension $n$ and horofunction compactifications of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with respect to rational polyhedral norms. For this purpose, we explain a…

In this paper, we make a generalization of the results in \cite{Li22a} to the singular and weighted setting. In particular, we show that on a polarized projective klt variety, the $\mathbb{G}$-uniform weighted K-stability for models implies…
