We establish the convexity of Mabuchi's K-energy functional along weak geodesics in the space of Kahler potentials on a compact Kahler manifold thus confirming a conjecture of Chen and give some applications in Kahler geometry, including 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…

This article is an expository introduction to our paper Convexity of the K-energy and Uniqueness of Extremal metrics. We present the main ideas behind the proof that Mabuchi's K-energy functional is convex along weak geodesics in the space…

We show that a compact weighted extremal Kahler manifold (as defined by the third named author) has coercive weighted Mabuchi energy with respect to a maximal complex torus in the reduced group of complex automorphisms. This provides a vast…

In this paper, we give a criterion for the properness of the K-energy in a general Kahler class of a compact Kahler manifold by using Song-Weinkove's result. As applications, we give some Kahler classes on…

In this paper, we prove the equivalence of the existence of extremal Kahler metrics and the properness of the modified K energy on projective bundles. Moreover, we discuss the relations of the lower boundedness of the K energy, the infimum…

Over the space of K\"ahler metrics associated to a fixed K\"ahler class, we first prove the lower bound of the energy functional $\tilde E^\beta$, then we provide the criterions of the geodesics rays to detect the lower bound of $\tilde…

In this paper, we give a result on the properness of the K-energy, which answers a question of Song-Weinkove in any dimensions. Moreover, we extend our previous result on the properness of K-energy to the case of modified K-energy…

In this note, we shall prove geodesic convexity of the space of K\"ahler potentials on an ALE K\"ahler manifold. This extends earlier results in the compact case proved in the fundamental work of X-X. Chen. We further prove the boundedness…

Given a compact polarized K\"ahler manifold $X\hookrightarrow\mathbb{CP}^N$, the space of Bergman metrics on $X$, parameterized by $\mathrm{SL}(N+1,\mathbb{C})$, corresponds to a dense set in the space of K\"ahler potentials in the K\"ahler…

We develop a variational calculus for a certain free energy functional on the space of all probability measures on a Kahler manifold X. This functional can be seen as a generalization of Mabuchi's K-energy functional and its twisted…

We compute the moduli Kahler potential for M-theory on a compact manifold of G_2 holonomy in a large radius approximation. Our method relies on an explicit G_2 structure with small torsion, its periods and the calculation of the approximate…

Let $G$ be a complex, connect reductive Lie group which is the complexification of a compact Lie group $K$. Let $M$ be a $\mathbb Q$-Fano $G$-compactification. In this paper, we first prove the uniqueness of $K\times K$-invariant (singular)…

We show that K-energy minimizing movements agree with smooth solutions to Calabi flow as long as the latter exist. As corollaries we conclude that in a general Kahler class long time solutions of Calabi flow minimize both K-energy and…

Let (X,L) be a polarized K\"ahler manifold that admits an extremal K\"ahler metric in c1(L). We show that on a nearby polarized deformation that preserves the symmetry induced by the extremal vector field of (X,L), the modified K-energy is…

We prove that for various polarized varieties over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, which broadly includes K-trivial case, K-ample case, Fano case, minimal models, certain classes of fibrations, certain metrized "minimal-like" models minimizes the…

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…

Based on Donaldson's method, we prove that, for an integral Kahler class, when there is a Kahler metric of constant scalar curvature, then it minimizes the K-energy. We do not assume that the automorphism group is discrete.
