We prove existence of Yamabe metrics on four-manifolds possessing finitely-many conical points with $\mathbb{Z}_2$-group, using for the first time a min-max scheme in the singular setting. In our variational argument we need to deform…

We partially confirm a conjecture of Donaldson relating the greatest Ricci lower bound $R(X)$ to the existence of conical Kahler-Einstein metrics on a Fano manifold $X$. In particular, if $D\in |-K_X|$ is a smooth simple divisor and the…

We prove that the existence of a Kahler-Einstein metric on a Fano manifold is equivalent to the properness of the energy functionals defined by Bando, Chen, Ding, Mabuchi and Tian on the set of Kahler metrics with positive Ricci curvature.…

We prove the uniqueness, up to a pull-back by an element of a suitable subgroup of complex automorphisms, of the weighted extremal K\"ahler metrics on a compact K\"ahler manifold introduced in our previous work. This extends a result by…

Motivated by the notion of multiplier Hermitian-Einstein metric of type $\sigma$ introduced by Mabuchi, we introduce the notion of $\sigma$-extremal K\"{a}hler metrics on compact K\"{a}hler manifolds, which generalizes Calabi's extremal…

We prove that admissible functions for Fubini-Study metrics on the complex projective space $P_{m}C$, of complex dimension $m$, invariant by a convenient automorphisms group, are lower bounded by a function going to minus infinity on the…

Using the Yau-Tian-Donaldson type correspondence for $v$-solitons established by Han-Li, we show that a smooth complex $n$-dimensional Fano variety admits a Mabuchi soliton provided it admits an extremal K\"ahler metric whose scalar…

For $\phi$ a metric on the anticanonical bundle, $-K_X$, of a Fano manifold $X$ we consider the volume of $X$ $$ \int_X e^{-\phi}. $$ We prove that the logarithm of the volume is concave along continuous geodesics in the space of positively…

We study the asymptotic behavior of quantized Ding functionals along Bergman geodesic rays and prove that the slope at infinity can be expressed in terms of Donaldson-Futaki invariants and Chow weights. Based on the slope formula, we…

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…

The parametrisation method for invariant manifolds is a powerful technique for deriving reduced-order models in the context of nonlinear vibrating systems, allowing accurate computations of nonlinear normal modes. Thanks to arbitrary order…

The purpose of this paper is to generalize the convexity of Mabuchi's functional to the conic setting. We first established a frame to study conic cscK metrics, and then the conic Mabuchi functional was introduced in such a way that conic…

Let $X$ be an asymptotically hyperbolic manifold and $M$ its conformal infinity. This paper is devoted to deduce several existence results of the fractional Yamabe problem on $M$ under various geometric assumptions on $X$ and $M$: Firstly,…

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 show that if a Fano manifold has discrete automorphism group and admits a polarized K\"ahler-Einstein metric, then there exists a sequence of anticanonically balanced metrics converging smoothly to the K\"ahler-Einstein metric. Our proof…

We prove certain weak or idealized existence results for minimizers of the natural quadratic curvature functionals on the space of metrics on 4-manifolds. Overall, we try to exhibit the relations with the picture in 3-dimensions provided by…

We obtain a compactness result for various classes of Riemannian metrics in dimension four; in particular our method applies to anti-self-dual metrics, Kahler metrics with constant scalar curvature, and metrics with harmonic curvature. With…

We prove various results involving arcs - which generalise test configurations - within the theory of K-stability. Our main result characterises coercivity of the Mabuchi functional on spaces of Fubini-Study metrics in terms of uniform…

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…
