The goal of this note is to study the analog in unstable ${{\mathbb A}^1}$-homotopy theory of the unit map from the motivic sphere spectrum to the Hermitian K-theory spectrum, i.e., the degree map in Hermitian K-theory. We show that "Suslin…

We show relationships between uniform K-stability and plt blowups of log Fano pairs. We see that it is enough to evaluate certain invariants defined by volume functions for all plt blowups in order to test uniform K-stability of log Fano…

In the present paper and the companion paper [8] a probabilistic (statistical mechanical) approach to the study of canonical metrics and measures on a complex algebraic variety X is introduced. On any such variety with positive Kodaira…

In this paper, we prove the openness of K-semistability in families of log Fano pairs by showing that the stability threshold is a constructible function on the fibers. We also prove that any special test configuration arises from a log…

We extend our recent work with K. Zumbrun on long-time stability of multi-dimensional noncharacteristic viscous boundary layers of a class of symmetrizable hyperbolic-parabolic systems. Our main improvements are (i) to establish the…

Using the Abban-Zhuang theory and the classification of three-dimensional log smooth log Fano pairs due to Maeda, we prove that threefold log Fano pairs $(X, D)$ of Maeda type with reducible boundary $D$ are K-unstable, with four…

We prove that every projectively normal Fano manifold in $\mathbb{P}^{n+r}$ of index $1$, codimension $r$ and dimension $n\geq 10r$ is birationally superrigid and K-stable. This result was previously proved by Zhuang under the complete…

Let $(X, \Delta)$ be a log Fano pair with standard coefficients endowed with a singular K\"ahler--Einstein metric. We show that the adapted tangent sheaf $\mathcal{T}_{X, \Delta, f}$ and the adapted canonical extension $\mathcal{E}_{X,…

This four-pages note is an invitation to explore explicit K-stability for arbitrary K\"ahler classes of low dimension and low rank spherical varieties. We apply our simple combinatorial criterion of K-stability of rank one spherical…

We introduce a non-perturbative renormalization approach which identifies stable fixed points in any dimension for the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang dynamics of rough surfaces. The usual limitations of real space methods to deal with anisotropic…

We prove some stability results for smooth H-minimal hypersurfaces immersed in a sub-Riemannian k-step Carnot group G. The main tools are the formulas for the 1st and 2nd variation of the H-perimeter measure.

In this paper, we discuss the relative $K$-stability and the modified $K$-energy associated to the Calabi's extremal metric on toric manifolds. We give a sufficient condition in the sense of convex polytopes associated to toric manifolds…

While it is well known that nonlinear methods of approximation can often perform dramatically better than linear methods, there are still questions on how to measure the optimal performance possible for such methods. This paper studies…

Let X be a smooth projective Berkovich space over a complete discrete valuation field K of residue characteristic zero, and assume that X is defined over a function field admitting K as a completion. Let further m be a positive measure on X…

Inspired by Fujita's algebro-geometric result that complex projective space has maximal degree among all K-semistable complex Fano varieties, we conjecture that the height of a K-semistable metrized arithmetic Fano variety X of relative…

We revisit the problem of stability of string vacua involving hyperbolic orbifolds using methods from homotopy theory and K-homology. We propose a definition of Type II string theory on such backgrounds that further carry stratified systems…

We prove singularity criteria for the $t$-K-stability of adjoint foliated structures. We first show that K-semistability of adjoint foliated structures implies log canonicity by extending Odaka's flag ideal characterisation of the mixed…

We prove two new results on the K-polystability of Q-Fano varieties based on purely algebro-geometric arguments. The first one says that any K-semistable log Fano cone has a special degeneration to a uniquely determined K-polystable log…

We study the probability that an $(n - m)$-dimensional linear subspace in $\mathbb{P}^n$ or a collection of points spanning such a linear subspace is contained in an $m$-dimensional variety $Y \subset \mathbb{P}^n$. This involves a strategy…

A stability criterion is derived for self-similar solutions with perfect fluids which obey the equation of state $P=k\rho$ in general relativity. A wide class of self-similar solutions turn out to be unstable against the so-called kink…
