In this paper, we study the stability of the conical K\"ahler-Ricci flows on Fano manifolds. That is, if there exists a conical K\"ahler-Einstein metric with cone angle $2\pi\beta$ along the divisor, then for any $\beta'$ sufficiently close…
The limiting behavior of the normalized K\"ahler-Ricci flow for manifolds with positive first Chern class is examined under certain stability conditions. First, it is shown that if the Mabuchi K-energy is bounded from below, then the scalar…
We establish the essentially optimal form of Donaldson's geodesic stability conjecture regarding existence of constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metrics. We carry this out by exploring in detail the metric geometry of Mabuchi geodesic rays,…
We prove the existence of Kahler-Einstein metric on a K-stable Fano manifold using the recent compactness result on Kahler-Ricci flows. The key ingredient is an algebro-geometric description of the asymptotic behavior of Kahler-Ricci flow…
Suppose $(X,\omega)$ is a compact K\"ahler manifold. We introduce and explore the metric geometry of the $L^{p,q}$-Calabi Finsler structure on the space of K\"ahler metrics $\mathcal H$. After noticing that the $L^{p,q}$-Calabi and…
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 bounded geodesics in the space of positively…
The purpose of this paper is to investigate canonical metrics on a semi-stable vector bundle E over a compact Kahler manifold X. It is shown that, if E is semi-stable, then Donaldson's functional is bounded from below. This implies that E…
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…
Consider a polarized complex manifold (X,L) and a ray of positive metrics on L defined by a positive metric on a test configuration for (X,L). For most of the common functionals in K\"ahler geometry, we prove that the slope at infinity…
In this paper, we the improve the bound for the moment map derivative proved by Donaldson in his recent proof of the Hilbert-Mumford stability of complex manifolds with constant scalar curvature. The proof depends on the identification of…
In this paper, we solve a problem of Kobayashi posed in \cite{Ko4} by introducing a Donaldson type functional on the space $F^+(E)$ of strongly pseudo-convex complex Finsler metrics on $E$ -- a holomorphic vector bundle over a closed…
Motivated by the problem of finding constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metrics, we investigate a Ricci iteration sequence of Rubinstein that discretizes the pseudo-Calabi flow. While the long time existence of the flow is still an open…
As a generalization of Kahler-Einstein metrics for Fano manifolds with nonvanishing Futaki invariant, Mabuchi solitons are critical points of a Calabi-type energy functional. We study their existence on toric Fano varieties and the…
We first define Pseudo-Calabi flow, as {equation*} {{aligned}{{\partial \varphi}\over {\partial t}}&= -f(\varphi), \triangle_varphi f(\varphi) &= S(\varphi) - \ul S.{aligned}. \end{equation*} Then we prove the well-posedness of this flow…
Let $(M,g)$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold and $f$ a positive smooth function such that its Hamiltonian vector field $K = J\mathrm{grad}_g f$ for the K\"ahler form $\omega_g$ is a holomorphic Killing vector field. We say that the pair…
The J-flow is a parabolic flow on Kahler manifolds. It was defined by Donaldson in the setting of moment maps and by Chen as the gradient flow of the J-functional appearing in his formula for the Mabuchi energy. It is shown here that under…
We derive expressions for the Ricci curvature tensor and scalar in terms of intrinsic torsion classes of half-flat manifolds by exploiting the relationship between half-flat manifolds and non-compact $G_2$ holonomy manifolds. Our…
We apply the integral formula of volumes to the family of graded linear series constructed from any test configuration. This solves the conjecture raised by Witt--Nystr\"{o}m so that the sequence of spectral measures for the induced…
We prove the longtime existence and convergence of the Calabi flow on toric Fano surfaces in a large family of Kahler classes where the class has positive extremal Hamiltonian potential and the initial Calabi energy is bounded by some…
