The Ricci Calabi functional is a functional on the space of K\"ahler metrics of Fano manifolds. Its critical points are called generalized K\"ahler Einstein metrics. In this article, we show that the Hessian of the Ricci Calabi functional…

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…

In this note we give a characterization of Kaehler metrics which are both Calabi extremal and Kaehler-Ricci solitons in terms of complex Hessians and the Riemann curvature tensor. We apply it to prove that, under the assumption of…

In this note we use the Calabi ansatz, in the context of metrics with conical singularities along a divisor, to produce regular Calabi-Yau cones and K\"ahler-Einstein metrics of negative Ricci with a cuspidal point. As an application, we…

We identify a set of "energy" functionals on the space of metrics in a given Kaehler class on a Calabi-Yau manifold, which are bounded below and minimized uniquely on the Ricci-flat metric in that class. Using these functionals, we recast…

Special Ricci-Hessian equations on K\"ahler manifolds $(M,g)$, as defined by Maschler [Ann. Global Anal. Geom. 34 (2008), 367--380] involve functions $\tau$ on $M$ and state that, for some function $\alpha$ of the real variable $\tau$, the…

We prove a compactness theorem for K\"ahler metrics with various bounds on Ricci curvature and the $\mathcal I$ functional. We explore applications of our result to the continuity method and the Calabi flow.

This note studies the equivalencies among convergences of Ricci-flat K\"{a}hler-Einstein metrics on Calabi-Yau manifolds, cohomology classes and potential functions.

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…

The quantization in quadratic order of the Hitchin functional, which defines by critical points a Calabi-Yau structure on a six-dimensional manifold, is performed. The conjectured relation between the topological B-model and the Hitchin…

An explicit seminorm $||f||_{#}$ on the vector space of Chow vectors of projective varieties is introduced, and shown to be a generalized Mabuchi energy functional for Chow varieties. The singularities of the Chow varieties give rise to…

This paper investigates the twisted Calabi functional and the associated twisted Calabi flow on compact K\"ahler manifolds. Our main contributions are threefold: first, we establish the convexity of the twisted Calabi functional at its…

We show that transverse coupled K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on toric Sasaki manifolds arise as a critical point of a volume functional. As a preparation for the proof, we re-visit the transverse moment polytopes and contact moment polytopes…

We study rigidity results for the Einstein metrics as the critical points of a family of known quadratic curvature functionals involving the scalar curvature, the Ricci curvature and the Riemannian curvature tensor, characterized by some…

We consider the space of Kahler metrics as a Riemannian submanifold of the space of Riemannian metrics, and study the associated submanifold geometry. In particular, we show that the intrinsic and extrinsic distance functions are…

Hermitian, pluriclosed metrics with vanishing Bismut-Ricci form give a natural extension of Calabi-Yau metrics to the setting of complex, non-K\"ahler manifolds, and arise independently in mathematical physics. We reinterpret this condition…

The requirement that a (non-Einstein) K\"ahler metric in any given complex dimension $m>2$ be almost-everywhere conformally Einstein turns out to be much more restrictive, even locally, than in the case of complex surfaces. The local…

We provide a moment map interpretation for the coupled K\"ahler-Einstein equations introduced by Hultgren and Witt Nystr\"om, and in the process introduce a more general system of equations, which we call coupled cscK equations. A…

Drawing on results of Derdzi\'nski's from the 80's, we classify conformally K\"ahler, $U(2)$-invariant, Einstein metrics on the total space of $\mathcal{O}(-m)$, for all $m \in \mathbb{N}$. This yields infinitely many $1$-parameter families…
