In K-stability, the delta invariant of a Fano variety encodes the existence of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics. We introduce a weighted analytic delta invariant, and a reduced version, that characterize the existence of weighted solitons. We…
We present explicit constructions of complete Ricci-flat Kahler metrics that are asymptotic to cones over non-regular Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. The metrics are constructed from a complete Kahler-Einstein manifold (V,g_V) of positive Ricci…
The goal of this short note is to point out that every Fano manifold with a nef tangent bundle possesses an almost K{\"a}hler-Einstein metric, in a weak sense. The technique relies on a regularization theorem for closed positive (1,…
The existence of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on a compact K\"ahler manifold has been the subject of intensive study over the last few decades, following Yau's solution to Calabi's conjecture. The Ricci flow, introduced by Richard Hamilton has…
The linear stability of warped product Einstein metrics as fixed points of the Ricci flow is investigated. We generalise the results of Gibbons, Hartnoll and Pope and show that in sufficiently low dimensions, all warped product Einstein…
This is a continuation of the work of Arezzo-Pacard-Singer and the author on blowups of extremal K\"ahler manifolds. We prove the conjecture stated in [32], and we relate this result to the K-stability of blown up manifolds. As an…
We study some estimates along the Kahler Ricci flow on Fano manifolds. Using these estimates, we show the convergence of Kahler Ricci flow directly if the $\alpha$-invariant of the canonical class is greater than $\frac{n}{n+1}$. Applying…
We show that the blowup of an extremal Kahler manifold at a relatively stable point in the sense of GIT admits an extremal metric in Kahler classes that make the exceptional divisor sufficiently small, extending a result of…
The existence of Kahler-Einstein metrics on a Fano manifold is characterized in terms of a uniform gap between 0 and the first positive eigenvalue of the Cauchy-Riemann operator on smooth vector fields. It is also characterized by a similar…
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…
S. K. Donaldson asked whether the lower bound of the Calabi functional is achieved by a sequence the normalized Donaldson-Futaki invariants. We answer the question for the Ricci curvature formalism, in place of the scalar curvature. The…
Let $X$ be a Fano manifold of dimension at least $2$ and $D$ be a smooth divisor in a multiple of the anticanonical class, $\frac1\alpha(-K_X)$ with $\alpha>1$. It is well-known that K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on $X$ with conic singularities…
We introduce a holomorphic sheaf E on a Sasaki manifold and study two new notions of stability for E along the Sasaki-Ricci flow related to the `jumping up' of the number of global holomorphic sections of E at infinity. First, we show that…
We prove that metric measure spaces obtained as limits of closed Riemannian manifolds with Ricci curvature satisfying a uniform Kato bound are rectifiable. In the case of a non-collapsing assumption and a strong Kato bound, we additionally…
Inspired by the MacDowell-Mansouri formulation of four-dimensional General Relativity, we study a class of four-dimensional gauge-theoretic functionals obtained from the Pontryagin density of a G-connection by inserting, under the trace, a…
Tian's criterion for K-stability states that a Fano variety of dimension $n$ whose alpha invariant is greater than $\frac{n}{n+1}$ is K-stable. We show that this criterion is sharp by constructing singular Fano varieties with alpha…
This is the first of a sequence of two papers. Here, a simple algebraic characterization of the Fano manifolds in the class of homogeneous toric bundles over a flag manifold G^C/P is provided in terms of symplectic data. The result of this…
We present an elementary way of recovering a well-known criterion of K-stability for Fano reductive group compactifications.
This work proves certain general orbifold compactness results for spaces of Riemannian metrics, generalizing earlier results along these lines for Einstein metrics or metrics with bounded Ricci curvature. This is then applied to prove such…
We study the modified Ricci solitons as a new class of Einstein type metrics that contains both Ricci solitons and $n$-quasi-Einstein metrics. This class is closely related to the construction of the Ricci solitons that are realised as…
