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 paper, we prove Matsushima's theorem for K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on a Fano manifold with cone singularities along a smooth divisor that is not necessarily proportional to the anti-canonical class. We then give an alternative proof…

We give a new proof of the fact that the condition of a Fano manifold admitting a K\"ahler-Einstein metric is Zariski-open (provided that the automorphism group is discrete). This proof does not use the characterisation involving stability.…

The main purpose of the present paper is to investigate the symmetry properties of a K\"ahler manifold involving the Ricci tensor. In this context, the most symmetric manifolds are K\"ahler-Einstein spaces, and their natural generalizations…

In the first part of this paper we outline the constructions and properties of Fedosov star product and Berezin-Toeplitz star product. In the second part we outline the basic ideas and recent developments on Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture on…

We study the K\"ahler geometry of the classical Hurwitz space $\mathcal{H}^{n,b}$ of simple branched coverings of the Riemann sphere $\mathbb{P}^1$ by compact hyperbolic Riemann surfaces. A generalized Weil-Petersson metric on the Hurwitz…

In this short note we prove that a Kahler manifold with lower Ricci curvature bound and almost maximal volume is Gromov-Hausdorff close to the projective space with the Fubini-Study metric. This is done by combining the recent results of…

We construct a canonical Hausdorff complex analytic moduli space of Fano manifolds with K\"ahler-Ricci solitons. This naturally enlarges the moduli space of Fano manifolds with K\"ahler-Einstein metrics, which was constructed by Odaka and…

In this note we adapt the work of Hall to find quasi-Einstein metrics on sphere bundles over products of Fano Kaehler-Einstein manifolds, as well as bundles where only one end is blown down.

We prove the instability of conformally K\"ahler, compact or ALF Einstein 4-manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature which are not half conformally flat. This applies to all the known examples of gravitational instantons which are not…

This is the second of two papers studying both the geometric structure of Fano fibrations and the application to K\"ahler-Ricci flows developing a singularity in finite time. We assume that the K\"ahler-Ricci flow on a compact K\"ahler…

This is the first of a series of three papers which provide proofs of results announced recently in arXiv:1210.7494.

We relate the global log canonical threshold of a variety with torus action to the global log canonical threshold of its quotient. We apply this to certain Fano varieties and use Tian's criterion to prove the existence of Kahler-Einstein…

Using spin$^c$ structure we prove that K\"ahler-Einstein metrics with nonpositive scalar curvature are stable (in the direction of changes in conformal structures) as the critical points of the total scalar curvature functional. Moreover if…

In this paper we show that on a Fano manifold the convergence of the K\"ahler-Ricci flow to a K\"ahler-Einstein metric follows from the integrability of the $L^2$ norm of the Ricci potential for positive time.

Let $\mathcal{K}(n, V)$ be the set of $n$-dimensional compact Kahler-Einstein manifolds $(X, g)$ satisfying $Ric(g)= - g$ with volume bounded above by $V$. We prove that after passing to a subsequence, any sequence $\{ (X_j,…
