As recently pointed out by Li and Xu, the definition of K-stability, and the author's proof of K-stability for cscK manifolds without holomorphic vector fields, need to be altered slightly: the Donaldson-Futaki invariant is positive for all…

A system of functional equations relating the Euler characteristics of moduli spaces of stable representations of quivers and the Euler characteristics of (Hilbert scheme-type) framed versions of quiver moduli is derived. This is applied to…

We prove a family of factorization formulas for the combinatorial Donaldson--Thomas invariant for an acyclic quiver. A quantum dilogarithm identity due to Reineke, later interpreted by Rimanyi by counting codimensions of quiver loci, gives…

We study the Futaki invariant and the Mabuchi K-energy of a K\"ahler manifold $M$ using the Deligne pairing technique developed in earlier papers. We first prove a rather simple characterization of the Futaki character: The Futaki character…

We present an elementary way of recovering a well-known criterion of K-stability for Fano reductive group compactifications.

We prove that Donaldson-Thomas type invariants are equal to weighted Euler characteristics of their moduli spaces. In particular, such invariants depend only on the scheme structure of the moduli space, not the symmetric obstruction theory…

For a small polarised deformation of a constant scalar curvature K\"ahler manifold, under some cohomological vanishing conditions, we prove that K-polystability along nearby polarisations implies the existence of a constant scalar curvature…

Given a Kaehler manifold polarised by a holomorphic ample line bundle, we consider the circle bundle associated to the polarisation with the induced transversal holomorphic structure. The space of contact structures compatible with this…

Let $X$ be a compact complex Calabi-Yau 4-fold. Under certain assumptions, we define Donaldson-Thomas type deformation invariants ($DT_{4}$ invariants) by studying moduli spaces of solutions to the Donaldson-Thomas equations on $X$. We also…

This article is a first step in establishing a link between the Donaldson polynomials and Seiberg-Witten invariants of a smooth 4-manifold.

Motivated by the S-duality conjecture, we study the Donaldson-Thomas invariants of the 2 dimensional Gieseker stable sheaves on a threefold. These sheaves are supported on the fibers of a nonsingular threefold X fibered over a nonsingular…

The purpose of the present paper is to set up a formalism inspired from non-Archimedean geometry to study K-stability. We first provide a detailed analysis of Duistermaat-Heckman measures in the context of test configurations,…

We prove structure theorems for the Donaldson invariants of 4-manifolds with b_+=1, similar to those of Kronheimer and Mrowka in the case b_+>1: We show that for a 4-manifold with b_+=1 and two different period points F, G on the boundary…

We study the algebraic properties of the generalized Futaki invariant of an almost Fano variety and prove that it is in fact a pushforward to a point of an appropriate equivariant Chow cohomology class of the variety. This allows us to use…

Futaki invariants of the classical moduli space of 4d N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories determine whether they have a conformal fixed point in the IR. We systematically compute the Futaki invariants for a large family of 4d N=1…

In alignment with a programme by Donaldson and Thomas [DT], Thomas [Th] constructed a deformation invariant for smooth projective Calabi-Yau threefolds, which is now called the Donaldson-Thomas invariant, from the moduli space of…

Based on the Cayley, Grothendieck, Knudsen Mumford theory of determinants we extend the CM polarization to the Hilbert scheme. We identify the weight of this refined line bundle with the generalized Futaki invariant of Donaldson. We are…

The Futaki invariant is a fundamental tool in K\"ahler geometry representing an obstruction to the existence of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics. Recently, it was generalized to compact complex manifolds. In this paper, we prove that it vanishes…

We compute the Donaldson-Thomas invariants of a local elliptic surface with section. We introduce a new computational technique which is a mixture of motivic and toric methods. This allows us to write the partition function for the…

In this paper we extend the notion of Futaki invariant to big and nef classes in such a way that it defines a continuous function on the \K\ cone up to the boundary. We apply this concept to prove that reduced normal crossing singularities…
