It is shown that any, possibly singular, Fano variety X admitting a Kahler-Einstein metric is K-polystable, thus confirming one direction of the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture in the setting of Q-Fano varieties equipped with their…

We study a subclass of K\"ahler-Einstein Fano polygons and how they behave under mutation. The polygons of interest are K\"ahler-Einstein Fano triangles and symmetric Fano polygons. In particular, we find an explicit bound for the number of…

We investigate \emph{singular} symmetric and K\"ahler--Einstein Fano polytopes. More precisely, we show that every symmetric Fano polytope is K\"ahler--Einstein generalizing the work by Batyrev and Selivanova, and study the automorphism…

The wonderful compactification $X_m$ of a symmetric homogeneous space of type AIII$(2,m)$ for each $m \geq 4$ is Fano, and its blowup $Y_m$ along the unique closed orbit is Fano if $m \geq 5$ and Calabi-Yau if $m = 4$. Using a combinatorial…

Symmetric varieties are normal equivarient open embeddings of symmetric homogeneous spaces, and they are interesting examples of spherical varieties. We prove that all smooth Fano symmetric varieties with Picard number one admit…

We define a new notion of "b-stability" for a polarised algebraic variety, adapted to the existence problem for Kahler-Einstein metrics on Fano manifolds.

We show that the anti-canonical volume of an $n$-dimensional K\"ahler-Einstein $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano variety is bounded from above by certain invariants of the local singularities, namely $\mathrm{lct}^n\cdot\mathrm{mult}$ for ideals and the…

We prove a criterion for K-stability of a $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano spherical variety with respect to equivariant special test configurations, in terms of its moment polytope and some combinatorial data associated to the open orbit. Combined with…

We show that the complex projective space has maximal degree (volume) among all n-dimensional Kahler-Einstein Fano manifolds admitting a holomorphic C^*-action with a finite number of fixed points. The toric version of this result,…

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,…

We survey recent results on the existence of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on certain smoothable Fano varieties, focusing on the importance of such metrics in the construction of compact algebraic moduli spaces of K-polystable Fano varieties.…

We consider coupled K\"ahler-Einstein metrics and weighted solitons on Fano manifolds. These are natural generalizations of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics. As in the case of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics, the existence is known to be equivalent to…

We study global log canonical thresholds on anticanonically embedded quasismooth weighted Fano threefold hypersurfaces having terminal quotient singularities to prove the existence of a Kahler-Einstein metric on most of them, and to produce…

We propose new types of canonical metrics on K\"ahler manifolds, called coupled K\"ahler-Einstein metrics, generalizing K\"ahler-Einstein metrics. We prove existence and uniqueness results in the cases when the canonical bundle is ample and…

We prove a necessary and sufficient condition in terms of the barycenters of a collection of polytopes for existence of coupled K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on toric Fano manifolds. This confirms the toric case of a coupled version of the…

We apply the combinatorial theory of spherical varieties to characterize the momentum polytopes of polarized projective spherical varieties. This enables us to derive a classification of these varieties, without specifying the open orbit,…

Using Hultgren's polytope formulation of the existence of coupled K\"ahler-Einstein (cKE) metrics on toric Fano manifolds, we construct explicit higher-dimensional toric Fano manifolds that admit two coupled K\"ahler-Einstein metrics but no…

We give a criterion for the existence of a K\"ahler-Einstein metric on a Fano manifold $M$ in terms of the higher algebraic alpha-invariants $\alpha_{m,k}(M)$.

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…

Given a Fano manifold $(X,\omega)$ we develop a variational approach to characterize analytically the existence of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics with prescribed singularities, assuming that these singularities can be approximated algebraically.…
