Yau conjectured that a Fano manifold admits a Kahler-Einstein metric if and only if it is stable in the sense of geometric invariant theory. There has been much progress on this conjecture by Tian, Donaldson and others. The Mabuchi energy…

A result of Kento Fujita says that the volume of a K\"ahler-Einstein Fano manifold is bounded from above by the volume of the projective space. In this short note we establish quantized versions of Fujita's result.

We examine various examples of horosymmetric manifolds which exhibit interesting properties with respect to canonical metrics. In particular, we determine when the blow-up of a quadric along a linear subquadric admits K\"ahler-Einstein…

Polytropic stars are useful tools for learning about stellar structure without the complexity of comprehensive stellar models. These models rely on a certain power-law correlation between the star's pressure and density. This paper proposes…

Fano varieties are 'atomic pieces' of algebraic varieties, the shapes that can be defined by polynomial equations. We describe the role of computation and database methods in the construction and classification of Fano varieties, with an…

We show that there exist K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on two exceptional Pasquier's two-orbits varieties. As an application, we will provide a new example of K-unstable Fano manifold with Picard number one.

We explain a characterization of Einstein-Fano manifolds in terms of the lower bound of the density of the volume of the K\"ahler-Ricci Flow. This is a direct consequence of Perelman's uniform estimate for the K\"ahler-Ricci Flow and a…

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 show that certain Galois covers of K-semistable Fano varieties are K-stable. We use this to give some new examples of Fano manifolds admitting K\"ahler-Einstein metrics, including hypersurfaces, double solids and threefolds.

Let $X$ be a canonically polarized variety, i.e. a complex projective variety such that its canonical class $K_{X}$ defines an ample $\Q-$line bundle, and satisfying the conditions $G_1$ and $S_2$. Our main result says that $X$ admits a…

We are concerned in this article with a classical question in spectral geometry dating back to McKean-Singer, Patodi and Tanno: whether or not the constancy of holomorphic sectional curvature of a complex $n$-dimensional compact K\"ahler…

We give equivalent and sufficient criteria for the automorphism group of a complete toric variety, respectively a Gorenstein toric Fano variety, to be reductive. In particular we show that the automorphism group of a Gorenstein toric Fano…

We introduce a concept of minimality for Fano polygons. We show that, up to mutation, there are only finitely many Fano polygons with given singularity content, and give an algorithm to determine the mutation-equivalence classes of such…

In this paper, we show that along $\mathbb Q$-Fano fibration, when general fibres, base and central fiber (with at worst Kawamata log terminal singularities)are K-poly stable then there exists a relative K\"ahler-Einstein metric. We…

In this Thesis, I investigate how Fano manifolds equipped with a Kahler-Einstein metric can degenerate as metric spaces (in the Gromov-Hausdorff topology) and some of the relations of this question with Algebraic Geometry, in particular in…

A short proof of the convergence of the Kahler-Ricci flow on Fano manifolds admitting a Kahler-Einstein metric or a Kahler-Ricci soliton is given, using a variety of recent techniques

We prove the following result: if a $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano variety is uniformly K-stable, then it admits a K\"{a}hler-Einstein metric. We achieve this by modifying Berman-Boucksom-Jonsson's strategy with appropriate perturbative arguments and…

A Delaunay polytope $P$ is said to be {\em extreme} if the only (up to isometries) affine bijective transformations $f$ of $\R^n$, for which $f(P)$ is again a Delaunay polytope, are the homotheties. This notion was introduced in…

For any log Fano pair with a torus action, we associate a computable invariant to it, such that the pair is (weighted) K-polystable if and only if this invariant is greater than one. As an application, we present examples of Fano varieties…

We show that the K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on the four families of examples of symmetric toric Fano manifolds presented by Batyrev and Selivanova cannot be realized as metrics induced by immersions into projective spaces equipped with…
