We study singular K\"ahler-Einstein metrics that are obtained as non-collapsed limits of polarized K\"ahler-Einstein manifolds. Our main result is that if the metric tangent cone at a point is locally isomorphic to the germ of the…

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 show that a K\"ahler-Ricci soliton on a Fano manifold can always be smoothly approximated by a sequence of relative anticanonically balanced metrics, also called quantized K\"ahler-Ricci solitons. The proof uses a semiclassical estimate…

We study Fano manifolds of pseudoindex greater than one and dimension greater than five, which are blow-ups of smooth varieties along smooth centers of dimension equal to the pseudoindex of the manifold. We obtain a classification of the…

We show that if on a compact Kahler threefold there is a solution of the Kahler-Ricci flow which encounters a finite time collapsing singularity, then the manifold admits a Fano fibration. Furthermore, if there is finite time extinction…

We describe recent progress in a program to understand the classification of three-dimensional Fano varieties with $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial terminal singularities using mirror symmetry. As part of this we give an improved and more conceptual…

We give a classification of Gorenstein Fano bi-equivariant compactifications of semisimple complex Lie groups with rank two, and determine which of them are equivariant K-stable and admit (singular) K\"{a}hler-Einstein metrics. As a…

There exist exactly 166 4-dimensional reflexive polytopes such that the corresponding 4-dimensional Gorenstein toric Fano varieties have at worst terminal singularities in codimension 3 and their anticanonical divisor is divisible by 2. For…

It is known that every integral convex polytope is unimodularly equivalent to a face of some Gorenstein Fano polytope. It is then reasonable to ask whether every normal polytope is unimodularly equivalent to a face of some normal Gorenstein…

We classify smooth toric Fano varieties of dimension $n\geq 3$ containing a toric divisor isomorphic to $\PP^{n-1}$. As a consequence of this classification, we show that any smooth complete toric variety $X$ of dimension $n\geq 3$ with a…

By extending the notion of simple type for the Seiberg--Witten invariant of a 4-manifold, we introduce notions of BF blowup simple type and BF homogeneous type for the Bauer--Furuta invariant and study their applications. Specifically, we…

We prove the Yau-Tian-Donaldson's conjecture for any $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano variety that has a log smooth resolution of singularities such that the discrepancies of all exceptional divisors are non-positive. In other words, if such a Fano…

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…

Let $X$ be a normal compact K\"ahler space of dimension $n$. A surjective endomorphism $f$ of such $X$ is int-amplified if $f^*\xi-\xi=\eta$ for some K\"ahler classes $\xi$ and $\eta$. First, we show that this definition generalizes the…

A reverse H\"older inequality is established on the space of K\"ahler metrics in the first Chern class of a Fano manifold X endowed with Darvas L^{p}-Finsler metrics. The inequality holds under a uniform bound on a twisted Ricci potential…

We construct several new families of Fano varieties of K3 type. We give a geometrical explanation of the K3 structure and we link some of them to projective families of irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds.

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 show that the global log canonical threshold of generic Fano complete intersections of index 1 and codimension $k$ in ${\mathbb P}^{M+k}$ is equal to 1 if $M\geqslant 3k+4$ and the highest degree of defining equations is at least 8. This…

Let $G$ be a complex, connect reductive Lie group which is the complexification of a compact Lie group $K$. Let $M$ be a $\mathbb Q$-Fano $G$-compactification. In this paper, we first prove the uniqueness of $K\times K$-invariant (singular)…

We prove two new results on the K-polystability of Q-Fano varieties based on purely algebro-geometric arguments. The first one says that any K-semistable log Fano cone has a special degeneration to a uniquely determined K-polystable log…
