Given $(X,\omega)$ compact K\"ahler manifold and $\psi\in\mathcal{M}^{+}\subset PSH(X,\omega)$ a model type envelope with non-zero mass, i.e. a fixed potential determing some singularities such that $\int_{X}(\omega+dd^{c}\psi)^{n}>0$, we…
Donaldson conjectured \cite{Dona96} that the space of K\"ahler metrics is geodesic convex by smooth geodesic and that it is a metric space. Following Donaldson's program, we verify the second part of Donaldson's conjecture completely and…
