K-polystability of a polarised variety is an algebro-geometric notion conjecturally equivalent to the existence of a constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metric. When a variety is K-unstable, it is expected to admit a "most destabilising"…

We show that a polarised manifold with a constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metric and discrete automorphisms is K-stable. This refines the K-semistability proved by S. K. Donaldson.

We introduce a notion of K-semistability for Sasakian manifolds. This extends to the irregular case the orbifold K-semistability of Ross-Thomas. Our main result is that a Sasakian manifold with constant scalar curvature is necessarily…

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…

We express notions of K-stability of polarized spherical varieties in terms of combinatorial data, vastly generalizing the case of toric varieties. We then provide a combinatorial sufficient condition of G-uniform K-stability by studying…

We prove various results involving arcs - which generalise test configurations - within the theory of K-stability. Our main result characterises coercivity of the Mabuchi functional on spaces of Fubini-Study metrics in terms of uniform…

We prove that constant scalar curvature K\"ahler (cscK) manifolds with transcendental cohomology class are K-semistable, naturally generalising the situation for polarised manifolds. Relying on a very recent result by R. Berman, T. Darvas…

We introduce an analogue of Bridgeland's stability conditions for polarised varieties. Much as Bridgeland stability is modelled on slope stability of coherent sheaves, our notion of Z-stability is modelled on the notion of K-stability of…

We show that uniform K-stability is a Zariski open condition in Q-Gorenstein families of Q-Fano varieties. To prove this result, we consider the behavior of the stability threshold in families. The stability threshold (also known as the…

Assume that a projective variety together with a polarization is uniformly K-stable. If the polarization is canonical or anti-canonical, then the projective variety is uniformly K-stable with respects to any polarization sufficiently close…

In this paper, we shall show that a polarized algebraic manifold is K-stable if the polarization class admits a Kaehler metric of constant scalar curvature. This generalizes the results of Chen-Tian, Donaldson and Stoppa. (Parts of the…

Let k be an algebraically closed field and X a smooth projective k-variety. A famous theorem of A. A. Roitman states that the canonical map from the degree zero part of the Chow group of zero cycles on X to the group of k-points of its…

We prove that polarised manifolds that admit a constant scalar curvature K\"ahler (cscK) metric satisfy a condition we call slope semistability. That is, we define the slope $\mu$ for a projective manifold and for each of its subschemes,…

Given a one parameter flat family of polarized algebraic varieties, we show that any K-stable limit is unique. In particular, moduli spaces of K-stable polarized varieties are automatically Hausdorff when they exist. We also give a…

We prove that smooth, projective, $K$-trivial, weakly ordinary varieties over a perfect field of characteristic $p>0$ are not geometrically uniruled. We also show a singular version of our theorem, which is sharp in multiple aspects. Our…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of any characteristic. Let $X$ be a polarized irreducible smooth projective algebraic variety over $k$. We give criterion for semistability and stability of system of Hodge bundles on $X$. We define…

K-polystability is, on the one hand, conjecturally equivalent to the existence of certain canonical K\"ahler metrics on polarised varieties, and, on the other hand, conjecturally gives the correct notion to form moduli. We introduce a…

We provide an axiomatic framework for the study of smooth extensions of generalized cohomology theories. Our main results are about the uniqeness of smooth extensions, and the identification of the flat theory with the R/Z-theory. In…

We show that in any $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein flat family of klt singularities, normalized volumes are lower semicontinuous with respect to the Zariski topology. A quick consequence is that smooth points have the largest normalized volume…

An algebraic variety is said to have the $A_k$-property if any $k$ points are contained in some common affine open neighbourhood. A theorem of W{\l}odarczyk states that a normal variety has the $A_2$-property if and only if it admits a…
