Ross and Thomas introduced the concept of slope stability to study K-stability, which has conjectural relation with the existence of constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metric. This paper presents a study of slope stability of Fano manifolds…

We explore connections between existence of $\Bbbk$-rational points for Fano varieties defined over $\Bbbk$, a subfield of $\mathbb{C}$, and existence of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on their geometric models. First, we show that geometric…

We show that the pair $(X, -K_X)$ is K-unstable for a del Pezzo manifold $X$ of degree five with dimension four or five. This disprove a conjecture of Odaka and Okada.

Let $X$ be a nonsingular complex projective toric variety. We address the question of semi-stability as well as stability for the tangent bundle $T{X}$. In particular, a complete answer is given when $X$ is a Fano toric variety of dimension…

By using the classification of Fano 3-folds we prove: Let $X$ be Fano 3-fold. Assume that the tangent bundle $T_X$ of $X$ is not stable (i.e. semi-stable or unstable). Then $b_2\geq 2$ and a relative tangent sheaf $T_{X/Y}$ of a contraction…

We determine the stability/instability of the tangent bundles of the Fano varieties in a certain class of two orbit varieties, which are classified by Pasquier in 2009. As a consequence, we show that some of these varieties admit unstable…

We consider slope stability of the canonical extension of the tangent bundle by the trivial line bundle and with the extension class c_1(T_X) on Picard-rank-1 Fano varieties. In cases where the index divides the dimension or the dimension…

We develop a general approach to prove K-stability of Fano varieties. The new theory is used to (a) prove the existence of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on all smooth Fano hypersurfaces of Fano index two, (b) to compute the stability thresholds…

We show that for a K-unstable Fano variety, any divisorial valuation computing its stability threshold induces a non-trivial special test configuration preserving the stability threshold. When such a divisorial valuation exists, we show…

Recently, Kanemitsu has discovered a counterexample to the long-standing conjecture that the tangent bundle of a Fano manifold of Picard number one is (semi)stable. His counterexample is a smooth horospherical variety. There is a weaker…

We develop a framework to study the K-stability of weighted Fano hypersurfaces based on a combination of birational and convex-geometric techniques. As an application, we prove that all quasi-smooth weighted Fano hypersurfaces of index 1…

We prove the conjectural Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality for tilt slope stable objects on each Fano threefold X of Picard number one. Based on the previous works on Bridgeland stability conditions, this induces an open subset of…

Motivated by the study of Fano type varieties we define a new class of log pairs that we call asymptotically log Fano varieties and strongly asymptotically log Fano varieties. We study their properties in dimension two under an additional…

We study K-stability of smooth Fano threefolds of Picard rank $2$ and degree $22$ which can be obtained by blowing up a smooth complete intersection of two quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^5$ along a conic. We also describe the automorphism groups…

We give new proofs of the K-polystability of two smooth Fano threefolds. One of them is a~smooth divisor in $\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^2$ of degree $(1,1,1)$, which is unique up to isomorphism. Another one is the~blow…

We introduce a new subclass of Fano varieties (Casagrande-Druel varieties), that are $n$-dimensional varieties constructed from Fano double covers of dimension $n-1$. We conjecture that a Casagrande-Druel variety is K-polystable if the…

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.

We give a lower bound of the $\delta$-invariants of ample line bundles in terms of Seshadri constants. As applications, we prove the uniform K-stability of infinitely many families of Fano hypersurfaces of arbitrarily large index, as well…

This four-pages note is an invitation to explore explicit K-stability for arbitrary K\"ahler classes of low dimension and low rank spherical varieties. We apply our simple combinatorial criterion of K-stability of rank one spherical…

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…
