Using Perelman's results on Kahler Ricci flow, we prove that the K energy is bounded from below if and only if the F functional is bounded from below in the canonical Kahler class.

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…

In this note we give a simplified proof of a recent result of X.X. Chen, which together with work of G. Szekelyhidi implies that on a sufficiently small deformation of a polarized constant scalar curvature Kahler manifold the K-energy has a…

We prove that the existence of a Kahler-Einstein metric on a Fano manifold is equivalent to the properness of the energy functionals defined by Bando, Chen, Ding, Mabuchi and Tian on the set of Kahler metrics with positive Ricci curvature.…

Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold with a given ample line bundle $L$. In \cite{Don05}, Donaldson proved that the Calabi energy of a K\"ahler metric in $c_1(L)$ is bounded from below by the supremum of a normalized version of the minus…

In this paper we shall give an analytic proof of the fact that the Liouville energy on a topological two sphere is bounded from below. Our proof does not rely on the uniformization theorem and the Onofri inequality, thus it is essentially…

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.

Let X be a projective manifold. We prove that the Mabuchi Energy of X is bounded below on all degenerations in B (the space of Bergman metrics) if and only if it is bounded below uniformly on B.

We consider an energy functional motivated by the celebrated $K_{13}$ problem in the Oseen-Frank theory of nematic liquid crystals. It is defined for sphere-valued functions and appears as the usual Dirichlet energy with an additional…

The goal of this short note is to point out that every Fano manifold with a nef tangent bundle possesses an almost K{\"a}hler-Einstein metric, in a weak sense. The technique relies on a regularization theorem for closed positive (1,…

For a smooth projective variety whose anti-canonical bundle is nef, we prove confluence of the small $K$-theoretic $J$-function, i.e., after rescaling appropriately the Novikov variables, the small $K$-theoretic $J$-function has a limit…

We show that the $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano index of a canonical weak Fano $3$-fold is at most $66$. This upper bound is optimal and gives an affirmative answer to a conjecture of Chengxi Wang in dimension $3$. During the proof, we establish a new…

We show that for a $\mathbb Q$-factorial canonical Fano $3$-fold $X$ of Picard number $1$, $(-K_X)^3\leq 72$. The main tool is a Kawamata--Miyaoka type inequality which relates $(-K_X)^3$ with $\hat{c}_2(X)\cdot c_1(X)$, where…

In this paper, we study Mabuchi's K-energy on a compactification M of a reductive Lie group G, which is a complexification of its maximal compact subgroup K. We give a criterion for the properness of K-energy on the space of K \times…

We estimate an upper bound of the spectral radius of a linear operator on the quantum cohomology of the toric Fano manifolds $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{P}^{n}}(\mathcal{O}\oplus\mathcal{O}(3))$. This provides a negative answer to Galkin's lower…

We give a sharp lower bound for the energy in homotopy classes of mappings from real projective space to Riemannian manifolds, together with an upper bound for its infimum. We characterize the maps which attain this lower bound for energy,…

We show that $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano varieties of fixed dimension with anti-canonical degrees and alpha-invariants bounded from below form a bounded family. As a corollary, K-semistable $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano varieties of fixed dimension with…

We give a criterion for the coercivity of the Mabuchi functional for general K\"ahler classes on Fano manifolds in terms of Tian's alpha invariant. This generalises a result of Tian in the anti-canonical case implying the existence of a…

Let $X$ be a Fano manifold of Picard number one. We establish a lower bound for the second Chern class of $X$ in terms of its index and degree. As an application, if $Y$ is a $n$-dimensional Fano manifold with $-K_Y=(n-3)H$ for some ample…

We provide a new proof of a result of X.X.Chen and G.Tian : for a polarized extremal K\"ahler manifold, an extremal metric attains the minimum of the modified K-energy. The proof uses an idea of C.Li adapted to the extremal metrics using…
