We study the algebraic properties of the generalized Futaki invariant of an almost Fano variety and prove that it is in fact a pushforward to a point of an appropriate equivariant Chow cohomology class of the variety. This allows us to use…

It is known that a necessary condition for the existence of K\"ahler-Ricci solitons is the vanishing of the modified Futaki invariant introduced by Tian-Zhu. In a recent work of Berman-Nystr\"om, it was generalized for (singular) Fano…

Futaki invariants of the classical moduli space of 4d N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories determine whether they have a conformal fixed point in the IR. We systematically compute the Futaki invariants for a large family of 4d N=1…

In this paper, the Bando-Futaki invariants on hypersurfaces are derived in terms of the degree of the defining polynomials, the dimension of the underlying projective space, and the given holomorphic vector field. In addition, the…

We generalize Givental's Theorem for complete intersections in smooth toric varieties in the Fano case. In particular, we find Gromov--Witten invariants of Fano varieties of dimension $\geq 3$, which are complete intersections in weighted…

We present some applications of the deformation theory of toric Fano varieties to K-(semi/poly)stability of Fano varieties. First, we present two examples of K-polystable toric Fano 3-fold with obstructed deformations. In one case, the…

In this note we revisit and extend few classical and recent results on the definition and use of the Futaki invariant in connection with the existence problem for Kaehler constant scalar curvature metrics on polarized algebraic manifolds,…

In this paper, we give a tropical method for computing Gromov-Witten type invariants of Fano manifolds of special type. This method applies to those Fano manifolds which admit toric degenerations to toric Fano varieties with singularities…

We introduce a generalization of the Dijkgraaf-Witten invariants for cusped or compact oriented 3-manifolds. We show that the generalized DW invariants distinguish some pairs of cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds with the same hyperbolic volumes…

We generalized the construction of deformations of affine toric varieties of K. Altmann and our previous construction of deformations of weak Fano toric varieties to the case of arbitrary toric varieties by introducing the notion of…

We introduce the notion of infinitesimal variations of mixed Hodge structures and invariants associated to them. We describe these invariants in the case of a pair $(X,Y)$ with $X$ a Fano 3-fold and $Y$ a smooth anticanonical K3 surface and…

In this paper, we give an explicit formula for the Futaki invariants of complete intersections. The result is new in the case where the variety is smooth or has orbifold singularities.

We extend the Altmann--Mavlyutov construction of homogeneous deformations of affine toric varieties to the case of toric pairs $(X, \partial X)$, where $X$ is an affine or projective toric variety and $\partial X$ is its toric boundary. As…

We solve the infinitesimal Torelli problem for $3$-dimensional quasi-smooth ${\mathbb{Q}}$-Fano hypersurfaces with at worst terminal singularities. We also find infinite chains of double coverings of increasing dimension which alternatively…

A theory of finite type invariants for arbitrary compact oriented 3-manifolds is proposed, and illustrated through many examples arising from both classical and quantum topology. The theory is seen to be highly non-trivial even for…

Splitting invariants describe how a plane curve "splits" by the pull-back under a Galois cover over the projective plane whose branch locus contains no component of the plane curve. They enable us to distinguish the embedded topology of…

For an arbitrary smooth n-dimensional Fano variety $X$ we introduce the notion of a small toric degeneration. Using small toric degenerations of Fano n-folds $X$, we propose a general method for constructing mirrors of Calabi-Yau complete…

We prove a generalization of the algebraic version of Tian conjecture. Precisely, for any smooth strictly increasing function $g:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}_{>0}$ with ${\rm log}\circ g$ convex, we define the $\mathbf{H}^g$-invariant on a Fano…

Kawakami and the author showed that a projective variety with an int-amplified endomorphism of degree invertible in the base field satisfies Bott vanishing. That was a new way to analyze which varieties have nontrivial endomorphisms. In…

We extend the deformation to the normal cone and tangent groupoid constructions from finite-dimensional manifolds to infinite-dimensional Banach and Fredholm manifolds. Next, we generalize the concept of Fredholm filtrations to get a more…
