𝐾-stability on toric manifolds

Abstract

In this note, we prove that on polarized toric manifolds the relative <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper K"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>K</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">K</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula>-stability with respect to Donaldson’s toric degenerations is a necessary condition for the existence of Calabi’s extremal metrics, and we also show that the modified <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper K"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>K</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">K</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula>-energy is proper in the space of <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper G 0"> <mml:semantics> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>G</mml:mi> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> </mml:msub> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">G_0</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula>-invariant Kähler potentials in the case of toric surfaces which admit the extremal metrics.
