The Space of Kähler Metrics

Abstract: Donaldson conjectured [14] that the space of Kähler metrics is geodesic convex by smooth geodesic and that it is a metric space. Following Donaldson's program, we verify the second part of Donaldson's conjecture completely and verify his first part partially. We also prove that the constant scalar curvature metric is unique in each Kähler class if the first Chern class is either strictly negative or 0. Furthermore, if C1 ≤ 0, the constant scalar curvature metric realizes the global minimum of Mabuchi energy fu… Show more

“…Now let h 0 , h 1 ∈ H. It is known by the work of Chen [5] (see also more recent progress in Donaldson [13] and Chen-Tian [6]) that there is a unique C 1,1 geodesic h : [0, 1] → H joining h 0 to h 1 . As discussed in Donaldson [10] the optimal regularity properties of this geodesic are of considerable interest.…”

“…Kolodziej ([29,30]) proved the existence and Hölder estimate of solution to the complex Monge-Ampère equation when the right hand side is a nonnegative L p function for p > 1. There are further existence and regularity results on the complex Monge-Ampère equation with right hand side less regular or degenerate, see references [3,13,26,4,52,43,27,20,19,22] for details.…”

“…However, even if we obtained a C 1,1 minimizer of the K-energy functional, we would still face the regularity problem. In [8], the first named author made the following conjecture: Any C 1,1 minimizers of the K-energy in a given Kähler class must be smooth. As a consequence of the above theorem, we can solve this conjecture in canonically polarized cases.…”

“…It was known that any Kähler metric with constant scalar curvature is the absolute minimizer of the K-energy on the space of all Kähler metrics with a fixed Kähler class ( [8], [18], [24] and [9]) 1 . From an analytic point of view, it is an extremely difficult problem to prove the existence of a Kähler metric with constant scalar curvature in general cases.…”
