For any complex manifold of Kähler type, the L2-norm of the scalar curvature of an extremal Kähler metric is a continuous function of the Kähler class. In particular, if a convergent sequence of Kähler classes are represented by extremal Kähler metrics, the corresponding sequence of L2-norms of the scalar curvatures is convergent. Similarly, the sequence of holomorphic vector fields associated with a sequence of extremal Kähler metrics with converging Kähler classes is convergent.

Kahler Metric

For an integral Kähler class on a compact connected complex manifold, an extremal Kähler metric, if any, in the class is unique up to the action of Aut 0(M). This generalizes a recent result of Donaldson (see [4] for cases of metrics of constant scalar curvature) and that of Chen [3] for c1(M)≤0.

Compact Kähler Manifold

Let X be a compact Kähler manifold and γ Kähler class. For a Kàhler metric g on X we denote by Rg the scalar curvature on X According to Calabi [3][4], consider the functional defined on the set of all the Kähler metrics g whose Kähler forms belong to γ, where dvg is the volume form associated to g. Such a Kähler metric is called extremal if it gives a critical point of Ф. In particular, if Rg is constant, g is extremal. The converse is also true if dim L(X) = 0, where L(X) is the maximal connected linear algebraic subgroup of AutoX (cf. [5]). Note also that any Kähler-Einstein metric is of constant scalar curvature.

Abstract In this paper we study K-polystability of arbitrary (possibly non-projective) compact Kähler manifolds admitting holomorphic vector fields. As a main result we show that existence of a constant scalar curvature Kähler (cscK) metric implies geodesic K-polystability, in a sense that is expected to be equivalent to K-polystability in general. In particular, in the spirit of an expectation of Chen–Tang [28] we show that geodesic K-polystability implies algebraic K-polystability for polarized manifolds, so our main result recovers a possibly stronger version of results of Berman–Darvas–Lu [10] in this case. As a key part of the proof we also study subgeodesic rays with singularity type prescribed by singular test configurations and prove a result on asymptotics of the K-energy functional along such rays. In an appendix by R. Dervan it is moreover deduced that geodesic K-polystability implies equivariant K-polystability. This improves upon the results of [39] and proves that existence of a cscK (or extremal) Kähler metric implies equivariant K-polystability (resp. relative K-stability).

Kählerian Manifold

Fix a positive (1, 1)-class on a compact Kählerian manifold. Given a Kähler form representing this class, define its Calabi energy to be the L2-norm of its scalar curvature. This note proves that a critical metric for the Calabi energy, if any, is a global minimum among representatives of the chosen class, and that the critical value is determined a priori by the Kähler class. This answers affirmatively two questions of Calabi ([2, p. 99]).
