Title

Thresholds, Valuations, and K-stability

Abstract

Let L be a line bundle on a projective variety X. We use valuations to measure the singularities of the linear system |mL| as m goes to infinity. Specifically, we consider the global log canonical threshold and stability thresholds of L. The stability threshold generalizes an invariant recently introduced by Kento Fujita and Yuji Odaka. When X is a Fano variety, we show that the stability threshold detects the K-(semi)stability of X. This talk is based on joint work with Mattias Jonsson.
