Title |
Destabilizations of K-unstable Fano varieties |
Abstract |
A key feature of stability theories in algebraic geometry is that unstable objects admit uniquely determined optimal destabilizations. This philosophy should hold for K-stability, which is a notion introduced by differential geometers to detect when Fano varieties admit Kahler-Einstein metrics. In this talk, I will discuss properties of certain optimal destabilization of K-unstable Fano varieties and uniqueness results. This is based on joint works with Yuchen Liu and Chuyu Zhou. |
