The sharp volume gap for K\"ahler manifolds with positive Ricci curvature

We prove a sharp volume gap estimate: if an $n$-dimensional compact K\"ahler manifold $(X, \omega)$ satisfies $\mathrm{Ric}(\omega)\ge (n+1)\omega$ and $X\not\cong \mathbb{P}^n$, then $\mathrm{vol}(X, \omega)\le \frac{2n^n}{(n+1)^n}\mathrm{vol}(\mathbb{P}^n,\omega_{\mathrm{FS}})=\frac{2^{n+1} \, \pi^n \, n^n}{(n+1)^n}$. Moreover $\mathrm{vol}(X, \omega)= \frac{2^{n+1} \, \pi^n \, n^n}{(n+1)^n}$ occurs if and only if $(X, \omega)$ is biholomorphically isometric to the K\"ahler-Einstein metric on the quadric hypersurface $Q^n$ or on the product $\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^{n-1}$. We also obtain sharp volume gap estimates for K-semistable toric log Fano pairs.

Stable Degenerations of log Fano Fibration Germs

We prove the stable degeneration conjecture of log Fano fibration germs formulated by Sun-Zhang. Precisely, we introduce the $\mathbf{H}$-invariant for filtrations over a log Fano fibration germ, and show that there exists a unique quasi-monomial valuation $v_0$ minimizing the $\mathbf{H}$-invariant. Moreover, we prove that the associated graded ring of $v_0$ is finitely generated and induces a special degeneration to a K-semistable polarized log Fano fibration germ, which further admits a unique K-polystable special degeneration.

On the volume of K-semistable Fano manifolds

We prove that the anti-canonical volume of an $n$-dimensional K-semistable Fano manifold that is not $\mathbb{P}^n$ is at most $2n^n$. Moreover, the volume is equal to $2n^n$ if and only if $X\cong \mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ or $X$ is a smooth quadric hypersurface $Q\subset \mathbb{P}^{n+1}$. Our proof is based on a new connection between K-semistability and minimal rational curves.

Optimal Degenerations of K-unstable Fano threefolds

We explicitly determine the optimal degenerations of Fano threefolds $X$ in family No 2.23 of Mori-Mukai's list as predicted by the Hamilton-Tian conjecture. More precisely, we find a special degeneration $(\mathcal{X}, \xi_0)$ of $X$ such that $(\mathcal{X}_0, \xi_0)$ is weighted K-polystable, which is equivalent to $(\mathcal{X}_0, \xi_0)$ admitting a K\"ahler-Ricci soliton (KRS) by \cite{HL23} and \cite{BLXZ23}. Furthermore, we study the moduli spaces of $(\mathcal{X}_0, \xi_0)$. The $\mathbf{H}$-invariant of $X$ divides the natural parameter space into two strata, which leads to different moduli spaces of KRS Fano varieties. We show that one of them is isomorphic to the GIT-moduli space of biconic curves $C\subseteq \mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^1$, and the other one is a single point.

K\"ahler-Ricci solitons on Fano threefolds with non-trivial moduli

We find Fano threefolds $X$ admitting K\"ahler-Ricci solitons (KRS) with non-trivial moduli, which are $\mathbb{T}$-varieties of complexity two. More precisely, we show that the weighted K-stability of $(X,\xi_0)$ (where $\xi_0$ is the soliton candidate) is equivalent to certain GIT-stability. In particular, this provides the first examples of strictly weighted K-semistable Fano varieties. On the other hand, we generalize Koiso's theorem to the log Fano setting. Indeed, we show that the K-stability of a log Fano pair $(V,\Delta_V)$ is equivalent to the weighted K-stability of a cone $(Y, \Delta_Y, \xi_0)$ over it. This also leads to new examples of KRS Fano varieties with non-trivial moduli and small automorphism groups. To achieve these, we establish the weighted Abban-Zhuang estimate generalizing the work of \cite{AZ22}, which gives a lower bound of the weighted stability threshold $\delta^g_{\mathbb{T}}(X,\Delta)$. This is an effective way to check the weighted K-semistablity of a log Fano triple $(X,\Delta,\xi_0)$. This estimate is also useful in testing (weighted) K-polystability based on the work of \cite{BLXZ23}.

A Note On K\"ahler-Ricci Flow on Fano Threefolds

In this note, we show that the solution of K\"ahler-Ricci flow on every Fano threefold from the family No.2.23 in the Mori-Mukai's list develops type II singularity. In fact, we show that no Fano threefold from the family No.2.23 admits K\"ahler-Ricci soliton and the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of the K\"ahler-Ricci flow must be a singular $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano variety. This gives new examples of Fano manifolds of the lowest dimension on which K\"ahler-Ricci flow develops type II singularity.
