Valuative stability of polarized varieties and applications

Abstract

Recently, Dervan-Legendre considered the valuative criterion of polarized varieties. We will study the valuative stability and show that it is an open condition. We would like to study the valuative criterion for the Donaldson's J-equation. Motivated by the beta-invariant of Dervan-Legendre, we introduce a notion, the so-called valuative J-stability and prove that J-stability implies valuative J-stability. If time permits, we show the upper bound of the volume of K-semistable polarized toric varieties as an application of valuative stability.
