Title:

Computing the α-Futaki character

Abstract：

Alvarez-Consul–Garcia-Fernandez–Garcia-Prada introduced the Kahler-Yang-Mills equations (coupled equations for a Kahler metric and a metric on a holomorphic vector bundle ). They also introduced the α-Futaki character, an analog of the Futaki character, as an obstruction to the existence of solutions of the Kahler-Yang-Mills equations. In this talk, we will prove a formula for the α-Futaki character for certain ample line bundles over toric manifolds. We will then compute the α-Futaki character in some cases and compare it with the known existence result of Keller–Tønnesen-Friedman.
