Bando-Calabi-Futaki character of compact toric manifolds (Q1598953)

Let \(X\) be a compact connected complex manifold, \(\mathcal H\) be the Lie algebra of holomorphic vector fields on \(X\). A Kähler metric \(g\) on \(X\) defines the \((1,1)\)-form \(\omega_g\), the complex Laplacian, and the measure on \(X\). The Bando-Calabi-Futaki character \(F:{\mathcal H}\to\mathbb C\) is defined by integration of the function \(Vf_g\), where \(V\in{\mathcal H}\) and \(f_g\) is some explicitly defined (by the condition that its Laplacian differs by some special constant from the scalar curvature) real-valued function on \(X\). According to results of Bando, Calabi, and Futaki, \(F\) depends only on the cohomological class \(\eta\) of \(\omega_g\) in \(H^2(X;{\mathbb R)}\), \(F\) is a Lie algebra character, and \(F\) vanishes if \(g\) has constant scalar curvature. The author proved [Math. Ann. 314, 369-380 (1999; Zbl 0954.32018)] that \(F\) vanishes on the Lie algebra of the unipotent radical \(U_X\) of the group \(G_X={\text{ Aut}}(X)\) if there exists a holomorphic line bundle \(L\) over \(X\) which is \(G_X\)-linearized and such that \(\eta\) coincides with its first Chern class \(c_1(L)\). In this paper, the author obtains an analogous result for unipotent subgroups of groups acting on holomorphic line bundles over \(X\). If \(X\) is a toric manifold then it admits an action of some algebraic torus of the same dimension. Suppose that \(\eta\in H^2(X;{\mathbb Z})\) is positive. Without any assumptions concerning a linearization of the natural action of \(G_X\), it is proved that \(F\) vanishes on \(\mathcal H\) if and only if \(F\) vanishes on the Lie algebra of the torus.
