Kähler-Einstein metrics along the smooth continuity method (Q343515)

Let \(M\) be a Fano manifold of dimension \(n\) and suppose that a compact group \(G\) acts on \(M\) by holomorphic automorphisms. The main result of this paper is an equivariant version of a result of \textit{X. Chen} et al. [Int. Math. Res. Not. 2014, No. 8, 2119--2125 (2014; Zbl 1331.32011)], namely Theorem 1. Suppose that \((M, K_M^{-1})\) is \(K\)-stable with respect to special degenerations that are \(G\)-equivariant. Then \(M\) admits a Kähler-Einstein metric. The method of proof is to use the classical continuity path \(\mathrm{Ric}(\omega _t)=t\omega _t+(1-t)\alpha \) for \(t\in [0, 1]\) and its analogue for Kähler-Ricci solitons.
