An obstruction to semistability of manifolds. (Q5945211)

For a compact connected \(n\)-dimensional Kähler manifold \(M\) with Kähler form sitting in \(2\pi \eta\) for some integral Kähler class \(\eta\), a relevant obstruction due to Futaki and Calabi asserts that if the class \(2\pi \eta\) admits a Kähler metric with constant scalar curvature, then the associated Bando-Calabi-Futaki character vanishes. In this note, the authors announce that the Bando-Calabi-Futaki character is also an obstruction to the semistability in the sense of Tian and to the semistability in the sense of Chow points. The details will appear in: The Bando-Calabi-Futaki character as an obstruction to semistability (Preprint).
