\(I\)-properness of Mabuchi's \(K\)-energy (Q889730)

Over the space of Kähler metrics associated to a fixed Kähler class, the author first proves the lower bound of the energy functional \(\widetilde{E}^\beta\), then he provides the criteria of the geodesics rays to detect the lower bound of \(\widetilde{J}^\beta\)-functional. They are used to obtain the \(I\)-properness of Mabuchi's \(K\)-energy. The criteria are examined under a necessary and sufficient condition by showing the convergence of the negative gradient flow of \(\widetilde{J}^\beta\)-functional. Let \((M,\omega)\) be a compact Kähler manifold of complex dimension \(n\) and \(\Omega = [\omega]\) be the Kähler class containing the Kähler metric \(\omega\). Let \(\chi\) be a closed \((1,1)\)-form. Theorem 1. Assume that \(\chi\) is negative semi-definite and there is \(\widetilde{J}^\beta\)-metric in \(\Omega\), then all \(\widetilde{J}^\beta\)-metrics have the same critical value and \(\widetilde{J}^\beta\) has a lower bound.
