Abstract: We introduce a class of almost homogeneous varieties contained in the class of spherical varieties and containing horospherical varieties as well as complete symmetric varieties. We develop K{"a}hler geometry on these varieties, with applications to canonical metrics in mind, as a generalization of the Guillemin-Abreu-Donaldson geometry of toric varieties. Namely we associate convex functions with hermitian metrics on line bundles, and express the curvature form in terms of this function, as well as the corresponding Monge-Amp{`e}re volume form and scalar curvature. We then provide an expression for the Mabuchi functional and derive as an application a combinatorial sufficient condition of properness similar obtained by Li, Zhou and Zhu on group compactifications.

Review text

In order to generalize Guillemin-Abreu-Donaldson geometry of toric varieties, the author introduces the so called horosymmetric varieties, which are contained in the class of spherical varieties and containing horospherical varieties as well as complete symmetric varieties, and develop Kähler geometry on these varieties. The author associates convex functions with Hermitian metrics on line bundles, and express the curvature form in terms of this function, as well as the corresponding Monge-Ampère volume form and scalar curvature. Then the author provides an expression for the Mabuchi functional and derives as an application a combinatorial sufficient condition of properness similar to one obtained by \textit{Y. Li} et al. [J. Funct. Anal. 275, No. 5, 1023--1072 (2018; Zbl 1392.53076)]. This finally translates to a sufficient criterion of existence of constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics thanks to the recent work of \textit{X. Chen} and \textit{J. Cheng} [``On the constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics, existence results, Preprint, \url{arXiv:1801.00656}]. It yields infinitely many new examples of explicit Kähler classes admitting cscK metrics.
