Abstract: Let X be a compact K"ahler manifold with a given ample line bundle L. In cite{Don05}, Donaldson proved that the Calabi energy of a K"ahler metric in c1(L) is bounded from below by the supremum of a normalized version of the minus Donaldson--Futaki invariants of test configurations of (X,L). He also conjectured that the bound is sharp. In this paper, we prove a metric analogue of Donaldson's conjecture, we show that if we enlarge the space of test configurations to the space of geodesic rays in mathcalE2 and replace the Donaldson--Futaki invariant by the radial Mabuchi K-energy mathbfM, then a similar bound holds and the bound is indeed sharp. Moreover, we construct explicitly a minimizer of mathbfM. On a Fano manifold, a similar sharp bound for the Ricci--Calabi energy is also derived.
