Abstract: Suppose (X,omega) is a compact K"ahler manifold. Following Mabuchi, the space of smooth K"ahler potentials mathcalH can be endowed with a Riemannian structure, which induces an infinite dimensional path length metric space (mathcalH,d). We prove that the metric completion of (mathcalH,d) can be identified with (mathcalE2(X,omega),ilded), and this latter space is a complete non-positively curved geodesic metric space. In obtaining this result, we will rely on envelope techniques which allow for a treatment in a very general context. Profiting from this, we will characterize the pairs of potentials in extPSH(X,omega) that can be connected by weak geodesics and we will also give a characterization of mathcalE(X,omega) in this context.
