The Calabi Problem for Fano Threefolds by Agatha Christie
This book determines whether the general member of each family of smooth Fano threefolds admits a KahlerEinstein metric, using K-stability. Complemented by appendices outlining results needed to understand this active area, it will be essential reading for researchers and graduate students working on algebraic and complex geometry.
'The notion of K-stability for Fano manifold has origins in differential geometry and geometric analysis but is now also of fundamental importance in algebraic geometry, with recent developments in moduli theoryThis monograph gives an account of a large body of research results from the last decade, studying in depth the case of Fano threefolds. The wealth of material combines in a most attractive way sophisticated modern theory and the detailed study of examples, with a classical flavour. The authors obtain complete results on the K-stability of generic elements of each of the 105 deformation classes. The concluding chapter contains some fascinating conjectures about the 34 families which may contain both stable and unstable manifolds, which will surely be the scene for much further work. The book will be an essential reference for many years to come.' Sir Simon Donaldson, F.R.S., Imperial College London
'It is a difficult problem to check whether a given Fano variety is K-polystable. This book settles this problem for the general members of all the 105 deformation families of smooth Fano 3-folds. The book is recommended to anyone interested in K-stability and existence of Kähler-Einstein metrics on Fano varieties.' Caucher Birkar FRS, Tsinghua University and University of Cambridge
