Pluripotential-Theoretic Stability Thresholds

Abstract

Abstract Given a compact polarized manifold $(X,L)$, we introduce two new stability thresholds in terms of singularity types of global quasi-plurisubharmonic functions on $X$. We prove that in the Fano setting, the new invariants can effectively detect K-stability of $X$. We study some functionals of geodesic rays in the space of Kähler potentials by means of the corresponding test curves. In particular, we introduce a new entropy functional of quasi-plurisubharmonic functions and relate the radial entropy functional to this new entropy functional.
