On compactness of K\"ahler metrics with bounded entropy and bounded L2n+1L^{2n+1} scalar curvature

In their seminal work (\cite{CC}, \cite{CC2}), Chen and Cheng proved apriori estimates for the constant scalar curvature metrics on compact K\"ahler manifolds. They also proved $C^{3,\alpha}$ estimate for the potential of the \ka metrics under boundedness assumption on the scalar curvature and the entropy. The goal of this short note is to slightly relax the boundedness condition on the scalar curvature

Balanced Metrics and Chow Stability of Projective Bundles over K\"ahler Manifolds

In 1980, I. Morrison proved that slope stability of a vector bundle of rank 2 over a compact Riemann surface implies Chow stability of the projectivization of the bundle with respect to certain polarizations. Using the notion of balanced metrics and recent work of Donaldson, Wang, and Phong-Sturm, we show that the statement holds for higher rank vector bundles over compact algebraic manifolds of arbitrary dimension that admit constant scalar curvature metric and have discrete automorphism group

Quantization of the Laplacian operator on vector bundles I

Let $(E,h)$ be a holomorphic Hermitian vector bundle over a polarized manifold. We provide a canonical quantization of the Laplacian operator acting on sections of the bundle of Hermitian endomorphisms of $E$. If $E$ is simple we obtain an approximation of the eigenvalues and eigenspaces of the Laplacian

Quantization of Donaldson's heat flow over projective manifolds

33 pagesInternational audienceConsider $E$ a holomorphic vector bundle over a projective manifold $X$ polarized by an ample line bundle $L$. Fix $k$ large enough, the holomorphic sections $H^0(E\otimes L^k)$ provide embeddings of $X$ in a Grassmanian space. We define the \textit{balancing flow for bundles} as a flow on the space of projectively equivalent embeddings of $X$. This flow can be seen as a flow of algebraic type hermitian metrics on $E$. At the quantum limit $k\to \infty$, we prove the convergence of the balancing flow towards the Donaldson heat flow, up to a conformal change. As a by-product, we obtain a numerical scheme to approximate the Yang-Mills flow in that context
