Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality for log terminal Kähler threefolds

TL;DR
The paper proves an orbifold Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality for stable reflexive $\mathbb{Q}$-sheaves on 3-dimensional compact Kähler spaces with log terminal singularities: for such a sheaf $\mathcal{F}$, the discriminant current satisfies $[\omega_X]$-intersection nonnegativity, i.e. $\\Delta({\mathcal F})\\cdot [\omega_X]\\ge 0$. The authors develop analytic tools—canonical singular metrics $\omega$ solving a Monge-Ampère equation, interpolating metrics $\omega_\theta$, and Hermite-Einstein metrics $h_{\mathcal F}$—and leverage Green's function estimates from GPSS to control currents and boundary terms. The equality case yields that ${\mathcal F}$ is projectively flat on the smooth locus and extends, after a finite quasi-étale cover, to a locally trivial $\mathbb P^{r-1}$-bundle, supporting a conjecture of Campana–Höring–Peternell and informing abundance-type questions for Kähler threefolds. Overall, the work provides a robust analytic framework for BG-type inequalities on singular Kähler spaces and connects orbifold Chern-class concepts to stability theory, with implications for the structure of vector bundles and abundance results in complex geometry.
Abstract
In this article we are mainly concerned with three dimensional compact Kähler spaces with log terminal singularities. We establish the orbifold version of the Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality for stable $\mathbb Q$-sheaves.
