Delta invariants of weighted hypersurfaces
Taro Sano, Luca Tasin
TL;DR
The paper addresses the problem of establishing K-stability for large classes of Fano weighted hypersurfaces by obtaining sharp lower bounds for delta-invariants. It combines the Abban--Zhuang stability framework with a detailed analysis of linear systems on flags of weighted hypersurfaces, extending these techniques to singular (quasi-smooth) settings. The main contribution is a general bound $\delta(\mathcal{O}_X(1)) \ge \frac{(n+1)a_r}{d}$ under divisibility conditions, which implies $\delta(-K_X) \ge 1$ and, for $n \ge 3$, K-stability when $X$ is Fano with appropriate index constraints. The results yield K-stability for wide families of quasi-smooth and smooth weighted hypersurfaces (e.g., index 1 cases with $a_{n+1}|d$) and provide a framework that covers many low-dimensional classifications, thereby advancing the understanding of Kähler–Einstein metrics on these singular Fano varieties.
Abstract
We give a lower bound for the delta invariant of the fundamental divisor of a quasi-smooth weighted hypersurface. As a consequence, we prove K-stability of a large class of quasi-smooth Fano hypersurfaces of index 1 and of all smooth Fano weighted hypersurfaces of index 1 and 2. The proofs are based on the Abban--Zhuang method and on the study of linear systems on flags of weighted hypersurfaces.
