K-semistability of log Fano cone singularities

TL;DR
The paper develops a non-Archimedean framework for local K-semistability of log Fano cone singularities, proving a full equivalence between NA functional positivity, delta-criterion, and stability against special test configurations. It extends global K-stability ideas to the local cone setting, establishing a continuous dependence on Reeb fields and a valuative criterion that reduces checks to special configurations. A key contribution is linking special test configurations to lc places of torus-equivariant bounded complements, yielding a torus-equivariant existence theory for complements. The results unify analytic and algebro-geometric perspectives, providing practical criteria for verifying local K-semistability and informing moduli-like questions for singularities with torus actions.
Abstract
We give a non-Archimedean characterization of K-semistability of log Fano cone singularities, and show that it agrees with the definition originally defined by Collins--Székelyhidi. As an application, we show that to test K-semistability, it suffices to test special test configurations. We also show that special test configurations give rise to lc places of torus equivariant bounded complements.
