$δ$-invariants of log Fano planes

TL;DR
This work determines the δ-invariant for pairs $(\mathbb{P}^2, \lambda C_d)$ with $d\le 4$, providing explicit stability windows for a wide range of singularity types and tangency configurations. The authors employ Kento Fujita’s formulas for the δ-invariant and leverage the Abban–Zhuang method to reduce higher-dimensional stability questions to surface computations on plane curves, yielding precise expressions and bounds for $\delta_P(\mathbb{P}^2,\lambda C)$ and $\delta(\mathbb{P}^2,\lambda C)$. As a result, they produce new examples of $K$-stable and $K$-semistable log Fano pairs, with applications to Du Val del Pezzo surfaces, projective spaces, cubic and quartic solids, and complete intersections, thereby enriching the $K$-moduli landscape. The findings illuminate how singularity type and tangency influence stability, and demonstrate a practical framework for examining $K$-stability in low-dimensional settings through systematic surface-level analysis.
Abstract
We compute the $δ$-invariant for pairs $(\mathbb{P}^2, λC_d)$, where $C_d$ is a plane curve of degree $d \leq 4$. These computations provide new examples of $K$-stable and $K$-semistable log Fano pairs, and contribute to the study of $K$-stability of log Fano varieties via the Abban-Zhuang method, which reduces higher-dimensional problems to the surface case.
