Admissible HYM metrics on klt KE varieties and the MY equality for big anticanonical K-stable varieties

TL;DR
This paper proves three main results about stability and metrics on singular varieties. It shows that on a compact klt Kähler–Einstein variety, a reflexive sheaf that is stable with respect to the singular KE metric $ω$ admits a $ω$-admissible Hermitian–Yang–Mills metric, establishing a HYM correspondence in the singular setting. It further proves a structure theorem: if a projective klt variety with big $-K_X$ is K-stable and attains the Miyaoka–Yau equality, its anticanonical model $Z$ has a quasi-étale cover by $ℂP^n$, indicating a CP^n-type rigidity under equality. Finally, it provides an explicit example of a rank-3 bundle that is semistable for a nef and big class but not for any ample class, illustrating non-openness of semistability and the nuanced behavior of stability in the nef/big versus ample regime. Collectively, the results integrate tame approximations, positive products, and stability theory to illuminate HYM metrics and the birational structure of big anti-canonical varieties.
Abstract
This short note includes three results: $(1)$ If a reflexive sheaf $\mathcal{E}$ on a log terminal Kähler-Einstein variety $(X,ω)$ is slope stable with respect to a singular Kähler-Einstein metric $ω$, then $\mathcal{E}$ admits an $ω$-admissible Hermitian-Yang-Mills metric. $(2)$ If a K-stable log terminal projective variety with big anti-canonical divisor satisfies the equality of the Miyaoka-Yau inequality in the sense of \cite{IJZ25}, then its anti-canonical model admits a quasi-étale cover from $\mathbb{C}P^n$. $(3)$ There exists a holomorphic rank 3 vector bundle on a compact complex surface which is semistable for some nef and big line bundle, but it is not semistable for any ample line bundles.
