TL;DR
This work establishes a relative uniform Yau–Tian–Donaldson correspondence for projective bundles $Y=\mathbb{P}(E)$ over a curve by introducing compatible test configurations induced from the fiber $X=\mathbb{P}(\oplus_j \mathbb{C}^{d_j})$ and gluing them via horospherical symmetry to the base bundle. It proves that relative uniform K-stability for these compatible configurations is equivalent to the existence of an extremal Kähler metric in the given class, with the metric being compatible, and to a weighted K-stability condition on the moment polytope $\Delta$ with explicit weights $(p v,\hat w)$. The strategy combines a fiberwise analysis on $X$ using a generalized Calabi construction and a global extension to $Y$ by a bundle construction, reducing stability questions to convex polytope functionals and Mabuchi energy coercivity on lifted polytopes. The results unify extremal existence, polytope stability, and horospherical symmetry, offering concrete criteria for projective bundles and enriching the YTD program with explicit, computable weights tied to the bundle's topological data.
Abstract
This paper is concerned with a relative uniform Yau--Tian--Donaldson correspondence, in terms of test configurations, for the projectivization \( \mathbb{P}(E) \) of a holomorphic vector bundle \( E \) over a smooth curve. For any Kähler class \( [ω] \) on \( \mathbb{P}(E) \), we construct Kähler test configurations, which we call \emph{compatible test configurations}. They are obtained by gluing horospherical test configurations from the fibers, arising from convex functions on a suitable moment polytope \( Δ\) following the construction of Delcroix, to the principal bundle associated with \( \mathbb{P}(E) \). Using the generalized Calabi ansatz of Apostolov--Calderbank--Gauduchon--Tønnesen-Friedman on these test configurations, we show that the relative uniform stability of \( (\mathbb{P}(E),[ω]) \) for compatible test configurations implies the existence of an extremal metric in this class, thereby establishing the equivalence. Along the way, we prove that these two conditions are equivalent to the weighted uniform stability of \( Δ\) for suitable explicit weight functions defined from the topological data of \( \mathbb{P}(E) \).
