Energy functionals and Kähler-Ricci solitons
arXiv:0906.5522
Abstract
In this paper, we generalize Chen-Tian energy functionals to Kähler-Ricci solitons and prove that the properness of these functionals is equivalent to the existence of Kähler-Ricci solitons. We also discuss the equivalence of the lower boundedness of these functionals and their relation with Tian-Zhu's holomorphic invariant.
