Tian's partial C0C^{0}-estimate for Fano manifolds

Let XX be a smooth Fano variety, let L=KXL=-K_X, and fix t0(0,1]t_0\in(0,1]. Define

K(X,t0)={ωc1(X):Ric(ω)t0ω},\mathcal{K}(X,t_0)=\{\omega\in c_1(X): \operatorname{Ric}(\omega)\geq t_0\omega\},

where the metrics are Kähler. For a metric potential ϕ\phi with curvature form ω\omega, choose an orthonormal basis {si(ϕ)}i=0Nk\{s_i^{(\phi)}\}_{i=0}^{N_k} of H0(X,kKX)H^0(X,-kK_X) for the norm skϕ2=Xs2ekϕωn\|s\|_{k\phi}^2=\int_X|s|^2e^{-k\phi}\omega^n, and define the Bergman function

ρω(k)(x)=i=0Nksi(ϕ)2ekϕ.\rho_\omega^{(k)}(x)=\sum_{i=0}^{N_k}|s_i^{(\phi)}|^2e^{-k\phi}.

Tian's partial C0C^{0}-estimate. Given t0(0,1]t_0\in(0,1], there exist k>0k>0 and δ>0\delta>0 such that kLkL is very ample and, for every ωK(X,t0)\omega\in\mathcal{K}(X,t_0),

infXρω(k)(x)δ.\inf_X\rho_\omega^{(k)}(x)\geq\delta.

The estimate supplies the uniform Bergman-kernel lower bound needed to relate Tian's continuity method to algebraic geometry and to obtain C0C^0 control of Kähler potentials. The source further says that kk can be chosen arbitrarily large; no resolution status is supplied here.
