Tian's stabilization conjecture for alpha-invariants

About 2 years old · traced to

Let XX be a projective manifold and let LL be an ample line bundle on XX. The global log canonical threshold is denoted by 1α(L)1\alpha(L), and the level kk log canonical threshold by 1αk(L)1\alpha_k(L). By the known relation α=inf⁡kαk=lim⁡k→∞αk\alpha=\inf_k\alpha_k=\lim_{k\to\infty}\alpha_k, these are the alpha-invariant and its quantized versions.

Tian's stabilization conjecture. There exists k0∈N+k_0\in\mathbb{N}_+ such that, for every k≥k0k\geq k_0,

αk(L)=α(L).\alpha_k(L)=\alpha(L).

The conjecture asserts eventual stabilization of the quantized alpha-invariants and is motivated by their connection with Kähler–Einstein metrics. The paper provides a counterexample, so this conjecture is refuted.
