Title: Valuative invariants for spherical varieties and applications to K-stability

Abstract: The Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture aims to establish a connection between the existence of canonical metrics, such as Kähler-Einstein metrics and constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics, and stability conditions in algebraic geometry. In this talk, we will discuss the alpha invariant and the delta invariant, two crucial valuative invariants relevant to the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture. We will provide formulas of these invariants for ample line bundles on spherical varieties, a class of varieties known for their large symmetry. Subsequently, we will explore applications of these formulas

to K(Ding-)stability problems.
