Analytic K-semistability and local wall-crossing

Journal article, 2025

For a small polarised deformation of a constant scalar curvature Kähler manifold, under some cohomological vanishing conditions, we prove that K-polystability along nearby polarisations implies the existence of a constant scalar curvature Kähler metric. In this setting, we reduce K-polystability to the computation of the classical Futaki invariant on the cscK degeneration. Our result holds on specific families and provides local wall-crossing phenomena for the moduli of cscK manifolds when the polarisation varies.
