Abstract

We study the weighted constant scalar curvature, a modified scalar curvature introduced by Lahdili depending on weight functions , on certain non-compact semisimple toric fibrations, a generalization of the Calabi Ansatz defined by Apostolov–Calderbank–Gauduchon–Tønnesen-Friedman. We show that the natural analog of the weighted Futaki invariant of Lahdili can under reasonable assumptions be interpreted on an unbounded polyhedron associated to . In particular, we fix a certain class of weights , and prove that if admits a weighted cscK metric, then is K-stable, and we give examples of weights on for which the weighted Futaki invariant vanishes but do not admit -cscK metrics. Following Jubert, we introduce a weighted Mabuchi energy and show that the existence of a -cscK metric implies that it proper, and prove a uniqueness result using the method of Guan. We show that weighted K-stability of the abstract fiber is sufficient for the existence of weighted cscK metrics on the total space of line bundles over a compact Kähler base, extending a result of Lahdili in the -bundles case. The right choice of weights corresponds to the (shrinking) Kähler-Ricci soliton equation, and we give an interpretation of the asyptotic geometry in this case.

Comments: Added Corollary 1.3 and its proof, and other minor changes, as per the suggestion of the referee. Final version, to appear in J. Geom. Anal
