Abstract
We show that, in toric Kähler geometry, the sign of the Ricci curvature corresponds exactly to convexity properties of the volume functional.We also discuss analogous relationships in the more general context of quasi-homogeneous manifolds, and existence results for minimal Lagrangian submanifolds.
期刊介绍:
Publishes high quality papers on all aspects of symplectic geometry, with its deep roots in mathematics, going back to Huygens’ study of optics and to the Hamilton Jacobi formulation of mechanics. Nearly all branches of mathematics are treated, including many parts of dynamical systems, representation theory, combinatorics, packing problems, algebraic geometry, and differential topology.
