Mabuchi and Aubin-Yau functionals over complex surfaces

Abstract

In this note we construct Mabuchi $\mathcal{L}^{{\rm M}}_{\omega}$ functional and Aubin-Yau functionals $\mathcal{I}^{{\rm AY}}_{\omega}, \mathcal{J}^{{\rm AY}}_{\omega}$ on any compact complex surfaces, and establish a number of properties. Our construction coincides with the original one in the K\"ahler case.
