Uniform K-stability and plt blowups of log Fano pairs

Abstract

We show relationships between uniform K-stability and plt blowups of log Fano pairs. We see that it is enough to evaluate certain invariants defined by volume functions for all plt blowups in order to test uniform K-stability of log Fano pairs. We also discuss the uniform K-stability of two log Fano pairs under crepant finite covers. Moreover, we give another proof of K-semistability of the projective plane.
