%0 Journal Article %T Greatest lower bounds on the Ricci curvature of Fano manifolds %A G¨˘bor Sz¨¦kelyhidi %J Mathematics %D 2009 %I arXiv %R 10.1112/S0010437X10004938 %X On a Fano manifold M we study the supremum of the possible t such that there is a K\"ahler metric in c_1(M) with Ricci curvature bounded below by t. This is shown to be the same as the maximum existence time of Aubin's continuity path for finding K\"ahler-Einstein metrics. We show that on P^2 blown up in one point this supremum is 6/7, and we give upper bounds for other manifolds. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0903.5504v1
