Abstract

We study the behavior under Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of the spectrum of weighted $\overline{\partial}$-Laplacian on compact Kähler manifolds. This situation typically occurs for a sequence of Fano manifolds with anticanonical Kähler class. We apply it to show that, if an almost smooth Fano–Ricci limit space admits a Kähler–Ricci limit soliton and the space of all $L^2$ holomorphic vector fields with smooth potentials is a Lie algebra with respect to the Lie bracket, then the Lie algebra has the same structure as smooth Kähler–Ricci solitons. In particular if a $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano variety admits a Kähler–Ricci limit soliton and all holomorphic vector fields are $L^2$ with smooth potentials then the Lie algebra has the same structure as smooth Kähler–Ricci solitons. If the sequence consists of Kähler–Ricci solitons then the Ricci limit space is a weak Kähler–Ricci soliton on a $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano variety and the space of limits of $1$-eigenfunctions for the weighted $\overline{\partial}$-Laplacian forms a Lie algebra with respect to the Poisson bracket and admits a similar decomposition as smooth Kähler–Ricci solitons.
