Quantized Volume Comparison for Fano Manifolds, II

In this note, the second author's quantized volume comparison conjecture is solved: If $X$ is a smooth complex $K$-semistable Fano variety of dimension $n$, then for every integer $m\geq1$, \[ h^0(X,-mK_X)\leq h^0(\mathbb P^n,-mK_{\mathbb P^n}) =\binom{n+m(n+1)}{n}, \] and equality for one $m$ characterizes projective space. Somewhat surprisingly, the same statement actually holds whenever $T_X$ is slope semistable with respect to $-K_X$. The idea is to apply a jet-dimension counting trick to a filtration of subsheaves induced by $H^0(X,-mK_X)$. Then the slope semistability condition yields the desired dimension bound.
