Space of K\"ahler metrics (IV)--On the lower bound of the K-energy
  We partially confirm an old conjecture of Donaldson that if there exists a cscK metrics in a given K\"ahler class, then there is no degenerated geodesic ray which is tamed by a bounded ambient geometry unless it parallels to a holomorphic line consists of cscK metrics only. We also prove that for simple test configuration where the central fibre has a cscK metric, the K energy functionals in the nearby fibre must also have a uniform lower bound in its underlying K\"ahler class.
