Twisted cscK metrics and K\"ahler slope stability
  We introduce a cohomological obstruction to solving the constant scalar curvature K\"ahler (cscK) equation twisted by a semipositive form, appearing in works of Fine and Song-Tian. Geometrically this gives an obstruction for a manifold to be the base of a holomorphic submersion carrying a cscK metric in certain ``adiabatic'' classes. In turn this produces many new examples of general type threefolds with classes which do not admit a cscK representative. When the twist vanishes our obstruction extends the slope stability of Ross-Thomas to effective divisors on a K\"ahler manifold. Thus we find examples of non-projective slope unstable manifolds.
