Abstract

In this note we revisit and extend few classical and recent results on the definition and use of the Futaki invariant in connection with the existence problem for Kaehler constant scalar curvature metrics on polarized algebraic manifolds, especially in the case of resolution of singularities. The general inspiration behind this work is no doubt the beautiful 1992 paper by Ding and Tian which contains the germs of a huge amount of the successive developments in this fundamental problem, and it is a great pleasure to dedicate this to Professor G. Tian on the occasion of his birthday!
