The Calabi functional on a ruled surface

Abstract

We study the Calabi functional on a ruled surface over a genus two curve. For polarisations which do not admit an extremal metric we describe the behaviour of a minimising sequence splitting the manifold into pieces. We also show that the Calabi flow starting from a metric with suitable symmetry gives such a minimising sequence.
