In these notes, after an introduction to toric Kahler geometry, we present Calabi's family of U(n)-invariant extremal Kahler metrics in symplectic action-angle coordinates and show that it actually contains, as particular cases, many…
We study the existence of extremal K\"ahler metrics on K\"ahler manifolds. After introducing a notion of relative K-stability for K\"ahler manifolds, we prove that K\"ahler manifolds admitting extremal K\"ahler metrics are relatively…
In this thesis we study the relationship between the existence of canonical metrics on a complex manifold and stability in the sense of geometric invariant theory. We introduce a modification of K-stability of a polarised variety which we…
New examples of extremal K\"ahler metrics on blow-ups of parabolic ruled surfaces are constructed. The method is based on the gluing construction of Arezzo, Pacard and Singer. This enables to endow ruled surfaces of the form…
We construct extremal metrics on the total space of certain destabilising test configurations for strictly semistable K\"ahler manifolds. This produces infinitely many new examples of manifolds admitting extremal K\"ahler metrics. It also…
We provide a new proof of a result of X.X.Chen and G.Tian : for a polarized extremal K\"ahler manifold, an extremal metric attains the minimum of the modified K-energy. The proof uses an idea of C.Li adapted to the extremal metrics using…
We present a unified description of extremal metrics for the Laplace and Steklov eigenvalues on manifolds of arbitrary dimension using the notion of $n$-harmonic maps. Our approach extends the well-known results linking extremal metrics for…
The purpose of this paper is to prove the a priori estimates for constant scalar curvature Kaehler metrics with conic singularities along normal crossing divisors. The zero order estimates are proved by a reformulated version of…
Some curvature properties of Kahler manifolds of indefinite metrics are studied. Analogues of a Kulkarni's theorem are proved for such manifolds.
We show that if a compact K\"ahler manifold admits a weighted extremal metric for the action of a torus, so too does its blowup at a relatively stable point that is fixed by both the torus action and the extremal field. This generalises…
We construct new explicit toric scalar-flat K{\"a}hler ALE metrics on weighted projective spaces of non-compact type, which we use to obtain smooth extremal K{\"a}hler metrics on appropriate resolutions of orbifolds. In particular, we…
We investigate extremal metrics at which various types of rigidity theorems involving scalar curvatures hold. The rigidity we discuss here is related to the rigidity theorems presented by Mario Listing in his previous preprint. More…
In this short note, we prove that conformal classes which are small perturbations of a product conformal class on a product with a standard sphere admit a metric extremal for some Laplace eigenvalue. As part of the arguments we obtain…
We consider homomorphisms of hermitian holomorphic Hilbert bundles. Assuming the homomorphism decreases curvature, we prove that its pointwise norm is plurisubharmonic.
Various curvature conditions are studied on metrics admitting a symmetry group. We begin by examining a method of diagonalizing cohomogeneity-one Einstein manifolds and determine when this method can and cannot be used. Examples, including…
This article is an expository introduction to our paper Convexity of the K-energy and Uniqueness of Extremal metrics. We present the main ideas behind the proof that Mabuchi's K-energy functional is convex along weak geodesics in the space…
We provide an explicit resolution of the Abreu equation on convex labeled quadrilaterals. This confirms a conjecture of Donaldson in this particular case and implies a complete classification of the explicit toric K\"ahler-Einstein and…
We establish a regularity result for the metric on any 4-dimensional extremal K\"ahler manifold, and a weak compactness theorem on the space of such metrics. Specifically, the sectional curvature at a point is bounded when the quantity…
We develop a general theory for the existence of extremal K\"ahler metrics of Poincar\'e type in the sense of Auvray, defined on the complement of a toric divisor of a polarized toric variety. In the case when the divisor is smooth, we…
Consider a compact K\"ahler manifold which either admits an extremal K\"ahler metric, or is a small deformation of such a manifold. We show that the blowup of the manifold at a point admits an extremal K\"ahler metric in K\"ahler classes…
