We prove that polarised manifolds that admit a constant scalar curvature K\"ahler (cscK) metric satisfy a condition we call slope semistability. That is, we define the slope $\mu$ for a projective manifold and for each of its subschemes,…

This paper is the first step in a systematic project to study examples of K\"ahler manifolds with positive holomorphic sectional curvature ($H > 0$). Previously Hitchin proved that any compact K\"ahler surface with $H>0$ must be rational…

In this paper, we shall show that a polarized algebraic manifold is K-stable if the polarization class admits a Kaehler metric of constant scalar curvature. This generalizes the results of Chen-Tian, Donaldson and Stoppa. (Parts of the…

We present new constructions of Kaehler metrics with constant scalar curvature on complex surfaces, in particular on certain del Pezzo surfaces. Some higher dimensional examples are provided as well.

Let $\text{Bl}_{\mathbb{P}^1} \mathbb{P}^n$ be a K\"ahler manifold obtained by blowing up a complex projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ along a line $\mathbb{P}^1$. We prove that $\text{Bl}_{\mathbb{P}^1} \mathbb{P}^n$ does not admit constant…

We study the 2-systole on compact K\"ahler surfaces of positive scalar curvature. For any such surface $(X,\omega)$, we prove the sharp estimate $\min_X S(\omega)\cdot\operatorname{sys}_2(\omega)\le 12\pi$, with equality if and only if…
