In this expository article we review the problem of finding Einstein metrics on compact K\"ahler manifolds and Sasaki manifolds. In the former half of this article we see that, in the K\"ahler case, the problem fits better with the notion…
In this expository paper we review on the existence problem of Einstein-Maxwell K\"ahler metrics, and make several remarks. Firstly, we consider a slightly more general set-up than Einstein-Maxwell K\"ahler metrics, and give extensions of…
Let $M$ be a compact complex manifold admitting a K\"ahler structure. A conformally K\"ahler, Einstein-Maxwell metric (cKEM metric for short) is a Hermitian metric $\tilde{g}$ on $M$ with constant scalar curvature such that there is a…
Using the tractor calculus to study smooth metric measure spaces, we adapt results of Gover and Nurowski to give sharp metric obstructions to the existence of quasi-Einstein metrics on suitably generic manifolds. We do this by introducing…
We introduce a new weighted version of the Hermite--Einstein equation, along with notions of weighted slope (semi/poly)stability, and prove that a vector bundle admits a weighted Hermite--Einstein metric if and only if it is weighted slope…
We study a variational problem whose critical point determines the Reeb vector field for a Sasaki-Einstein manifold. This extends our previous work on Sasakian geometry by lifting the condition that the manifolds are toric. We show that the…
On a given compact complex manifold or orbifold $(M,J)$, we study the existence of Hermitian metrics $\tilde g$ in the conformal classes of K\"ahler metrics on $(M,J)$, such that the Ricci tensor of $\tilde g$ is of type $(1,1)$ with…
Motivated by the study of coupled K\"ahler-Einstein metrics by Hultgren and Witt Nystr\"om and coupled K\"ahler-Ricci solitons by Hultgren, we study in this paper coupled Sasaki-Einstein metrics and coupled Sasaki-Ricci solitons. We first…

We present classical and recent results on K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on compact complex manifolds, focusing on existence, obstructions and relations to algebraic geometric notions of stability (K-stability). These are the notes for the SMI…
An introduction is provided to some current research trends in stability in geometric invariant theory and the problem of Kaehler metrics of constant scalar curvature. Besides classical notions such as Chow-Mumford stability, the emphasis…
We describe two simple obstructions to the existence of Ricci-flat Kahler cone metrics on isolated Gorenstein singularities or, equivalently, to the existence of Sasaki-Einstein metrics on the links of these singularities. In particular,…
In K-stability, the delta invariant of a Fano variety encodes the existence of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics. We introduce a weighted analytic delta invariant, and a reduced version, that characterize the existence of weighted solitons. We…
In recent years, there are many progress made in K\"ahler geometry. In particular, the topics related to the problems of the existence and uniqueness of extremal K\"ahler metrics, as well as obstructions to the existence of such metrics in…
This article is a summary of some of the author's work on Sasaki-Einstein geometry. A rather general conjecture in string theory known as the AdS/CFT correspondence relates Sasaki-Einstein geometry, in low dimensions, to superconformal…
We discuss how metric limits and rescalings of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics connect with Algebraic Geometry, mostly in relation to the study of moduli spaces of varieties, and singularities. Along the way, we describe some elementary examples,…
In this paper we study an integral invariant which obstructs the existence on a compact complex manifold of a volume form with the determinant of its Ricci form proportional to itself, in particular obstructs the existence of a…
Solutions to vacuum Einstein field equations with cosmological constant, such as the de Sitter space and the anti-de Sitter space, are basic in different cosmological and theoretical developments. It is also well known that complex…
We find new obstructions to the desingularization of compact Einstein orbifolds by smooth Einstein metrics. These new obstructions, specific to the compact situation, raise the question of whether a compact Einstein $4$-orbifold which is…
