This is an invitation to the probabilistic approach for constructing K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on complex projective algebraic manifolds X. The metrics in question emerge in the large N-limit from a canonical way of sampling N points on X,…
In the probabilistic construction of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on a complex projective algebraic manifold X - involving random point processes on X - a key role is played by the partition function. In this work a new quantitative bound on…
In the present paper and the companion paper [8] a probabilistic (statistical mechanical) approach to the study of canonical metrics and measures on a complex algebraic variety X is introduced. On any such variety with positive Kodaira…
We introduce new probabilistic and variational constructions of (twisted) K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on complex projective algebraic varieties, drawing inspiration from Onsager's statistical mechanical model of turbulence in two-dimensional…
These notes expand on talks given by the authors at the 2025 Summer Research Institute in Algebraic Geometry in Fort Collins, Colorado. We discuss the relation between algebraic, analytic, and non-Archimedean geometry over the complex…
We propose an algebraic geometric stability criterion for a polarised variety to admit an extremal Kaehler metric. This generalises conjectures by Yau, Tian and Donaldson which relate to the case of Kaehler-Einstein and constant scalar…
This paper is a survey of some recent progress on the study of Calabi's extremal K\"ahler metrics. We first discuss the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture relating the existence of extremal metrics to an algebro-geometric stability notion and we…
We survey some recent developments in the direction of the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture, which relates the existence of constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metrics to the algebro-geometric notion of K-stability. The emphasis is put on the…
The first part of this paper discusses general procedures for finding numerical approximations to distinguished Kahler metrics, such as Calabi-Yau metrics, on complex projective manifolds. These procedures are closely related to ideas from…
In a recent paper it was shown that all the Hilbert space formulas for quantum probabilities can be realized as functions of geometric properties of the associated projective space, but those functions were expressed using the structures of…
This is mainly a survey, explaining how the probabilistic (statistical mechanical) construction of Kahler-Einstein metrics on compact complex manifolds, introduced in a series of works by the author, naturally arises from classical…
We establish a version, formulated in terms of non-Archimedean pluripotential theory, of the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture for constant scalar curvature and, more generally, weighted extremal K\"ahler metrics with prescribed compact…
Inspired by the prospect of having discretized spaces emerge from random graphs, we construct a collection of simple and explicit exponential random graph models that enjoy, in an appropriate parameter regime, a roughly constant vertex…
In classical probability theory, the convergence of empirical frequencies to theoretical probabilities: as captured by the Law of Large Numbers (LLN): is treated as axiomatic and emergent from statistical assumptions such as independence…
This is a survey article, based on the author's lectures in the 2015 Current developments in Mathematics meeting; published in "Current developments in Mathematics". Version 2, references corrected and added.
We prove a conjecture due to Sturmfels and Uhler concerning the degree of the projective variety associated to the Gaussian graphical model of the cycle. We involve new methods based on the intersection theory in the space of complete…
We give a variational proof of a version of the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture for twisted K\"ahler-Einstein currents, and use this to express the greatest (twisted) Ricci lower bound in terms of a purely algebro-geometric stability…
In the present paper and the companion paper [9] a probabilistic (statistical-mechanical) approach to the construction of canonical metrics on a complex algebraic varieties X is introduced, by sampling "temperature deformed" determinantal…
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…
We extend Tsuji's iterative construction of complete K\"ahler--Einstein metrics with negative scalar curvature to noncompact K\"ahler manifolds with bounded geometry, using Berndtsson's method from the compact setting. Consequently, given a…
