For Fano manifolds T. Mabuchi introduced a generalization of the K\"ahler-Einstein metric, which is characterized as the critical point of the Ricci-Calabi functional. We show that a Fano manifold admits Mabuchi's metric if and only if it…

We derive a formula for the L^2 norm of the scalar curvature of any extremal Kaehler metric on a compact toric manifold, stated purely in terms of the geometry of the corresponding moment polytope. The main interest of this formula pertains…

Given a compact Chern-Ricci flat balanced orbifold, we show that its blow-up at a finite family of smooth points admits constant Chern scalar curvature balanced metrics, extending Arezzo-Pacard's construction to the balanced setting.…

From the work of Dervan-Keller, there exists a quantization of the critical equation for the J-flow. This leads to the notion of J-balanced metrics. We prove that the existence of J-balanced metrics has a purely algebro-geometric…

A new construction is presented of scalar-flat Kaehler metrics on non-minimal ruled surfaces. The method is based on the resolution of singularities of orbifold ruled surfaces which are closely related to rank-2 parabolically stable…

In joint work with Chen and Weber, the author has elsewhere shown that CP2#2(-CP2) admits an Einstein metric. The present paper gives a new and rather different proof of this fact. Our results include new existence theorems for extremal…

The relationship between stable holomorphic vector bundles on a compact complex surface and the same such objects on a blowup of the surface is investigated, where "stability" is with respect to a Gauduchon metric on the surface and…

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 point out how some recent developments in the theory of constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metrics can be used to clarify the existence issue for such metrics in the special case of geometrically ruled complex surfaces.

Let $(M,J,\Omega)$ be a closed polarized complex manifold of K\"ahler type. Let $G$ be the maximal compact subgroup of the automorphism group of $(M,J)$. On the space of K\"ahler metrics that are invariant under $G$ and represent the…

In this paper, we discuss the relative $K$-stability and the modified $K$-energy associated to the Calabi's extremal metric on toric manifolds. We give a sufficient condition in the sense of convex polytopes associated to toric manifolds…

We present a classification of compact Kaehler manifolds admitting a hamiltonian 2-form (which were classified locally in part I of this work). This involves two components of independent interest. The first is the notion of a rigid…

In a Riemannian manifold with a smooth positive function that weights the associated Hausdorff measures we study stable sets, i.e., second order minima of the weighted perimeter under variations preserving the weighted volume. By assuming…

The Einstein-Maxwell equations on a smooth compact 4-manifold are reformulated as a purely Riemannian variational problem analogous to Calabi's variational problem for extremal Kahler metrics. Next, Seiberg-Witten theory is used to show…

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…

Suppose that there exist two K\"ahler metrics $\omega$ and $\alpha$ such that the metric contraction of $\alpha$ with respect to $\omega$ is constant, i.e. $\Lambda_{\omega} \alpha = \text{const}$. We prove that for all large enough $R>0$…

Consider a polarized complex manifold (X,L) and a ray of positive metrics on L defined by a positive metric on a test configuration for (X,L). For most of the common functionals in K\"ahler geometry, we prove that the slope at infinity…

Suppose that a polarised K\"ahler manifold $(X,L)$ admits an extremal metric $\omega$. We prove that there exists a sequence of K\"ahler metrics $\{ \omega_k \}_k$, converging to $\omega$ as $k \to \infty$, each of which satisfies the…

We prove the existence of Kahler-Einstein metric on a K-stable Fano manifold using the recent compactness result on Kahler-Ricci flows. The key ingredient is an algebro-geometric description of the asymptotic behavior of Kahler-Ricci flow…

We study issues pertaining to the Ricci-flatness of metrics on orbifolds resolved by D-branes. We find a K\"ahler metric on the three-dimensional orbifold $\C^3/\Z_3$, resolved by D-branes, following an approach due to Guillemin. This…
