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…

In this paper, we prove that, a compact complex manifold $X$ admits a smooth Hermitian metric with positive (resp. negative) scalar curvature if and only if $K_X$ (resp. $K_X^{-1}$) is not pseudo-effective. On the contrary, we also show…

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,…

Based on recent work of S. K. Donaldson and T. Mabuchi, we prove that any extremal Kaehler metric in the sense of E. Calabi, defined on the product of polarized compact complex projective manifolds is the product of extremal Kaehler metrics…

The purpose of this paper is to study the Sasakian geometry on odd dimensional sphere bundles over a smooth projective algebraic variety $N$ with the ultimate, but probably unachievable goal of understanding the existence and non-existence…

We introduce a notion of a K\"ahler metric with constant weighted scalar curvature on a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$, depending on a fixed real torus $\mathbb{T}$ in the reduced group of automorphisms of $X$, and two smooth (weight)…
