We prove that if a compact smooth polarized complex manifold admits in the corresponding Hodge K\"ahler class a conformally K\"ahler, Einstein--Maxwell metric, or more generally, a K\"ahler metric of constant $(\xi, a, p)$-scalar curvature,…

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…

Based on Donaldson's method, we prove that, for an integral Kahler class, when there is a Kahler metric of constant scalar curvature, then it minimizes the K-energy. We do not assume that the automorphism group is discrete.

We present in this note a lower bound for the Calabi functional in a given K\"ahler class. This yields an integral inequality for constant scalar curvature metrics, which can be viewed as a refined version of Yau's Chern number inequality.

In this paper we investigate the existence of metrics with weighted constant scalar curvature (wcscK for short) on a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$: this notion include constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metrics, weighted solitons, Calabi's…

Let $(X,L_X)$ be a polarized manifold and $D$ be a smooth hypersurface such that $D \in | L_X |$. In this paper, we show that if there is no nontrivial holomorphic vector field on $D$ and ${\rm Aut}_0 ((X,L_X); D)$ is trivial, then constant…

We study a system of equations on a compact complex manifold, that couples the scalar curvature of a Kaehler metric with a spectral function of a first-order deformation of the complex structure. The system comes from an…

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.

We establish the convexity of Mabuchi's K-energy functional along weak geodesics in the space of Kahler potentials on a compact Kahler manifold thus confirming a conjecture of Chen and give some applications in Kahler geometry, including a…

Some curvature properties of Kahler manifolds of indefinite metrics are studied. Analogues of a Kulkarni's theorem are proved for such manifolds.

The paper introduces a number of new techniques to handle minimal hyersurface singularities. In particular, they allow to extend the obstruction theory for postive scalr curvature to any dimension.

A holomorphy potential is a complex valued function whose complex gradient, with respect to some K\"ahler metric, is a holomorphic vector field. Given $k$ holomorphic vector fields on a compact complex manifold, form, for a given K\"ahler…

In this short note, we prove the existence of constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metrics on compact K\"ahler manifolds with semi-ample canonical bundles.

Let M be a compact complex surface which admits a Kaehler metric whose scalar curvature has integral zero; and suppose the fundamental group of M does not contain an Abelian subgroup of finite index. Then if M is blown up at sufficiently…

In this note we give a simplified proof of a recent result of X.X. Chen, which together with work of G. Szekelyhidi implies that on a sufficiently small deformation of a polarized constant scalar curvature Kahler manifold the K-energy has a…

Given a compact constant scalar curvature Kaehler orbifold, with nontrivial holomorphic vector fields, whose singularities admit a local ALE Kaehler Ricci-flat resolution, we find sufficient conditions on the position of the singular points…

The main result of this paper shows that "test configurations" give new lower bounds on the $L^{2}$ norm of the scalar curvature on a Kahler manifold. This is closely analogous to the analysis of the Yang-Mills functional over Riemann…

The aim of this paper is to classify compact Kahler manifolds with quasi-constant holomorphic sectional curvature.

In this short note we prove that if the curvature tensor is uniformly bounded along the Calabi flow and the Mabuchi energy is proper, then the flow converges to a constant scalar curvature metric.
