We study the higher order Kobayashi pseudometric introduced by Yu. We first obtain estimates of this pseudometric in a special pseudoconvex domain in $\C^3$. We then study the structure of the higher order extremal discs and their…

We study extremal discs for the Kobayashi metric. Inspired by work of Lempert on strongly convex domains, we present results on strongly pseudoconvex domains. We also consider a useful biholomorphic invariant, inspired by the Kobayashi (and…

We show that if the Segre varieties of a strictly pseudoconvex hypersurface in $\mathbb{C}^2$ are extremal discs for the Kobayashi metric, then that hypersurface has to be locally spherical. In particular, this gives yet another…

In the paper we generalize the notion of problem (P) introduced by Poletsky. We introduce the notion of (P_m) extremals. For example, geodesics are (P_1) extremals. Using obtained results we present a description of (P_m) extremals in…

In this thesis we study the relationship between the existence of canonical metrics on a complex manifold and stability in the sense of geometric invariant theory. We introduce a modification of K-stability of a polarised variety which we…

We establish plurisubharmonicity of envelopes of certain classical disc functionals on locally irreducible complex spaces, thereby generalizing the corresponding results for complex manifolds. We also find new formulae expressing the…

We establish disc formulas for the Siciak-Zahariuta extremal function of an arbitrary open subset of complex affine space, generalizing Lempert's formula for the convex case. This function is also known as the pluricomplex Green function…

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…

The notion of weighted extremal K\"ahler metrics extends the classical notion of Calabi's extremal K\"ahler metrics, but includes many well-studied objects in K\"ahler geometry such as K\"ahler-Ricci solitons and Sasaki-Einstein metrics. In…

We study a disc formula for the relative extremal function for Borel sets in complex manifolds.

We explain how to find the KK-theoretic counterpart of extremal K-set defined by Larry Brown and Gert Pedersen.

We define K-stability of a polarized Sasakian manifold relative to a maximal torus of automorphisms. The existence of a Sasaki-extremal metric in the polarization is shown to imply that the polarization is K-semistable. Computing this…

We generalize the bifurcation technique of Bando-Mabuchi in the context of extremal metrics.

The Hitchin-Kobayashi correspondence for vector bundles, established by Donaldson, Kobayashi, Luebke, Uhlenbeck and Yau, states that an indecomposable holomorphic vector bundle over a compact Kaehler manifold is stable in the sense of…

Using a recent result of L\'arusson and Poletsky regarding plurisubharmonic subextensions we prove a disc formula for the quasiplurisubharmonic global extremal function for domains in complex projective space. As a corollary we get a…

Let E be the Engel group and D be a rank 2 bracket generating left invariant distribution with a Lorentzian metric, which is a nondegenerate metric of index 1. In this paper, we first prove that timelike normal extremals are locally…

In this paper we prove some new symmetry results for the extremals of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities, in any dimension larger or equal than two.

We give a geometric characterization of extremal sets in ell_p spaces that generalizes our previous result for such sets in Hilbert spaces.

For each closed, positive (1,1)-current \omega on a complex manifold X and each \omega-upper semicontinuous function \phi on X we associate a disc functional and prove that its envelope is equal to the supremum of all…

We shall present an elementary approach to extremal decompositions of (quantum) covariance matrices determined by densities. We give a new proof on former results and provide a sharp estimate of the ranks of the densities that appear in the…
