A basic problem in differential geometry is to find canonical metrics on manifolds. The best known example of this is the classical uniformization theorem for Riemann surfaces. Extremal metrics were introduced by Calabi as an attempt at finding a higher-dimensional generalization of this result, in the setting of Kahler geometry. This book gives an introduction to the study of extremal Kahler metrics and in particular to the conjectural picture relating the existence of extremal metrics on projective manifolds to the stability of the underlying manifold in the sense of algebraic geometry. The book addresses some of the basic ideas on ... Read more

Reviews for An Introduction To Extremal Kahler Metri
This is an important book, in a rapidly-developing area, that brings the specialist or graduate student working on Kähler geometry to the frontiers of today research. It is not a self-contained textbook. The pre-requisites in geometric invariant theory, for example, would require some devotion from a potential reader grounded on Riemannian geometry; vice-versa, a reader brought-up in algebraic geometry would ...
