Compact Kähler Manifold

Let X be a compact Kähler manifold and γ Kähler class. For a Kàhler metric g on X we denote by Rg the scalar curvature on X According to Calabi [3][4], consider the functional defined on the set of all the Kähler metrics g whose Kähler forms belong to γ, where dvg is the volume form associated to g. Such a Kähler metric is called extremal if it gives a critical point of Ф. In particular, if Rg is constant, g is extremal. The converse is also true if dim L(X) = 0, where L(X) is the maximal connected linear algebraic subgroup of AutoX (cf. [5]). Note also that any Kähler-Einstein metric is of constant scalar curvature.

Kahler Metric

For an integral Kähler class on a compact connected complex manifold, an extremal Kähler metric, if any, in the class is unique up to the action of Aut 0(M). This generalizes a recent result of Donaldson (see [4] for cases of metrics of constant scalar curvature) and that of Chen [3] for c1(M)≤0.

Kahler Metric

For any complex manifold of Kähler type, the L2-norm of the scalar curvature of an extremal Kähler metric is a continuous function of the Kähler class. In particular, if a convergent sequence of Kähler classes are represented by extremal Kähler metrics, the corresponding sequence of L2-norms of the scalar curvatures is convergent. Similarly, the sequence of holomorphic vector fields associated with a sequence of extremal Kähler metrics with converging Kähler classes is convergent.

A (symplectic) toric variety X, of real dimension 2n, is completely determined by its moment polytope Δ ⊂ ℝn. Recently Guillemin gave an explicit combinatorial way of constructing "toric" Kähler metrics on X, using only data on Δ. In this paper, differential geometric properties of these metrics are investigated using Guillemin's construction. In particular, a nice combinatorial formula for the scalar curvature R is given, and the Euler–Lagrange condition for such "toric" metrics being extremal (in the sense of Calabi) is proven to be R being an affine function on Δ ⊂ ℝn. A construction, due to Calabi, of a 1-parameter family of extremal Kähler metrics of non-constant scalar curvature on [Formula: see text] is recast very simply and explicitly using Guillemin's approach. Finally, we present a curious combinatorial identity for convex polytopes Δ ⊂ ℝn that follows from the well-known relation between the total integral of the scalar curvature of a Kähler metric and the wedge product of the first Chern class of the underlying complex manifold with a suitable power of the Kähler class.

AbstractLet (X, L) be a polarized algebraic manifold. Then for every test configuration μ = (X, L,Ψ) for (X, L) of exponent ℓ, we obtain an ℓ-th root (κ, D) of μ and Gm-equivariant desingularizations ι : ^X → X and η : ^X → Y, both isomorphic on^X \^X 0, such thatwhereκ= (Y, Q, η) is a test configuration for (X, L) of exponent 1, and D is an effective Q-divisor on^X such that ℓD is an integral divisor with support in the fiber X0. Then (κ, D) can be chosen in such a way thatwhere C1 and C2 are positive real constants independent of the choice of μ and ℓ. This plays an important role in our forthcoming papers on the existence of constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics (cf. [6]) and also on the compactified moduli space of test configurations (cf. [5],[7]).
