چکیده
It is very hard to find computable examples of geodesics in the space of Kaehler metrics. It seems that they come in two types: (i) geodesics of toric Kaehler metrics, the topic of Lecture 2; (iii) geodesics coming from special test configurations and Hele-Shaw flows. Besides Donaldson’s construction (reviewed in §1) there are not many examples of geodesic rays. Almost the only other explicit examples are toric cases or ‘test configurations’. This lecture is devoted to the HRMA and to toric Kahler manifolds where the toric geodesic equation reduces to the HRMA. The only (embedded) toric Kaehler manifolds of complex dimension one are the Riemannian metrics on S = CP which are invariant under rotations around the third axis. Thus we are interested in “ one parameter families of surfaces of revolution which are geodesics in the Mabuchi-Semmes-Donaldson metric.’ It is not obvious, but surfaces of revolution (i.e. toric Kaehler metrics on S) form a totally geodesic submanifold HTm of Hω. The reason that one can explicitly solve the MSD geodesic equation in the toric case is that the HCMA may be linearized by the Legendre transform. Roughly speaking, we transfer the problem from Kaehler potentials to symplectic potentials, where the equation for geodesics becomes linear and solvable. All of the difficulty lies in Legendre transforming back and dealing with the singularities that arise from this transform. The torus invarince in complex dimension one is S invariance and it reduces the HCMA to the HRMA. A toy model for the HRMA is the equation det Hessf = 0 for a function f(x, t) on the upper half plane t > 0. The initial value problem is briefly reviewed in §2.

Another facet of geodesics is GAT or “geometric approximation theory”. It is very difficult to work directly with infinite dimensional geometry and GAT is a special method in projective K’́ahler geometry to make fiinite dimensional approximations of the infinite dimensional locally symmetric space Hω by genuine finite dimensional symmetric spaces of type GC/G with G = SU(N). The compact group SU...
متن کاملRicci tensor for $GCR$-lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Kaehler manifolds
We obtain the expression of Ricci tensor for a $GCR$-lightlikesubmanifold of indefinite complex space form and discuss itsproperties on a totally geodesic $GCR$-lightlike submanifold of anindefinite complex space form. Moreover, we have proved that everyproper totally umbilical $GCR$-lightlike submanifold of anindefinite Kaehler manifold is a totally geodesic $GCR$-lightlikesubmanifold.
متن کاملA compact symmetric symplectic non-Kaehler manifold dg-ga/9601012
In this paper I construct, using off the shelf components, a compact symplectic manifold with a non-trivial Hamiltonian circle action that admits no Kaehler structure. The non-triviality of the action is guaranteed by the existence of an isolated fixed point. The motivation for this work comes from the program of classification of Hamiltonian group actions. The Audin-Ahara-Hattori-Karshon class...
متن کاملDoubly Warped Product Cr-submanifolds in a Locally Conformal Kaehler Space Form
Recently, the present authors considered doubly warped product CR-submanifolds in a locally conformal Kaehler manifold and got some inequalities about the length of the second fundamental form ([14]). In this report, we obtain an inequality of the mean curvature of a doubly warped product CR-submanifold in a locally conformal Kaehler space form. Then, we consider the equality case of this inequ...
