Einstein Metrics and Git Stability
نویسنده
چکیده
In this expository article we review the problem of finding Einstein metrics on compact Kähler manifolds and Sasaki manifolds. In the former half of this article we see that, in the Kähler case, the problem fits better with the notion of stability in Geometric Invariant Theory if we extend the problem to that of finding extremal Kähler metrics or constant scalar curvature Kähler (cscK) metrics. In the latter half of this paper we see that most of ideas in Kähler geometry extend to Sasaki geometry as transverse Kähler geometry. We also summarize recent results about the existence of toric Sasaki-Einstein metrics.

Warped product and quasi-Einstein metrics
Warped products provide a rich class of physically significant geometric objects. Warped product construction is an important method to produce a new metric with a base manifold and a fibre. We construct compact base manifolds with a positive scalar curvature which do not admit any non-trivial quasi-Einstein warped product, and non compact complete base manifolds which do not admit any non-triv...
متن کاملOn quasi-Einstein Finsler spaces
The notion of quasi-Einstein metric in physics is equivalent to the notion of Ricci soliton in Riemannian spaces. Quasi-Einstein metrics serve also as solution to the Ricci flow equation. Here, the Riemannian metric is replaced by a Hessian matrix derived from a Finsler structure and a quasi-Einstein Finsler metric is defined. In compact case, it is proved that the quasi-Einstein met...
متن کاملWeighted projective embeddings, stability of orbifolds and constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics
We embed polarised orbifolds with cyclic stabiliser groups into weighted projective space via a weighted form of Kodaira embedding. Dividing by the (non-reductive) automorphisms of weighted projective space then formally gives a moduli space of orbifolds. We show how to express this as a reductive quotient and so a GIT problem, thus defining a notion of stability for orbifolds. We then prove an...

Starting with the work of Yau [Y1], Donaldson [D1], and Uhlenbeck-Yau [UY], the notion of stability has revealed itself under many guises to be closely related to the existence of canonical metrics in Kähler geometry. The equivalence between Hermitian-Einstein metrics on vector bundles and Mumford stability was proved by Donaldson and Uhlenbeck-Yau in [D1] and [UY], while the existence of Kähle...
متن کاملJeffrey Streets And
We define an elliptic equation for Hermitian metrics which is related to the Einstein condition. Solutions to this equation are closely related to Kähler-Einstein metrics, and are automatically Kähler-Einstein when a certain non-positive condition is satisfied by c1(M). Given this, a natural flow equation arises taking Hermitian metrics to Kähler metrics. We prove short time existence and regul...
