ISBN: 3764361948 ISBN-13: 9783764361945 Publisher: Birkhauser OUR PRICE: $80.74 Product Type: Paperback Published: August 2000 Annotation: There has been fundamental progress in complex differential geometry in the last two decades. For one, the uniformization theory of canonical K??hler metrics has been established in higher dimensions, and many applications have been found, including the use of Calabi-Yau spaces in superstring theory. The aim of this monograph is to give an essentially self-contained introduction to the theory of canonical K??hler metrics on complex manifolds. It also presents the reader with some advanced topics in complex differential geometry not easily found elsewhere. The topics include Calabi-Futaki invariants, extremal K??hler metrics, the Calabi-Yau theorem on existence of K??hler Ricci-flat metrics, and recent progress on K??hler-Einstein metrics with positive scalar curvature. Applications of K??hler-Einstein metrics to the uniformization theory are also discussed. Readers with a good general knowledge of differential geometry and partial differential equations should be able to grasp and appreciate the materials in this monograph. |
