چکیده

This is a report on numerical work on extremal Kahler metrics on toric surfaces, using the ideas developed in [3]. These are special Riemannian metrics on manifolds of 4 real, or 2 complex dimensions. They can be regarded as solutions of a fourth order partial differential equation for a convex function on a polygon. We refer to the preceding article [4] for further background. Motivation for this kind of work can be found in at least three different sources:

Toric Geometry of Convex Quadrilaterals

We provide an explicit resolution of the Abreu equation on convex labeled quadrilaterals. This confirms a conjecture of Donaldson in this particular case and implies a complete classification of the explicit toric Kähler– Einstein and toric Sasaki–Einstein metrics constructed in [6, 23, 14]. As a byproduct, we obtain a wealth of extremal toric (complex) orbi-surfaces, including Kähler–Einstein ...

Approximating Ricci solitons and quasi-Einstein metrics on toric surfaces

We present a general numerical method for investigating prescribed Ricci curvature problems on toric Kähler manifolds. This method is applied to two generalisations of Einstein metrics, namely Ricci solitons and quasi-Einstein metrics. We begin by recovering the Koiso–Cao soliton and the Lü–Page–Pope quasi-Einstein metrics on CP2]CP (in both cases the metrics are known explicitly). We also find...

A Note on the K−stability on Toric Manifolds

In this note, we prove that on polarized toric manifolds the relative K-stability with respect to Donaldson’s toric degenerations is a necessary condition for the existence of Calabi’s extremal metrics, and also we show that the modified K-energy is proper in the space of G0invariant Kähler metrics for the case of toric surfaces which admit the extremal metrics. 0. Introduction Around the exist...

Minimizing Weak Solutions for Calabi’s Extremal Metrics on Toric Manifolds

The existence of extremal metrics has been recently studied extensively on Kähler manifolds. The goal is to establish a sufficient and necessary condition for the existence of extremal metrics in the sense of Geometric Invariant Theory. There are many important works related to the necessary part ([Ti], [D1], [M1],[M2]). The sufficient part seems more difficult than the necessary part since the...

Kähler Geometry of Toric Varieties and Extremal Metrics

A (symplectic) toric variety X, of real dimension 2n, is completely determined by its moment polytope ∆ ⊂ Rn. Recently Guillemin gave an explicit combinatorial way of constructing “toric” Kähler metrics on X, using only data on ∆. In this paper, differential geometric properties of these metrics are investigated using Guillemin’s construction. In particular, a nice combinatorial formula for the...
