Colloquium: Extremal K\"ahler metrics inspired by E. Calabi

Colloquium| Institute of Mathematical Sciences

Abstract: Calabi's influence on theoretical physics and mathematics has stretched far and wide. So I will focus on his favorite program in Kähler geometry, that is his program on 1950's and still very active even today.  An area which has been greatly shaped by Calabi, an area his wisdom will continue guide us into the unknown future..
